After review by the Building Inspector and the Sterling Department of Public Works (DPW) a suitable bond may be required from any person prior to development of any lot where access is provided from a public way, to repair or replace any portion of the Town roadway, other infrastructure or other Town-owned amenities within the roadway right-of-way, which may be damaged during the course of said development by said person or his/her agent(s). The value of the bond will generally be $5,000, more or less, depending on the project, as determined by the DPW. After completion of the project, the bond will be accessed by the DPW to recover all expenses incurred by the Town to correct the damage, should any have occurred, if they are not recovered after billing the person owning the lot in question.
