Questions about this bond
Is the required surety sum always $5,000?
No. Ordinary work above $5,000 uses estimated cost; public utilities have a separate $3,000 provision. Confirm the applicable rule with Public Works.
Must an eligible resident performing a small repair buy this bond?
The reviewed rule specifies cash escrow for the particular resident-owned, resident-performed Section 278-19 work of $5,000 or less. Have the municipality confirm eligibility before purchasing surety security.
Is this security for selling goods on a sidewalk?
No. This offering concerns sidewalk-opening/work security. A sidewalk-sale permit is a different activity.
