What this bond does

Arrange acceptable surety security for the applicable Penn Hills street-opening or right-of-way excavation request.

Who needs it
Applicants opening streets or disturbing other public right-of-way areas in the Municipality of Penn Hills.
Who it protects
The application’s security provisions concern proper restoration and the integrity of completed restoration. A purchased bond should not be assumed to replace every cash, credit or escrow requirement.

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.

Identify the applicant and restoration contractor

The municipal form distinguishes the applicant, person performing the work and pavement-restoration contractor. It covers street opening/excavation, curb cuts and driveways, sidewalk work and unimproved public right-of-way areas.

Describe the disturbed area, dimensions, street map and nearest address. The form differentiates road center, driving lane, curb/edge, sidewalk, driveway and other right-of-way restoration.

Confirm performance security and the later maintenance instrument

The application requires financial security before permit issuance and describes project security and a $10,000 security arrangement, with larger amounts possible for unusual magnitude. Have the municipality confirm the amount and acceptable surety condition for your work.

Before performance security is released, the form calls for maintenance security equal to 50% of performance security for two years after acknowledged completion. Its listed maintenance instruments are certified check, irrevocable letter of credit or escrow account. Do not assume this surety offering satisfies that later requirement.

Complete the permit and acceptance process

Have the provider compare the municipality’s requested condition, principal, recipient, sum and dates before you use the existing purchase link. The option states no fixed amount or term.

After issuance, submit the executed bond as directed and meet separate insurance and permit requirements. Final inspection and restoration acceptance remain with the municipality; neither purchase nor visible completion automatically releases security.

Questions about this bond

Does this bond automatically cover the maintenance-security stage?

No. The form lists certified check, letter of credit and escrow for that stage. Ask the municipality which instrument it will accept.

Does the two-year maintenance period begin when I purchase?

The form relates it to acknowledged completion of work, not purchase. Confirm the actual dates and instrument.

Is the applicant necessarily the pavement-restoration contractor?

The form provides separate fields for those parties. Identify each responsible entity and confirm the bond principal.
