What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Before the Town of Highland Park issues a permit to excavate in the public right-of-way, it requires the applicant to deposit a $10,000 surety bond payable to the Town, executed on the Town's own form. The bond is a restoration and public-safety guarantee: it backs your obligation to properly restore the right-of-way and to answer for injury or damage your work causes.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Highland Park (the obligee), with the Town and the public as the protected parties. Under the Town's terms, recovery on the bond for any one injury or accident does not exhaust it — the full amount covers all accidents or injuries during the term.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right-of-way properly treat the bond as a permit formality, and we track the filing so your $10,000 bond stays in place for the permit term.
