What this bond does
Security required for the actual Sandwich street, sidewalk or public-way construction/restoration obligation, with the current accepted instrument confirmed.
- Who needs it
- The legal applicant required by the City, coordinated with the property owner and contractor or utility company identified in the work request.
- Who it protects
- The actual City bond defines the secured duties. The posted ROW application calls for warranty/maintenance security; do not assume an older construction-work label establishes identical form or coverage.

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 the older commercial checklist prove every bond is $10,000?
No. The posted 2024 ROW application distinguishes work categories and lists $25,000 for commercial excavation/restoration, with the City Engineer deciding the accepted type and amount. Confirm the actual request.
Is the $1,000 deposit the same as the surety bond?
No. The 2024 application lists a separate cash/check deposit and warranty/maintenance security. Obtain the actual deposit and bond instructions, including any release conditions.
Can I rely on the older five-working-day review statement?
The posted 2024 ROW application asks applicants to allow at least two weeks for processing. Plan for actual City approval rather than treating either document as a guaranteed authorization date.
