What this bond does
Address the security requested for a particular Barnegat Township street opening and restoration, once the Township confirms that the offered surety instrument is acceptable.
- Who needs it
- The applicant arranging a Township street opening, with the property owner, contractor and person posting security correctly identified.
- Who it protects
- Road-opening security supports the Township's restoration requirement. A surety bond, if accepted, is different from money deposited with the Township and does not authorize excavation.

Questions about this bond
Can one bond cover several holes at the same property?
The Township packet says only one opening per bond and calls for multiple bonds when there are multiple holes. Have the Clerk identify each required opening and security.
Is the security based on length or square footage?
The packet's road-opening bond instructions use linear feet: $2,500 up to 100 linear feet, plus $20 for each linear foot above 100 per opening. Have the Clerk confirm the calculation for your plans.
Can I replace the Township's refundable deposit with this surety bond?
That acceptance has not been established by the published instructions. Confirm it with the Clerk and have the required form matched before purchasing; a refundable deposit and a surety bond are different instruments.
