What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually covers
The City of Bastrop controls work in its public right-of-way — streets, sidewalks, alleys, and easements — through a right-of-way permit. When a contractor or utility cuts, bores, or excavates in the ROW, the City conditions the permit on a surety bond guaranteeing the work and the restoration.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Bastrop (the obligee). If you leave a street cut unrestored, damage city infrastructure, or violate the permit conditions, the City can recover against the bond to make the right-of-way whole.
The City sets the penal sum based on your scope. Whatever amount appears on your permit, the bond costs 1% of that amount, with a $100 minimum — and if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

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 Bastrop. Submit the executed bond with your right-of-way permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the City insists on them.
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 $50,000. 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.
