What it is and who needs it.
What the Pontiac right-of-way bond covers
A right-of-way bond is a restoration guarantee to the City of Pontiac. When you cut pavement, open a trench, or work in a city street, sidewalk, or curb, the city wants a financial backstop that the right-of-way will be restored to its standard and that you will follow your permit conditions.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Pontiac (the obligee). If you damage public infrastructure and fail to repair it, or leave work unfinished, the city can recover its restoration costs against the bond.
A blanket bond is the version for contractors who pull permits all year — one filing covers every Pontiac right-of-way permit for the term, rather than a separate bond per job. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety.
