What it is and who needs it.
What the street-maintenance bond actually guarantees
The Town of Niagara owns and maintains its town roads, and conditions any permit to cut, open, or work in them on a street-maintenance bond. The bond is a restoration guarantee: it stands behind your promise to backfill, repave, and return the road and right-of-way to town standard after your work is done.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Niagara (the obligee). If you leave a trench unrestored, a settled patch, or damaged pavement, the Town can recover its repair cost against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the Town, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the road properly and pass the Town inspection treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.

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

What sets the price
The premium is 1% 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.
