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.
