City of Midland, TX - Contractor Right of Way ($10,000) — required surety bond in Texas. Apply online in minutes.
A Contractor Right of Way Bond is a type of surety bond required by local municipalities before allowing construction work within public spaces like streets, alleys, or sidewalks. It guarantees that the contractor will safely complete their project and properly restore the public property to its original condition. Required bond amounts vary, so applicants should verify exact figures with the issuing agency.
General contractors, excavators, pavers, and utility workers performing construction or repairs within public rights-of-way typically need this bond. Any business seeking a local permit to block, alter, or dig in public streets and sidewalks is generally subject to this requirement.
The obligee generally requires this bond to protect the local government and residents from financial loss if a contractor damages public infrastructure. It ensures that streets and sidewalks are restored properly without shifting the repair burden to taxpayers. If the contractor abandons the project, the bond provides funds to finish the restoration.
