What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually covers
A right-of-way bond is a restoration guarantee to the local road authority. When you open Monroe Township's pavement or right-of-way to lay a line, set a driveway culvert, or run a utility, the township wants assurance that you will backfill, repave, and restore the road to its prior condition.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Monroe Township (the obligee). If you abandon the cut, fail to restore the road, or leave the right-of-way unsafe, the township can recover against the bond to fix it.
This is a single-job bond — it covers the specific permit and work you describe, not a year of jobs. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays the township, you repay the surety. Finish the restoration the township signs off on and the bond simply closes out.

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
File with Monroe Township. Submit the executed bond with your right-of-way permit application to the township. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the township insists on them.
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.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
