What this bond does

Provide the bond form of Homestead Borough’s street-opening performance guarantee for the applicable work.

Who needs it
Applicants and contractors planning work that disturbs a Homestead right-of-way, road surface, curb or sidewalk.
Who it protects
The application makes the applicant responsible for opening-related damage and restoration. The executed bond secures the duties described in its accepted condition, rather than every obligation on the larger construction project.

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.

Describe the opening and affected surfaces

The borough application separates applicant and contractor information. It asks whether work is within the Homestead right-of-way, what surfaces will be disturbed and which streets and cross streets are involved.

Identify the pavement type, paved and unpaved excavation dimensions, reason for work and any core drillings. The form requests a site plan and profile of the work area.

Check the guarantee already on file

The form lists a $10,000 bond if one is not currently on file, and its office section asks whether a $10,000 performance guarantee has been provided. Ask Homestead whether an existing instrument covers this applicant and work before ordering another.

The listed purchase option does not supply a fixed amount or term. Confirm the accepted surety form, sum, dates and any continuing coverage directly with the borough.

Separate the bond from work and inspection approval

Use the purchase link after the provider’s condition matches the borough request. Then deliver the executed security through the borough’s required process and obtain the street-opening permit.

The application requires at least 24 hours’ notice to Public Works before work starts and prohibits backfilling before borough inspection and approval. Bond issuance does not waive those steps; ask separately about final restoration acceptance and release.

Questions about this bond

Must I order another bond if Homestead already has one?

Ask the borough to confirm whether the existing guarantee covers the applicant and this work. The application specifically recognizes a bond currently on file.

Is the performance guarantee a general construction payment bond?

The cited form concerns street-opening damage and restoration. Do not assume it secures payment to all project subcontractors or suppliers.

Can I backfill immediately after the bond is issued?

No. The application requires borough inspection and approval before trenches are backfilled.
