Questions about this bond
Is security limited to cutting the pavement?
The packet includes excavation outside the actual street but within Town ROW. Give DPW the full work limits.
Does the one-year recency check establish a one-year bond term?
No. The application checks when an existing bond was issued. This offering displays no fixed term, and patch-maintenance duties are separate.
Does the stated $3,000 cover every opening?
The policy allows a larger bond depending on the work. Obtain DPW's actual decision and accepted current form.
