What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Nassau County, through its Department of Public Works, requires a bond before it issues a road opening permit. The bond is a performance-and-restoration guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to properly restore the County road or right-of-way you open, and to indemnify and hold the County harmless for the work.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the County of Nassau (the obligee). If a permittee fails to restore the roadway to County standards or leaves the right-of-way in a defective condition, the County can recover restoration costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Nassau requires the bond to stay effective for a minimum of two years — contractors who restore cleanly treat it as a routine permit cost.
