What it is and who needs it.
What the street-permit bond covers
When a contractor or utility opens, cuts, or excavates a road in the Town of Machias, in Cattaraugus County, the Town requires a street / road-opening permit and a bond standing behind the work. The bond guarantees you restore the road surface and shoulder to the Town Highway Department’s standards.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Machias (the obligee). If you leave a cut unrestored, settle a trench improperly, or damage a town road and fail to repair it, the Town can recover against the bond to make the restoration good.
It is not insurance for you — if the Town draws on the bond, you repay the surety. Contractors who backfill and repave cleanly treat the bond as a permit formality. Enter the amount the Town set and we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
