What this bond does

Provide the accepted Performance Maintenance Bond accompanying a Borough of Thornburg road-opening application.

Who needs it
Contractors applying to open a street within Thornburg Borough.
Who it protects
The required bond condition governs performance and maintenance protection for the opening. The applicant’s separate agreement to indemnify the borough does not establish that every construction-contract obligation is bonded.

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.

Prepare the contractor’s opening description

The borough form requests contractor information, starting and completion dates, street name and numbers of abutting properties. It also asks for the opening’s purpose, width, depth, length and a location drawing.

Use the road and adjoining-property details to match the requested security. A Pittsburgh-area mailing address alone does not identify a City of Pittsburgh opening obligation.

Get the amount and expiration from the borough

The application labels its security field Performance Maintenance Bond and leaves the amount and expiration blank. Neither that form nor this option supplies a universal sum or fixed term.

Ask for the borough’s accepted condition and confirm how the principal, work, amount and dates must appear. Do not turn the application’s planned completion date into an assumed bond-release date.

Complete plan approval and filing

Compare the borough request with the provider application before continuing through the existing purchase destination. Obtain the properly executed bond and submit it according to borough instructions.

The form has separate plan-approval fields for the Borough Engineer and Public Works Foreman, plus restoration and inspection entries. Purchase does not approve the plan, authorize the opening or establish final acceptance.

Sources

Questions about this bond
