$275. Five minutes.
The City of Lafayette requires a $5,000 bond to pull a right-of-way permit and work in the public right of way. At 3% that would be $150, but our floor is $275 — the same minimum we charge on every small bond, no quote process.

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.
