What it is and who needs it.
What the road opening bond guarantees
A road opening permit bond is a restoration guarantee to the municipality. The City of Passaic conditions a permit to open or cut a public street on this bond so that the pavement, base, and right-of-way you disturb are restored to the City standard.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Passaic (the obligee). If you damage the street and fail to restore it, the City can recover against the $1,000 bond to have the work done — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
It is not insurance for you; it is the City’s assurance that the public road is put back right after your work.

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 $1,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The carrier issues this bond for a single two-year term; the term cannot be changed at checkout.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, October 8, in the year your term ends.
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 City. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the City of Passaic for your road-opening permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $200 at the $1,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
