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.

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 $50,000 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.
How to file it

What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $500 at the $50,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
