What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A blanket right-of-way bond is a restoration guarantee to the City of San Antonio that covers all of your ongoing ROW work under one permit — instead of bonding each permit separately. The city wants assurance that every street and right-of-way you touch is restored to standard.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of San Antonio (the obligee). If you leave a cut unrestored or damage the right-of-way on any covered job, the city can recover its restoration cost against the bond, up to $100,000.
The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the blanket permit. Let it lapse and the city can suspend the blanket permit, stopping all your covered work — so we track it and notify you ahead of expiration.

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
File with the city. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the City of San Antonio's right-of-way / Public Works permit office. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $1,000 at the $100,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
