About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the highway opening bond covers

When you cut into, open, or occupy a county highway in Passaic County — to lay a utility line, make a road connection, or do any work in the county right-of-way — the County of Passaic issues a highway opening and use permit and requires a surety bond as a condition of it.

The bond guarantees that you restore the roadway to county standards and don't leave the county or the traveling public to pay for your trench, patch, or pavement settlement. The County Engineer 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 County of Passaic (the obligee). If the work isn't restored properly, the county can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
