What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Village of Southampton controls work in its streets and rights-of-way through an excavation / street-opening permit. The bond is a restoration guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to backfill, repave, and restore any surface you open to the Village's standards.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Southampton (the obligee). If you leave the cut unrestored or the restoration fails, the Village can recover against the bond to make the repair.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the Village, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore their cuts cleanly treat the bond as a permit formality.
