What it is and who needs it.
What the excavation bond actually covers
The City of Laredo conditions an excavation or right-of-way permit on a surety bond. It's a restoration guarantee: it stands behind your properly backfilling, repaving, and restoring any street, sidewalk, or other public property you disturb while excavating in the right-of-way.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Laredo (the obligee). If you cut into a City street and leave it unrestored or below standard, the City can repair it and recover its cost against the bond.
The City of Laredo sets the bond amount through its Public Works department and permit ordinance. Enter that figure and pricing starts from $100 — your price is 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

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 Laredo. Submit the executed bond with your excavation / right-of-way permit application. 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 $50,000. 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.
