What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Lafayette requires a permit — and a $5,000 bond — before anyone cuts, excavates, or builds in the public right of way. The bond is the City's guarantee that you restore the right of way and follow the City's standards after your work.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Lafayette (the obligee). If a contractor damages the right of way and doesn't repair it, or violates the City's permit conditions, the City can recover its costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right of way treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $5,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
