What it is and who needs it.
What the Mishawaka street opening bond covers
The City of Mishawaka, through its Engineering Department, controls who may cut into a public street, alley, sidewalk, or right-of-way. A street opening permit is conditioned on a surety bond so the city is protected if the cut is left unsafe or the pavement is not restored.
The bond is a three-party guarantee: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Mishawaka (the obligee). If you fail to backfill, repave, and restore the right-of-way to city standard — or leave a hazard — the city can recover its repair costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore their cuts cleanly treat the bond as a permit formality. We issue the amount the Engineering Department set, at a flat 3% with no credit check.
