What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way bond actually covers
The City of Odessa requires a right-of-way construction bond from anyone excavating, boring, cutting pavement, or building within the City's public right-of-way. The bond is a restoration-and-compliance guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to restore streets, sidewalks, and utilities you disturb back to the City's specifications.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Odessa (the obligee), with the public as the protected party. If a contractor leaves a defective trench, damages city infrastructure, or fails to restore the right-of-way, the City can recover against the bond.
Because the scope varies by job, the City sets the bond amount on your permit. Enter that figure and we quote your price — 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum; above $10,000, any check is a soft pull that never affects your score.

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 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.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $10,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
