What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually covers
The City of Brenham controls its public right-of-way — the streets, sidewalks, and easements the city maintains. Before a contractor cuts pavement, bores under a road, or installs facilities in that right-of-way, the city requires a permit and a surety bond.
The bond stands behind restoration of the right-of-way: if you damage city pavement or fail to backfill, repave, and restore your excavation to the city's standard, Brenham can complete the work and recover its costs against the bond. This filing is the corporation version of the bond.
It is a three-party arrangement: your corporation (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Brenham (the obligee). If the city pays a claim, the corporation repays the surety. We issue the amount the city requires at 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum.

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 Brenham. Submit the executed bond with your right-of-way permit application to the City of Brenham. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
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 $100,000. 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.
