What this bond does

Provide accepted surety security for North Huntingdon Township road-opening or occupancy obligations.

Who needs it
Utility providers, adjoining property owners and authorized agents applying for excavation or occupancy of township roads.
Who it protects
The township code distinguishes faithful performance and opening-related liabilities from maintenance after completion. The required and executed condition determines the surety protection.

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.

Define township-road work and the applicant

The code covers openings, excavation and occupancy of township roads and rights-of-way for utility lines, connections, poles and other work. It identifies utility providers, adjoining owners or authorized agents as eligible permittees.

The application asks for the street or nearest intersection, asphalt versus berm, opening dimensions, dates and any traffic-lane interference. Provide the accompanying sketch and identify the actual permit applicant.

Separate permit performance from maintenance

Section 480-27 requires pre-permit bonding in the amount determined by the applicable schedule. It separately describes a 24-month maintenance bond of $5,000 or 15% of restoration costs; ask the township which calculation and instrument apply.

The application leaves the required amount for township staff and checks whether a bond is already on file. Obtain the current approved amount and condition rather than assuming this unspecified option covers both requirements.

Confirm multiple-permit coverage and filing

Frequent applicants may request a township-approved bond covering their permits, with the amount determined and potentially increased by the township. Multiple openings ordinarily still require separate permits, subject to the code’s comprehensive-project exception.

Match the requested form, principal, recipient, amount and dates before using the purchase link. After issuance, file the executed security, obtain permit approval and arrange required inspections; a bond does not authorize excavation or automatically release maintenance responsibility.

Questions about this bond

Does one street-opening bond automatically satisfy maintenance security?

The code describes performance and maintenance separately. Ask the township whether the requested instrument satisfies one or both.

Can frequent applicants use one bond?

They may request an approved all-permits arrangement in a township-determined amount. Do not assume this option already provides it.

Does a continuing bond replace individual opening permits?

No automatic exemption follows. The code ordinarily requires separate permits, while allowing a comprehensive permit for an approved major township-wide project.
