Use the performing contractor and actual work scope

Engineering says the contractor performing the work must apply because bonding and insurance requirements attach to that applicant. The public way includes shoulders, curbs, sidewalks and the driveway apron between private property and the traveled way. Work on that apron may need a permit even when the rest of the driveway is private.

Section 401 requires an accepted bond before permit issuance, with a $10,000 minimum that the Town Engineer may increase. The Engineer may accept one bond for multiple excavations if the work value is adequately secured; do not assume unlimited openings are covered by one minimum bond. A bank-passbook alternative requires the separate Town process described in the policy.

Keep the full repair period separate from the work season

The policy requires bond coverage for one full year from completion of the work and says the Town will not accept cancellation notices before that responsibility period expires. Confirm the accepted instrument's dates and continuing coverage with the Town and issuer; this is not a displayed one-year term starting at checkout.

Purchase Now opens Propeller. The option displays no fixed amount or term. Match the Town's form, contractor/recipient, assigned sum and coverage with the issuer, arrange execution and accepted Engineering filing, and obtain the signed permit.

Engineering's current routine-season notice says November 15 closure and April 1 reopening, weather permitting. Use that current notice and the actual permit when scheduling, rather than assuming the policy's outer seasonal dates guarantee issuance. Coordinate any required utility-location approval, separate trench permission and inspections; finishing the season does not end the completion-based bond responsibility.
