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.

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 $25,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The carrier issues this bond for a single two-year term; the term cannot be changed at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
