What this bond does

Provide the accepted bond security for the applicable City of Lower Burrell street-opening obligation.

Who needs it
Utilities, contractors and residents preparing Lower Burrell street-opening applications.
Who it protects
The opening applicant agrees to the city’s street-restoration provisions. The executed bond defines the surety protection for those obligations; it does not itself approve excavation.

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 applicant and opening

The application distinguishes utility company, contractor and resident openings. It requests the work location, purpose, line length and depth, number of openings, road surface and anticipated completion date.

Public Works’ guidance directs applicants to Pennsylvania One Call and asks for Street Department contact at least 24 hours before excavation. Coordinate those work requirements separately from bond issuance.

Resolve the amount with Public Works

The application revised in 2010 shows a bond line of $50 per foot. The city’s 2024 schedule instead lists 110% of estimated restoration cost for street openings.

Do not choose between those calculations yourself or treat either document as a fixed amount in this purchase option. Ask Public Works for the current calculation, estimate, accepted surety form and dates for your permit.

Issue the matching bond and finish the permit process

Once the city confirms its request, compare the principal, recipient, condition and sum with the provider’s application before continuing through the purchase link.

Provide the executed security through the city’s required process and obtain work authorization. The application calls for an inspection when restoration is complete; confirm how that inspection relates to release rather than assuming the security ends automatically.

Questions about this bond

Should I calculate the bond at $50 per foot or 110%?

Ask Public Works. Those figures appear in different published documents, and the current applicable calculation has not been confirmed here.

Does the option show a fixed amount or term?

No. Use the city’s confirmed amount and dates for the actual opening-security request.

Is restoration inspection included in buying the bond?

No. The application separately instructs the applicant to call for inspection when restoration is completed.
