What it is and who needs it.
What the street opening bond covers
When you cut into or open a borough street in Middlesex — to lay a utility line, make a connection, or do any work in the borough right-of-way — the Borough of Middlesex issues a street opening permit and requires a surety bond as a condition of it.
The bond guarantees that you restore the street to borough standards and don't leave the borough or the public to pay for your trench, patch, or pavement settlement. The borough sets the amount based on the scope of the opening and the cost of proper restoration.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and the Borough of Middlesex (the obligee). If the work isn't restored properly, the borough can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
