Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Understand fiscal security and maintenance

Published §16.03.003 sets fiscal security at $10,000 as a surety bond, letter of credit or cash deposit unless the Transportation Criteria Manual prescribes a different form or amount. It also recognizes qualifying franchise security rather than automatically requiring duplicate security.

The city's ROW application separately lists one-year fiscal security and a one-year maintenance bond in its checklist/submittal instructions. Have the reviewer identify the required documents for your activity. Do not assume the maintenance period, permit duration and issued bond coverage dates are interchangeable.

Prepare the ROW application, not just the bond

The application requests project and owner information, an authorized agent where applicable, combined plans, an aerial cover sheet, schematic plans, bore profiles when applicable, liability insurance and a cost estimate. It also calls for an approved TxDOT permit when applicable.

A location in Cedar Park does not make city approval a substitute for state-highway permission. Clarify the affected road authority and whether your work is an excavation, facility installation or temporary use before finalizing the security request.

Apply and complete city review separately

Use the existing Propeller option with the city's required wording, amount and coverage dates in hand. Resolve whether the issued instrument satisfies the fiscal-security and maintenance requirements before filing it.

The city application directs submissions through its online permitting system and says incomplete applications cannot be accepted for review. Issuance of a bond does not mean the ROW permit has been granted; complete the city review before starting the permitted activity.

Questions about this bond

Is Cedar Park fiscal security always exactly $10,000?

Published §16.03.003 uses $10,000 unless a different form or amount is prescribed by the Transportation Criteria Manual. Confirm the requirement for your activity instead of treating the base figure as universal.

Does the one-year maintenance requirement establish this option's term?

No. The application lists maintenance and fiscal-security requirements, while the purchase option does not supply a structured fixed term. Check the issued document's dates and the city's request.

Can the bond replace plans, insurance or a TxDOT permit?

No. Those are separate application items, with a TxDOT approval required when applicable. The bond also does not replace Cedar Park's permit review.
