What is this bond?

A Township of Ridgefield Street Opening Bond is a financial guarantee required for contractors performing excavation or construction work within the public right-of-way. It ensures that any alterations made to town streets, sidewalks, or infrastructure are properly repaired and restored to their original condition. If a contractor abandons the project or does substandard work, the bond provides funds to the town to complete the necessary repairs.

Who needs it?
