What it is and who needs it.
What the performance and maintenance bond covers
When a developer or contractor builds public improvements for the City of Irving, TX — streets, water and sewer mains, drainage, sidewalks — the city requires a bond guaranteeing two things: that the work is completed per the approved plans and city standards (performance), and that it stays sound through a warranty period after the city accepts it (maintenance).
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Irving (the obligee). If you fail to complete the improvements, or defects show up during the maintenance period and you do not fix them, the city can recover its cost against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. The city sets the bond amount from your contract value, typically 100% for performance with a maintenance term running one to two years past acceptance. Pricing is 2% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum, confirmed by a soft credit pull that never affects your score.

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
E-sign & file with the City of Irving. Pay online and receive the executed performance and maintenance bond, ready to file with the city for your public-improvement contract. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the city insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
