What is this bond?

A Street Permit Bond in the City of Waltham is a financial guarantee required for contractors performing work on or altering public streets, sidewalks, and rights-of-way. It ensures that any excavations or damages made to public property are properly repaired and restored to the city's standards.

Who needs it?

Construction contractors, utility companies, and developers planning to excavate, block, or alter public roadways within Waltham typically need this bond. It is generally required before the city will issue a street opening or right-of-way permit.

Why is it required?

The City of Waltham requires this bond to protect the public from substandard workmanship or abandoned projects that leave roads in a hazardous condition. If a contractor fails to properly restore the street, the bond provides funds for the city to hire another party to complete the repairs.
