To do concrete work — sidewalk, curb, gutter, or drive-pad — in the Albuquerque right-of-way, the city requires a $5,000 contractor bond on its approved form. A flat 3% of $5,000 is $150, so the $275 minimum applies — your price is $275 flat. Five-minute application, no credit check on this bond.
















Your concrete-work permit is waiting on this bond. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials and no credit check section for this bond.
Permit bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email on the city-approved form, ready to file with your Albuquerque sidewalk/curb/gutter and drive-pad permit. Wet-ink original mailed whenever the office insists.
$5,000 bond × 3% = $150, which is under our $275 minimum — so the price is $275 flat, one-time per term. Multi-year if you want it.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
