What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
This paving, excavation, and monitoring well bond is a right-of-way and environmental restoration guarantee the City of El Paso holds for larger or specialized work — including installing and abandoning groundwater monitoring wells in the public way. It stands behind your obligation to restore pavement and the right-of-way to City standards and to follow El Paso's excavation and well permit rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of El Paso (the obligee), with the public as the protected party. If you leave a cut unrestored, damage public infrastructure, or fail to properly abandon a well, the City can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The $50,000 amount reflects the larger scope of this work; contractors who restore and pass inspection treat the bond as a registration formality.

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 $50,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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 El Paso. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your right-of-way registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $500 at the $50,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
