What this bond does

Arrange the Borough-accepted alternative to the street maintenance deposit for the identified opening. This concerns Medford Lakes Borough, not a Medford Township permit.

Who needs it
A contractor, homeowner or authorized representative arranging street work in Medford Lakes. The combined plumbing and street-opening form identifies the owner, site, contractor and bonding company.
Who it protects
The accepted bond supports the maintenance obligation associated with the street opening. It does not replace the approved traffic plan, required insurance, backfill inspections or the Borough's permission to open the street.

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.

Use twice the assigned deposit for the bond alternative

The final checklist in the posted Plumbing & Street Opening Permit Application distinguishes a street maintenance deposit in certified funds from a “Bond in Lieu of Maintenance Deposit (two-times the amount of deposit).” Do not enter the deposit amount as the bond amount without applying the Borough's instruction.

The application records the trail surface class and site details. Have the Borough assign the applicable deposit and confirm the accepted bond form, applicant and required security before proceeding. Do not select another municipality's deposit schedule because the locality names are similar.

Prepare the combined application and traffic approval

The form covers work such as sewer replacement, gas main or service installation, renewal and emergency repair. It requests the opening location, block and lot, owner, contractor, license information, proposed dates, insurance company and bonding company.

Its checklist requires the completed and approved opening application, a Police-approved traffic-control plan, and liability insurance including workers' compensation coverage. A detailed drawing of the opening location and dimensions is part of Police approval.

The posted procedure requires Wastewater and Public Works notice 24 hours before work and inspections associated with flowable fill and final paving. The homeowner or agent is responsible for arranging final inspection when the job is complete. These steps remain necessary after the bond is issued.

Submit the issued security and retain the maintenance conditions

Purchase Now opens the existing Propeller Medford Lakes offering. Match the Borough's accepted document, assigned deposit-based bond amount, responsible applicant and site before proceeding.

Deliver the issued bond with the permit materials as the Borough directs and obtain the work authorization. Ask for the maintenance period, inspection acceptance and release procedure in writing; neither the application dates nor this option establish a fixed bond term.

Questions about this bond

Can a bond replace the street maintenance deposit?

The posted Borough checklist expressly provides a bond alternative at twice the maintenance deposit. Confirm the assigned deposit and accepted surety document for your opening.

Should I order the bond for the same amount as the deposit?

Not on that assumption. The checklist says twice the deposit amount for the bond alternative. Obtain the Borough's approved calculation before proceeding.

Does the bond replace Police approval of traffic control?

No. The application separately calls for a Police-approved traffic-control plan and a detailed opening drawing.

Is a fixed maintenance term published for this option?

No. Obtain the Borough's written maintenance, inspection and release conditions; the posted application and retained option do not establish a universal term.
