Medford Lakes, NJ Street Opening Permit Bond
Overview
Contractors and utility companies working in Medford Lakes, New Jersey need this bond before they can open, cut, or disturb any borough street or right-of-way. Medford Lakes requires it as a condition of issuing a Street Opening Permit, ensuring that whoever tears up the pavement is financially accountable for restoring it properly. If the work is left incomplete or the road surface is not restored to borough standards, the bond gives Medford Lakes a financial remedy without burdening taxpayers.
Who Needs This Bond?
You've been told you need a Street Opening Permit from Medford Lakes before your crew can touch the road. Any contractor, utility provider, or excavating company that needs to cut pavement, dig a trench, or disturb a public right-of-way within Medford Lakes borough limits must carry this bond. It applies whether the work is for new service connections, repairs, or infrastructure installation. If Medford Lakes issued you a permit application and listed a surety bond as a requirement, this is the bond you need.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects Medford Lakes and its residents from costs that arise when a contractor fails to restore a street opening to the required condition. You, as the principal, are bound to complete the restoration work according to borough specifications. If you don't, Medford Lakes can make a claim against the bond to cover repair or remediation costs. It is not a payment bond for your subcontractors — it is a performance guarantee specifically tied to street and right-of-way restoration.
When is it Required?
Before any work begins, the bond must be in place and submitted with your Street Opening Permit application to Medford Lakes. The borough will not issue the permit until they have the bond in hand. Do not schedule your crew, rent equipment, or contact utilities for locates until you have this bond secured and filed.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is specifically required by the Borough of Medford Lakes, New Jersey. It covers work performed within Medford Lakes' public streets, roads, and rights-of-way only — it does not satisfy requirements in any other New Jersey municipality or county. If you are working in multiple jurisdictions, each municipality will require its own separate bond.
