What it is and who needs it.
What the street opening bond actually guarantees
A street opening bond is a restoration guarantee to the Town of Harrison. When you open, cut, or excavate a town street — to lay a utility line, repair a connection, or run a service — the Town 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 Town of Harrison (the obligee). If the street is left unrestored or the patch fails within the guarantee period, the Town can recover its repair costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the Town, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the street cleanly treat the bond as a permit formality.

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 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.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Town. Submit the executed bond to the Town of Harrison Clerk or Engineering office with your permit. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Town insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
