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.
