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.

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 $5,000 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 Municipal Development. 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.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
