What it is and who needs it.
What the combined bond actually covers
Some Paterson excavation permits roll two guarantees into one bond. The performance portion guarantees you complete the excavation and restoration the City approved; the maintenance portion guarantees that restoration stays sound through the City’s maintenance period.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Paterson (the obligee). If you abandon the work or the patch fails during the maintenance period, the City can recover against the bond up to the penal sum.
Using a single combined bond keeps your filing simple when Paterson requires both. We issue the amount the City set; pricing starts from $100 and depends on your bond amount, on the form your permit names.
