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.
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.
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.
File with the City of Alvin. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Alvin paving contractor registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
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.
