Questions about this bond
Is security required for every opening regardless of length?
The cited ordinance’s escrow/bond provision applies to openings exceeding 10 longitudinal feet. Confirm the requirements for the actual opening; permit duties are separate.
Can I assume the contractor is the permit applicant?
The current ordinance identifies public-utility service providers or adjoining owners as permittees. Ask the borough to confirm the applicant and bond principal.
Does the three-year maintenance duty mean this is a three-year bond?
Not necessarily. Obtain the actual bond condition and dates. The option does not state a fixed term.
