Oakmont, PA Street Opening Permit Bond
Overview
Oakmont, PA requires contractors to post a Street Opening Permit Bond before cutting, excavating, or otherwise disturbing any public street or right-of-way within the borough. This bond guarantees that the permitted work will be completed properly and that the street will be restored to its original condition. If the contractor fails to restore the pavement or causes damage to the public roadway, the bond provides Oakmont with the financial backing to make it right.
Who Needs This Bond?
You've been told you need this bond because you're applying for a street opening permit from the Borough of Oakmont. Utility contractors, plumbers, telecommunications installers, and general contractors who need to dig into or cut across Oakmont's public streets all face this requirement. Any company or individual pulling a street opening permit in Oakmont must secure this bond before the borough will issue authorization to proceed.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the Borough of Oakmont and its residents from the cost of unfinished or improperly restored street work. As the principal, you are legally obligated to restore the roadway to borough standards once your permitted work is complete. The bond holds you accountable and gives Oakmont recourse if you walk away from the job or leave the street in worse condition than you found it.
When is it Required?
Before a single shovel hits the pavement, your Street Opening Permit Bond must already be on file with Oakmont borough officials. The permit will not be issued until the bond is submitted and accepted. Showing up at the job site without an active bond in place means your permit is not valid and work cannot legally begin.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies exclusively within the Borough of Oakmont, Pennsylvania — it is a local borough requirement, not a Pennsylvania state license obligation. It covers any public street, alley, or right-of-way under Oakmont's jurisdiction. Work performed outside Oakmont borough limits would require a separate bond from the applicable jurisdiction.
