Millbury, MA — Street Opening Bond

Ask Millbury DPW which security method applies before buying this street-opening bond. Its current linked application has surety fields, but the separately posted excavation rules specify certified-bank-check deposits with different driveway and excavation retention periods. A bond purchase is not proof that the Town's deposit requirement has been met.

What this bond does

Security for the actual Town of Millbury, Massachusetts street-opening request, with a surety instrument distinguished from the published cash/check deposit.

Who needs it
The required permit applicant and performing contractor, with the owner and actual driveway, utility or other opening identified separately.
Who it protects
The accepted security concerns the identified Town work, restoration and correction duties. It is not interchangeable with a bank-check deposit unless DPW accepts that method for the request.

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.

Resolve the security method with DPW

The currently linked 2024 street-opening application records owner/contractor, location, work type, dates, Dig Safe, surety name, bond amount/expiry and DPW waiver/approval fields. Those fields do not establish that every applicant may replace another required deposit with any surety bond.

The separately posted Excavation Rules and Specifications require a $2,000 certified-bank-check deposit for driveway permits and/or $5,000 for excavation permits. They describe two-year driveway and five-year excavation deposit retention, with a written return request and satisfactory work. Have DPW identify the current method, amount and retention for this particular opening before treating a surety purchase as compliance.

Confirm permission and the applicable closeout dates

Purchase Now opens Propeller; the option displays no fixed amount or term. Supply DPW's accepted bond request/form, actual Town recipient/principal, amount, coverage and dates to the issuer only after confirming the required security method. Arrange execution and accepted filing separately from the Town's permit review.

The application describes a 60-day permit and a one-year restoration warranty. The posted rules' deposit-retention periods are separate; none supplies this option's term or proves a refund is due after one year. Obtain the applicable work window, warranty start, retention and release instructions rather than combining the documents into an invented deadline.

Submit the actual site plan/work details and required approvals, and coordinate DPW notices before starting, backfilling, paving and completion. Use DPW's current contact/delivery instructions: the linked application and current department page print different addresses. Preserve inspection and satisfactory-completion records for the security actually assigned.

Questions about this bond

Can a surety bond automatically replace the certified-check deposit?

The posted rules specify certified checks, while the application has surety and waiver fields. Obtain DPW's confirmation of the actual accepted method before buying on that assumption.

Does the one-year warranty mean security returns after a year?

No. The linked application describes a warranty, while the posted deposit rules describe two-year driveway and five-year excavation retention plus a return request and satisfactory work. Confirm the current conditions for your request.

Is the 60-day permit the bond term?

No. The option states no fixed term. Work permission, warranty, deposit retention and any issued surety coverage have distinct dates.
