What the maintenance bond actually covers
When you cut into a Paterson street or right-of-way, the patch has to last. A maintenance bond guarantees that your restoration holds up — no settlement, no failed patch — for the maintenance period the City sets after the work is accepted.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Paterson (the obligee). If the restoration fails during the maintenance period and you don't fix it, the City can recover against the bond to cover the repair.
This is distinct from a performance bond, which covers the original work. The maintenance bond is the City’s assurance that the public surface stays sound after you leave. We issue the amount Paterson set, at a flat 3%, $275 minimum.
