What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually guarantees
Under NYS Highway Law § 136, projects that access or modify a Suffolk County road right-of-way require a highway work permit from the Department of Public Works, issued through the County Superintendent of Highways. The permit is conditioned on a bond.
The bond guarantees you will comply with the permit and the County's rules, pay the fees and charges when due, and restore the right-of-way after the work. It is a three-party guarantee between you (the principal), the surety, and Suffolk County (the obligee), acting through the DPW.
If the work damages the County road, the trench fails, or the permit conditions go unmet, the County can use the bond to make repairs and recover its cost up to the penal sum. The standard County highway work permit amount is commonly $50,000 — we bond exactly the amount the County set, with your premium quoted after a quick application review; the application collects no credit information.
