What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Hauling heavy or oversize loads over Manvel's streets concentrates enormous weight on pavement, bridges, and culverts not built for it — so the City conditions a heavy loads permit on a $100,000 surety bond. The bond is a public-infrastructure guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the permit terms and the repair of any damage your loads cause to City roads.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Manvel (the obligee). If an overweight move damages a street, bridge, or culvert and you don't make it right, the City can recover the repair cost against the bond — which is why the penal sum is large.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Route and load within your permit and restore anything you damage, and the bond is just a permit 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 $100,000 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
