What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond covers
A right-of-way permit bond is a restoration guarantee to the municipality. The Town of Kearny conditions a right-of-way permit on this bond so that any roadway, sidewalk, curb, or right-of-way you disturb is restored to the Town standard.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Kearny (the obligee). The Town sets the amount based on the scope of the right-of-way work, so it is not a single fixed figure.
If you fail to restore the right-of-way, the Town can recover against the bond to have the work done — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. It is the Town’s assurance that the public way is put back right.

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 with your Kearny right-of-way permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Town insists on them.
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.
