What it is and who needs it.
What the South Kingstown right-of-way bond covers
The Town of South Kingstown conditions work in the public right-of-way on a surety bond filed with the town. The bond guarantees that a contractor who opens, trenches, or places facilities in a town road or right-of-way backfills, repaves, and restores the surface to town standards once the work is done.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the Town of South Kingstown (the obligee). If a trench settles or the right-of-way is left unrestored, the town can recover its repair costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the town, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the road treat the bond as a permit formality. The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, and no credit check up to $100,000.

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
