What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A street-cut bond is a restoration guarantee. When you open the City of Lafayette right-of-way to cut a street or excavate, the city wants assurance the pavement, curb, and surface are restored to its standard once the work is done.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Lafayette (the obligee). If you leave the cut unrestored or the patch fails and you don't fix it, the city can recover the repair cost against the bond.
The city sets $10,000 for right-of-way permits involving street cuts, excavations, or oversize vehicles. The bond must be on file before the permit is issued, so we keep it current and notify you 60 and 30 days out.

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 $10,000 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.
How to file it
File with the City of Lafayette. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the City of Lafayette engineering / right-of-way office with your permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
