Chesilhurst, NJ — Street Opening Bond
Chesilhurst's street-opening rules distinguish security for one opening from an annual programme covering up to ten openings. They also separate the performance guarantee from maintenance security after restoration. Have the Borough Clerk and Engineer identify the arrangement, amount and form needed for your work before applying.

What this bond does
Secure the applicant's permitted opening and restoration of Borough-controlled right-of-way under Chesilhurst's street-opening requirements.
- Who needs it
- The person or company applying to the Borough Clerk for a street-opening permit, with contractor, owner and utility roles identified.
- Who it protects
- Performance security supports the accepted street-opening work until written release. Maintenance security then addresses the condition of the restored road after final acceptance; neither instrument is the permit itself.

Questions about this bond
Does the annual bond cover unlimited openings?
No. Section 420-6 describes $30,000 for one through ten openings and requires additional security above ten. Have the Clerk and Engineer confirm the openings and available guarantee.
Does an annual programme allow the performance bond to expire automatically?
The code separately requires performance security without an expiration date until the Engineer issues the written release received by the Clerk. Have the accepted instrument matched to that continuing obligation.
Is the maintenance bond the same as the original performance security?
The code calls for maintenance security of 15% of the original guarantee before performance release, for two years after final acceptance. It permits utilities to use suitable annual-guarantee language, but that does not establish that every applicant's purchase combines the two.
