What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually covers
When you open, cut, bore, or excavate in the City of Montgomery's public right-of-way — for a utility connection, driveway approach, or street cut — the city issues a right-of-way permit and conditions it on a surety bond. The bond is a public-infrastructure guarantee: it stands behind you restoring the street, curb, and right-of-way to the city's standards.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Montgomery (the obligee), with the public as the protected party. If a permittee damages the right-of-way, leaves a defective restoration, or fails to backfill and repave properly, the city can recover against the bond.
Because the amount is set per permit by the scope of work, there is no single statutory figure — you enter whatever the City of Montgomery named on your permit, and we price the bond from $100 based on that amount, with no credit check up to $100,000 in the application.

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 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.
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 the City of Montgomery. Submit the executed bond with your right-of-way permit application to the City of Montgomery. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the office insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
