What this bond does

Arrange the surety condition Harrisburg requests for the identified use of its public right-of-way.

Who needs it
Applicants or service providers with a City of Harrisburg request for right-of-way security.
Who it protects
The city receives the protection described in the required and executed bond. A right-of-way title does not establish which occupancy, facility or restoration duties the provider’s condition secures.

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 occupancy versus a street cut

Chapter 9-115 governs qualifying nonexempt service providers occupying or using city public ways beyond a transitory basis. It includes provider registration, facility responsibilities, insurance and bond provisions, with substantial service exemptions.

The City Engineer separately handles excavation, sidewalk and related right-of-way permits. Ask whether your request arises under the rights-of-way chapter, a street-cut permit or another authorization; the two catalog listings do not prove either equivalence or a required pair of bonds.

Use the applicable condition and amount

For a bond governed by Chapter 9-115, the chapter requires an endorsement preventing surety cancellation or nonrenewal until 60 days after the city receives the specified registered-mail notice. That is a notice condition, not a 60-day bond term.

This option states no fixed sum or term. Have the city confirm the required form, applicability, amount and dates rather than importing a utility street-cut amount into an occupancy request.

Complete the separate authorization steps

Compare the city’s request with the provider application before using the purchase link. Confirm the entity that must be principal and the precise city recipient.

After issuance, file the executed security and complete applicable registration or permit requirements. Bond issuance does not grant permission to occupy the right-of-way, excavate it or close a street.

Questions about this bond

Is this automatically the same as the Harrisburg Street Cutter Bond?

No equivalence is confirmed here. Compare the actual recipient, condition, amount and activity with the city’s request.

Does Chapter 9-115 apply to every utility or contractor?

No. It defines covered nonexempt services and lists exemptions. Ask the city which authorization and security apply to your operations.

Does the 60-day notice rule establish the bond’s duration?

No. It concerns surety cancellation or nonrenewal for bonds governed by that chapter, not the overall term of this offering.
