What it is and who needs it.
What the street opening bond covers
When you cut into or open a city street in Bayonne — to lay a utility line, make a connection, or do any work in the city right-of-way — the City of Bayonne issues a street opening permit and requires a surety bond as a condition of it.
The bond guarantees that you restore the street to city standards and don't leave the city or the public to pay for your trench, patch, or pavement settlement. The city 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 City of Bayonne (the obligee). If the work isn't restored properly, the city can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
