About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Mesquite conditions work in the public right-of-way — sidewalks, curbs, gutters, and driveway approaches — on a $2,000 surety bond. It is a public-infrastructure guarantee that your concrete flatwork meets the City's standards and that you restore the right-of-way properly.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Mesquite (the obligee). If your flatwork is defective or you damage adjacent public improvements, the City can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pour to spec and restore the right-of-way treat the bond as a routine permit formality.

City of Mesquite right-of-way / flatwork permitThe City of Mesquite requires this $2,000 bond as a condition of constructing sidewalks, curbs, gutters and driveway approaches in the public right-of-way; the amount and terms are set by the City. We do not cite a specific ordinance number because the requirement is administered through the City's engineering/public works permitting — confirm details on your permit packet.
