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 under a permit, the city wants a financial backstop that the right-of-way will be restored 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, the city can recover its restoration costs against the bond.
A single-job bond is tied to one permit and one project. If you expect to pull permits all year, the blanket bond is usually the cheaper path. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety.
