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.
