What it is and who needs it.
What the street opening bond actually guarantees
A street opening bond is a restoration guarantee to the City of Camden. When you open, cut, or excavate a city street — to lay a utility line, repair a main, or run a service — the City wants assurance you will backfill, repave, and restore the road surface to its condition.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Camden (the obligee). If the street is left unrestored or the patch fails within the guarantee period, 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 the street cleanly treat the bond as a permit formality.
