What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Town of Chester requires a bond before it issues a right-of-way encroachment permit — for any work that encroaches on, opens, or occupies the Town right-of-way. This is a blanket bond: one $10,000 bond covers your right-of-way work across the Town rather than a separate bond per permit.
The bond is a performance-and-restoration guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to restore the right-of-way and comply with the permit conditions. It's a three-party arrangement — you (the principal), the surety, and the Town of Chester (the obligee).
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right-of-way cleanly treat the blanket bond as a one-time setup that clears all their Town permits.
