What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A road opening permit bond is a restoration guarantee to the Township of Lyndhurst. When you cut into a township road to lay a line or make a connection, the township wants a financial backstop that you'll patch and restore the road properly instead of leaving a failing trench.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Township of Lyndhurst (the obligee). If the road isn't restored to township standards, or the patch fails, the township can recover against the bond to make the repair.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the road properly treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
