What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually guarantees
The City of Lubbock controls its public right-of-way — the streets, sidewalks, and easements the city maintains. Before a contractor cuts pavement, bores under a road, or installs facilities in that right-of-way, the city requires a $50,000 surety bond.
The bond stands behind restoration of the right-of-way: if you damage city pavement or fail to backfill, repave, and restore your excavation to the city's standard, Lubbock can complete the work and recover its costs against the bond.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Lubbock (the obligee). If the city pays a claim, you repay the surety. We keep your $50,000 filing continuous with renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
