Sandwich, MA Street Permit Bond
Overview
Doing street work in Sandwich, MA? Before you break ground on any public way, the town requires a Street Permit Bond. This bond guarantees that you'll complete the permitted work properly and restore the road, sidewalk, or right-of-way to its original condition. If you fail to do so, the bond gives Sandwich the financial backing to make it right.
Who Needs This Bond?
Utility contractors, excavation companies, and telecommunications crews are the most common applicants for this bond. Anyone who has applied for or received a street opening or encroachment permit from the Town of Sandwich needs this bond in place before work begins. It covers both one-time projects and contractors who regularly perform work in Sandwich's public ways.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the Town of Sandwich and its residents from the cost of poor workmanship or unfinished restoration after permitted street work. If a contractor cuts into a road, installs a utility line, or disrupts a public sidewalk and fails to restore it correctly, the bond funds the repair. It holds the contractor financially accountable to the town's public works standards.
When is it Required?
When you submit your street opening permit application to the Town of Sandwich, the bond is typically required as part of the approval package. The town will not issue the permit until the bond is on file. That means you need this bond secured before your crew mobilizes — not after.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is specific to work performed in Sandwich, Massachusetts public rights-of-way, including town roads, sidewalks, and other public ways under the town's jurisdiction. It is a local Sandwich requirement and is not a state-issued license bond. Work in other Massachusetts municipalities requires separate bonding from those jurisdictions.
