What this bond does

Provide the acceptable surety bond for restoration of work authorized by a Mt. Lebanon street-opening permit.

Who needs it
Applicants excavating within Mt. Lebanon’s municipal right-of-way, including utilities and applicants anticipating multiple permits.
Who it protects
The restoration bond protects the municipality against failure to perform the authorized work under its accepted condition. It is separate from the applicant’s liability-insurance evidence and the opening permit.

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.

Distinguish excavation from sidewalk replacement

The municipality says excavation within its right-of-way requires a street-opening permit, including affected yard, street, curb and sidewalk areas. Its instructions distinguish that work from replacement of existing sidewalk slabs without excavation.

Ask which process applies to your exact scope. Sidewalk framing inspection and the full-slab requirement do not mean every sidewalk-only repair uses the same opening-bond arrangement.

Use the approved amount and inspection condition

The published restoration-bond provision states $2,000 or the amount on the approved permit. It describes a term beginning when the bond is posted and ending when the permittee receives the municipality’s Certificate of Final Inspection.

That is not a fixed one-year term. The purchase option supplies no amount or term, so obtain the actual required wording, sum and dates before issuance.

Confirm continuing or utility security separately

An applicant expecting more than one permit per year may furnish a continuing corporate surety bond in an amount the manager determines from anticipated restoration. The municipality may accept a public utility’s corporate bond in a form satisfactory to its attorney instead.

Confirm which instrument is requested before using the purchase link. After issuance, provide the executed bond and separate insurance evidence through the municipal process, obtain work authorization and coordinate final inspection and release.

Questions about this bond

Is $2,000 always the required bond amount?

The published provision also allows the amount specified on the approved permit, and continuing arrangements use a manager-determined amount. Obtain the amount for your request.

Does the bond automatically expire a year after issuance?

The cited ordinary provision ties termination to receipt of a Certificate of Final Inspection, not an assumed one-year purchase term.

Does the bond replace the insurance certificate?

No. Mt. Lebanon lists liability-insurance evidence separately from street-opening security.
