What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A right-of-way bond is a restoration guarantee to the City of Long Branch. When you open, occupy, or work in the public right-of-way — a city street, sidewalk, or shoulder — the city wants a financial backstop that you'll restore it properly rather than leaving a failing patch or damaged surface.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Long Branch (the obligee). If the right-of-way isn't restored to city standards, the city can recover against the bond to make the repair.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right-of-way properly treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $5,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
