What this bond does

Provide the permit bond required by Coraopolis Borough for work authorized under its street-opening ordinance.

Who needs it
Persons, contractors and utilities applying to open or excavate a Coraopolis borough roadway or public right-of-way.
Who it protects
The borough’s permit bond secures performance of the authorized work, including backfilling, surface restoration and the specified maintenance responsibility. It is tied to the permit rather than every aspect of the applicant’s business.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Identify the opening and permit scope

Ordinance 1803 covers tunnels, openings and excavations in borough roadways and public rights-of-way. The applicant supplies the location, extent and plans for the work, and the borough issues the permit.

A separate permit is required for each project. An approved annual utility bond does not remove the need to identify and obtain the applicable opening permits.

Use the borough calculation and utility decision

Section 8 directs the borough to calculate restoration, inspection and related opening costs, then increase the total by 25% to determine security. The ordinary bond term continues until two years after the Borough Engineer approves final restoration.

The ordinance also describes annual security arrangements for public utilities and individual treatment for openings exceeding 200 square feet. Ask the Borough Manager or Engineer which provision and current form apply; the catalog option does not state an annual arrangement, fixed amount or term.

Complete the bond and permit steps

Obtain the borough’s required form, calculation, recipient and dates before using the listed purchase link. The ordinance requires permit security before permit issuance and lists insurance evidence separately.

Deliver the executed bond through the borough’s process and obtain the permit before nonemergency work begins. Coordinate restoration acceptance and release with the Borough Engineer rather than assuming paving completion ends the security.

Questions about this bond

Is an annual utility bond available for every contractor?

The ordinance’s annual provisions concern public utilities and involve borough discretion and project-size rules. Do not treat this listing as a universal annual contractor bond.

Does security end when excavation is finished?

The ordinary ordinance term extends to two years after Borough Engineer approval of final restoration. Confirm the actual condition and release requirements for your bond.

Does the bond replace the required insurance certificate?

No. Coraopolis lists insurance evidence separately from the permit bond.
