About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Concrete work in the Albuquerque right-of-way — sidewalk, curb, gutter, and drive-pad — has to meet city specs and last. The City of Albuquerque, through its Department of Municipal Development, requires a $5,000 contractor bond on its approved form before it issues the permit, guaranteeing your concrete work and the restoration of the site.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Albuquerque (the obligee). If your sidewalk, curb, gutter, or drive-pad fails to meet city standards, or you leave the area unrestored, the city can recover its cost against the bond.

It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. This $5,000 concrete bond is separate from the $10,000 excavation bond the city requires for digging in the right-of-way — many contractors carry both.

City of Albuquerque — Municipal Development (right-of-way construction permits)The City of Albuquerque requires a $5,000 contractor's sidewalk, curb, gutter, and drive-pad bond, on the city's approved form, for concrete work in the public right-of-way; it is administered by the Department of Municipal Development as part of its construction / right-of-way permit process and is separate from the $10,000 excavation bond. The bond amount is set by the city; we issue it on the city-approved form.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Albuquerque sidewalk, curb and gutter bond? +
The premium is $275. A flat 3% of the $5,000 bond is $150, which is below our $275 minimum, so the minimum applies — the same for every contractor. There is no quote process.
Do I pay the $5,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the city if a valid claim is made — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Is this the same as the excavation bond? +
No. This $5,000 bond covers concrete work — sidewalk, curb, gutter, drive-pad. The City of Albuquerque requires a separate $10,000 excavation bond for digging in the right-of-way. Many contractors carry both; we write both.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount permit bonds like this one don't need one.
How fast will I have the bond? +
Permit bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many contractors finish the application and have the bond the same day. At most, 1–2 business days.
