What is this bond?

A street opening bond is a type of surety bond required by local municipalities when contractors perform work that disrupts public streets, sidewalks, or rights-of-way. It guarantees that the contractor will properly restore the public property to its original condition after the project is completed. If the contractor fails to make the necessary repairs, the bond provides financial protection to cover the restoration costs.

Who needs it?

General contractors, plumbers, electricians, and utility companies performing excavation or construction work within the Borough of Cresskill typically need this bond. Anyone requesting a permit to cut, dig, or alter public roadways or sidewalks will generally be asked to secure this coverage. You should verify your specific bonding requirements directly with the local permitting office before beginning work.

Why is it required?

The Borough of Cresskill requires this bond to protect public infrastructure and taxpayer funds from incomplete or substandard street repairs. It ensures that the municipality will not be held financially responsible if a contractor abandons a job or fails to meet local construction standards.
