What this bond does
Provide the security the City requests for a road-opening permit, with the applicant and work identified on the City's accepted form. Sewer repairs, lateral connections, utility work, and boring can involve the combined application, but the bond checklist specifically distinguishes road openings.
- Who needs it
- Contractors, property owners, utility companies, and other applicants seeking a City of Passaic road-opening approval. This City requirement should not be substituted for a Passaic County road permit.
- Who it protects
- The security relates to the approved opening and its restoration obligations. The City's packet separately requires liability insurance and a hold-harmless commitment; the surety bond does not replace those documents or authorize construction.

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.

Questions about this bond
Does every road-access application require this $1,000 bond?
The combined packet labels that bond requirement “For Road Opening Permit Only.” Have Engineering classify the work rather than applying it automatically to all uses of the form.
When does the City's two-year maintenance responsibility begin?
The statement of understanding starts that responsibility when the Passaic Division of Engineering accepts the final restoration. Confirm the required bond dates separately.
Can I start after the surety issues the bond?
No. The City's packet requires permit review, approval, and issuance before work, along with utility mark-outs and the required traffic-control coordination. Bond issuance is only part of preparation.
