About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Oklahoma City prequalifies the contractors who install and repair public water mains, and conditions Class "D" water pipeline prequalification on a $25,000 surety bond filed with its Public Works Department. The bond is a compliance-and-performance guarantee standing behind your work in the City's water system and rights-of-way.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Oklahoma City (the obligee). If you damage City infrastructure, fail to restore a right-of-way, or otherwise violate the terms of your prequalification, the City can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who follow the City's water standards and restore their work sites treat the bond as a prequalification formality, not a risk.

City of Oklahoma City — Public Works (Class "D" prequalification)The City of Oklahoma City requires this $25,000 bond as a condition of prequalifying as a Class "D" water pipeline contractor; the bond amount and form are set by the City's Public Works Department through its contractor prequalification process. Confirm current requirements with OKC Public Works prequalification (prequal@okc.gov).

FAQs

Common questions.

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

Do I pay the $25,000? +
No. You pay $750 — the flat 3% of the bond amount. The $25,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the City; it's not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who requires this bond? +
The City of Oklahoma City requires it to prequalify as a Class "D" water pipeline contractor through its Public Works Department. No active bond, no prequalification.
How fast will I have the bond? +
Most clear within 1–2 business days, and an underwriter reaches out within 48 hours if anything else is needed. The soft credit pull is the only step beyond the application.
Is there a credit check? +
Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It informs approval, not price. The rate is a flat 3% either way: credit can affect whether we approve the bond, never what it costs.
When does it renew? +
Terms run 1, 2, or 3 years — your choice at purchase. We send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, and the bond must stay active for your OKC prequalification to stay valid.
