What it is and who needs it.
What the blanket street openings bond covers
A blanket bond covers all your street-opening work in Findlay under one filing — instead of posting a single-address bond every time you cut the pavement. The City of Findlay Engineering Department publishes a blanket bond form precisely so utility and excavation contractors are not bonding cut by cut.
The bond is a three-party guarantee: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Findlay (the obligee). It guarantees that every street opening you make under the bond is backfilled and the pavement restored to city specifications, so the streets are left as good as the city requires.
It is not insurance for you. If a covered cut settles, fails, or is left unrestored and the city has to fix it, the city can recover against the bond, and you repay the surety. For a busy utility contractor, the blanket bond is the cleaner, cheaper way to stay permit-ready.
