Town of Union, NY - Street Opening ($5,000) — required surety bond in New York. Apply online in minutes.
A street opening bond is a type of surety bond that guarantees contractors will properly restore public roads, sidewalks, and rights-of-way after completing excavation or construction work. It provides financial protection to the local municipality in case the contractor fails to meet local construction and safety standards. If the restoration work is incomplete or defective, the bond covers the cost for the town to fix the damage.
Contractors, utility companies, and construction professionals performing excavation, trenching, or paving work within public rights-of-way typically need this bond. Plumbers or landscapers who need to cut into a town street or sidewalk to access public utilities may also be required to secure one.
Local municipalities generally require this bond to protect public infrastructure from poor workmanship and uncompleted repairs. It ensures that taxpayers do not have to shoulder the financial burden of repairing streets damaged by private construction projects. The bond holds the contractor accountable for maintaining the safety, accessibility, and integrity of public roads.
