What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Excavation work in the City of Kerrville disturbs soil, utilities, and the public way. The city conditions an excavation contractor registration on a $5,000 surety bond as a financial backstop that you dig safely, locate utilities, and restore the site to city standards.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Kerrville (the obligee). If you violate the city's excavation ordinances or leave a site unrestored, the city or a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who excavate safely and restore the site 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 $5,000 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.
