Questions about this bond
Does the bond let me open a recently paved Scituate road?
No. Engineering must determine the moratorium conditions and authorize the actual work. Security does not remove the road restriction.
Is two-year repair responsibility a displayed bond term?
No. The permit specifications address defects within two years after work completion. The option does not display a fixed term; confirm the required instrument and dates.
What should be available at the work site?
The selected application requires a copy of the permit and street-opening checklist with the operator or foreman. Follow the Town's additional work and notice conditions.
