What the bond actually guarantees
A street-opening permit bond is a restoration guarantee. When you cut or open a city street, the City of Garden City wants assurance you'll patch the pavement and restore the roadway to city standards so the public isn't left with a failing repair.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Garden City (the obligee). If you leave the cut out of spec and don't fix it, the city can claim against the bond to cover the repair.
The bond is tied to your permit. We size it to whatever Garden City puts on the permit and get it filed before your work begins.
