What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of San Antonio Public Works Department conditions a right-of-way permit on a $10,000 performance bond. When you cut into a street, sidewalk, or other public right of way, the city wants a financial backstop that the area is restored and any defects from the work are repaired.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of San Antonio (the obligee). The bond runs for a one-year term and stays in force until the city accepts the work; if the work is defective from careless or negligent performance, the city can recover against the bond.
The bond is per permit address. Contractors who pull many ROW permits across the city often post a separate blanket right-of-way bond instead — if that fits you better, send us the permit and we'll confirm which is required.

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 $10,000 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 your ROW permit. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to submit with your San Antonio right-of-way permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
