Attleboro, MA Street Opening Bond
Overview
Contractors who need to cut into, excavate, or disturb a public street or sidewalk in Attleboro, Massachusetts must carry this bond before the city will issue a street opening permit. It guarantees the city that the work site will be properly restored and that Attleboro won't be left paying for repairs if the contractor fails to meet its obligations. Without this bond in place, the permit process stops — and so does your job.
Who Needs This Bond?
Utility contractors, plumbers, and telecommunications crews are among the most common applicants for this bond. Any contractor who has been issued or is applying for a street opening permit from the City of Attleboro needs this bond on file before work can legally begin. If your project requires breaking the surface of a public road, curb, or sidewalk within Attleboro city limits, this requirement applies to you.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the City of Attleboro by holding the contractor financially responsible for restoring disturbed pavement, curbing, and right-of-way surfaces to the city's standards after excavation work is complete. If the contractor fails to restore the site properly or abandons the work, the bond gives the city a financial remedy to cover the cost of repairs. It is not insurance for the contractor — it is a guarantee made to the city.
When is it Required?
Before Attleboro issues a street opening permit, the applicant must provide this executed bond to the city. That moment — when you submit your permit application — is when this bond is requested. You cannot receive approval to begin excavation or right-of-way work without it. Have this bond ready at the time of application to avoid delays in your project schedule.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is specific to the City of Attleboro, Massachusetts. It is a local requirement enforced by Attleboro's permitting authority, not a state-level license bond. Work in neighboring cities or towns will require separate bonds issued under those jurisdictions.
