How does a New York Traffic Signal Installation and Maintenance Bond work?

A  surety  bond  is  a  three-party  agreement.

Principal  –  Ticket reseller

Obligee  –  People of the State of New York

Surety  –  Surety bond provider

This  bond  is for the protection of the Obligee  in case the Principal  violates  any  of  his  or  her  bonded obligations (relevant laws as well as the rules and regulations of the New York State Department of Transportation).

If  the  Principal  fails  to  do  any  of  the  bonded obligations, the  Obligee  can  file  a  bond  claim.  The Surety will first investigate if the claim is valid before paying the Obligee. If it is, the Surety will settle the claim.  The Principal must then reimburse the Surety for the payments made.
