What this bond does

Town of Scituate, Massachusetts street-opening security for the permitted public-way activity and required restoration.

Who needs it
The contractor applying to Scituate Engineering for the stated public-way work, with operator and any separate trench requirements identified.
Who it protects
The accepted bond concerns the Town's specified opening and restoration obligation. It is not permission to dig or a promise that every part of a private project will be completed.

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 opening and the road's status

Engineering's current page states a $10,000 street-opening bond. Its selected application asks for the permit address, opening dimensions, Dig Safe number, reason and applicant company. Describe the actual activity rather than treating a general contractor licence as permission to occupy or alter the street.

The application flags roads paved within the last five years for additional moratorium conditions. Have Engineering determine whether the location is affected. The current forms page also requires the operator's hoisting-licence copy with street-opening and trench applications; identify whether separate trench permission applies to your work.

Keep the permit dates and repair responsibility separate

Purchase Now opens Propeller. The option displays no fixed amount or term. Match the Town's required form, recipient, contractor, amount and dates with the issuer, arrange execution and accepted Town filing, and obtain the Engineering-approved permit. A bond purchase does not fill in the application's Town approval or its valid-until date.

The selected permit specifications make the permit user responsible for correcting defects occurring within two years after completion of the work when ordered by the Superintendent of Public Works. That work obligation does not state a supplied two-year bond term or automatic cancellation date.

The Town requires the permit and street-opening checklist to be available on site. Follow its utility-notice, public-protection, restoration and inspection directions; check the permitted excavation season with Engineering before scheduling the opening.

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.
