What this bond does

Provide an accepted Pittsburgh street-opening bond for the approved water/sewer blanket arrangement.

Who needs it
Water and sewer contractors seeking approved continuing street-opening security in the City of Pittsburgh.
Who it protects
The accepted bond condition governs protection for covered opening and restoration obligations. The blanket label does not establish every utility approval, every project or a fixed amount.

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.

Get annual security approved

DOMI’s May 2026 opening guide requires a bond in an amount based on the work unless the contractor requests and receives approval to maintain annual bonding.

This offering’s water/sewer blanket condition and the city’s current approved arrangement must be compared before purchase. Confirm the recipient, covered applicant, activities, amount and dates; the option does not supply a sum or term.

Apply for the actual openings

The city distinguishes the applicant from the contractor, who must be registered through OneStopPGH and maintain valid bond and insurance. Provide opening purpose, exact location, lengths, widths and work dates.

Multiple openings may share an application when work dates and traffic control match, with a submitted plan. That is a permit-application rule, not proof that any blanket bond covers every opening or replaces water/sewer approvals.

Follow opening and restoration closeout

Use the purchase destination after the provider has matched the requested condition. Submit the executed bond and required separate insurance through the city’s process and obtain authorization before excavation.

The guide describes opening inspections followed by restoration approval and final inspection. Completing the underground installation is not the same as completing restoration, closing the permit or obtaining bond discharge.

Questions about this bond

Does the blanket label let me open streets without permits?

No. Annual security and authorization for the actual openings are separate.

Can several openings be on one application?

The current guide allows it when dates and traffic control match and the required plan is submitted. The city still reviews and approves the application.

Is the existing water/sewer form confirmed as today’s annual DOMI instrument?

That exact condition match remains to be confirmed with DOMI and the provider before purchase.
