What this bond does

Provide an accepted surety bond for the City of New Kensington street-opening permit request.

Who needs it
Applicants planning excavation or a street cut within the City of New Kensington.
Who it protects
The accepted bond condition determines the city’s protection for permitted opening and restoration work. The brief application alone does not establish a general contractor-license or payment-bond obligation.

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.

Describe the cut the city will review

The city’s published street-opening application requests the applicant name, work purpose and location, affected street, street character and One Call serial number.

It also asks for actual excavation width, length, square yards and anticipated completion. Use those details to identify the work rather than selecting a bond only from the contractor’s trade.

Check existing yearly bonding

The form states a $1,000 minimum unless yearly bonded. Ask the city whether an existing annual instrument covers your legal entity and opening, and whether the current required amount differs.

The form is hosted on the city’s older website, while its newer site describes a website transition. Current acceptance of that form and the required surety wording need confirmation. This purchase option does not specify an amount or term.

Match the city request before purchase

Obtain the current condition, recipient name, sum and effective dates. Have the provider compare them with the offered instrument before using the existing purchase destination.

After issuance, submit the executed bond through the city’s instructions and complete the permit application. Bond issuance does not grant permission to cut the street or establish when restoration security will be released.

Questions about this bond

Should I buy another bond if I am yearly bonded?

First ask New Kensington whether the existing instrument covers the applicant and this work. The published form expressly recognizes yearly bonding.

Is $1,000 confirmed as the amount for every opening today?

No. The older published form calls it a minimum, not a universal amount. Confirm current city requirements.

Does yearly bonding eliminate street-opening permits?

The form’s bonding exception does not establish a permit exemption. Complete the city’s opening-permit process.
