Brick, NJ — Right Of Way Bond
Brick Township distinguishes excavation deposits, temporary right-of-way occupancy security and yearly public-utility surety guarantees. Before applying for this Right of Way Bond, have the Township Engineer identify which instrument your work requires and whether the offered surety is accepted. A general right-of-way label does not make those requirements interchangeable.

Questions about this bond
Is $10,000 the requirement for every Brick right-of-way job?
No. Chapter 404 assigns $10,000 to temporary occupancy by a residential or commercial structure. Excavation deposits, other obstructions and public-utility yearly surety guarantees have different calculations.
Can a private contractor use the utility's yearly guarantee?
Do not assume that. The surety alternative in Section 404-6 concerns public utilities and a Council waiver. Ask the Engineer which instrument is accepted for your applicant and permit.
Does written approval to return a deposit cancel a surety bond?
Not automatically. The deposit-return provision and an issued surety instrument are different. Obtain the Township's release conditions and have the issuer explain what is needed for that bond.
