What is this bond?

This excavation and street opening bond is a financial guarantee required for contractors working within the public right-of-way in the Village of Oswego. It ensures that any streets, sidewalks, or public property altered during construction are fully restored to their original condition. If the contractor fails to properly repair the site, the bond provides funds to the municipality to cover the restoration costs.

Who needs it?

Construction professionals, utility companies, and private contractors performing trenching, digging, or repair work on public streets in Oswego typically need this bond. It is generally required before the local government will issue an excavation or right-of-way permit. Requirements vary, so always verify your specific project needs with the issuing agency before beginning work.

Why is it required?

The obligee requires this bond to protect public infrastructure from substandard workmanship, unapproved alterations, or abandoned projects. It serves as a financial safety net for the local government, ensuring taxpayer funds are not used to fix damaged roadways. If a contractor violates municipal guidelines or fails to complete the restoration, a claim can be filed against the bond to make the public whole.
