What it is and who needs it.
What the highway permit bond actually covers
The Town of Ellicottville conditions a permit to open, excavate, or otherwise work within a town road on a bond guaranteeing the work. The bond is a performance and restoration guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to backfill, repave, and restore the town road, shoulder, and drainage to the Highway Department's specification.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Ellicottville (the obligee). If you leave a defective patch, damage the road, or fail to restore the right-of-way, the town can recover its repair costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the town, you repay the surety. The Highway Department sets the penal sum based on the work; enter that figure and see your price — no credit check up to $100,000, and most applicants approve instantly.

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 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
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 Ellicottville Highway Department. Submit the executed bond with your highway work permit application to the town. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the office insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
