About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the right-of-way bond covers

El Paso County's Department of Public Works issues work-in-the-right-of-way permits for digging, boring, excavating, paving, and placing utilities in a County right-of-way. It conditions those permits on a surety bond as proof of financial resources to restore and repair the affected right-of-way.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and El Paso County (the obligee). If you fail to restore the right-of-way to County standards, the County can recover against the bond up to its penal sum.

It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays the County on a valid claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right-of-way to the Engineering Criteria Manual treat the bond as a permit formality.

El Paso County — Department of Public WorksEl Paso County requires a surety bond as a condition of its work-in-the-right-of-way permits, administered by the Department of Public Works; the bond amount is set by the County and sized to the cost of restoring the affected right-of-way. Right-of-way standards are detailed in Chapter 5 of the County Engineering Criteria Manual (ECM) — confirm the required amount on your permit.
