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.
