What this bond does

Secure the principal’s cable, conduit and pole-line activity governed by the Fort Bend County Commissioners’ Court road-use condition.

Who needs it
Utility-line operators or contractors asked to provide the county’s perpetual cable, conduit and/or pole-line bond.
Who it protects
The county-published instrument addresses faithful performance of the specified line activity and reimbursement of county loss or damage caused by the principal’s covered failure or default.

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.

Check the county-road and activity limits

The published perpetual condition concerns laying, constructing, maintaining or repairing cables, conduits and pole lines in, under, across or along roads under the Commissioners’ Court’s jurisdiction.

Identify the operator, roads and planned facilities. A Fort Bend County address does not establish county control of every street, and this utility-line condition is not general security for all construction throughout Texas.

Use the requested perpetual instrument

The county’s published accepted example names the County Judge or successors as recipient and refers to the governing Commissioners’ Court order. It covers the principal’s specified ongoing line activity rather than merely naming one excavation.

The amount filled into another firm’s accepted bond is not proof of your required amount. Obtain the county’s current condition and assigned sum. The instrument also allows the county to require further or additional bonds if it deems itself insecure.

Confirm acceptance and continued security

Purchase Now opens Propeller’s application for this perpetual offering. Match the legal principal, county recipient, condition and assigned amount before completing the application; have the provider confirm execution and supporting authority documents.

Deliver the issued security as the county directs and obtain applicable work permissions separately. Perpetual does not mean permission for unlimited work or establish an annual renewal date; confirm continued security, changes and release with the county and provider.

Questions about this bond

Is this a bond for only one street opening?

The published perpetual condition covers the named principal’s specified cable, conduit and pole-line activity under the county order. Confirm which permits and operations the county accepts under your issued bond.

May I copy the amount from a county-posted completed bond?

No. A completed example shows another principal’s accepted sum, not a universal minimum or your assigned requirement.

Does perpetual mean it can never change?

Do not assume that. The published condition permits further or additional security when the county deems itself insecure. Confirm current continuation, changes and release instructions.
