About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Alvin, TX requires paving contractors to register and post a $5,000 bond. Paving work ties directly into city streets, curbs, and drainage, so the bond is a workmanship-and-restoration guarantee: it stands behind paving done to city specifications and the repair of any city infrastructure you disturb.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Alvin (the obligee), with the city and the public protected. If paving fails to meet city specs, or you damage a curb, gutter, or street and do not fix it, the city can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Paving contractors who finish to spec treat the $5,000 bond as a registration formality, not a risk. We issue it for $100 flat, with no credit check on the application.

After you buy

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 bond runs to January 1 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.

Renewal falls on the statutory date, January 1, in the year your term ends.

Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
