What this bond does

Secures the covered cable, conduit or pole-line activity and related county ROW conditions identified in the accepted performance instrument.

Who needs it
The applicant responsible for covered work in Fort Bend County ROW, including an applicant whose permit review calls for a submitted performance bond.
Who it protects
The county's published performance-bond example requires faithful performance of covered activity and reimbursement of county loss or damage from the principal's 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 which security the county requested

Fort Bend County's published review packet distinguishes a perpetual bond already posted from a performance bond submitted for review. The performance form covers cable, conduit and pole-line activity and also refers to authorized commercial-driveway and median openings or modifications. Do not treat those choices as automatically interchangeable or assume the title establishes a one-permit-only limit.

Identify the county road and proposed activity

The reviewed packet asks for the affected road, street or drainage ditch, a vicinity map and plans/specifications, with Drainage District review where applicable. Its authorization is limited to ROW owned and maintained by Fort Bend County; a nearby city or state-highway location does not expand that authority. Obtain other permissions where needed.

Use the requested amount and current county wording

The published packet is a completed 2023 example, not a schedule of current minimums. Its filled-in amount belongs to that applicant. Obtain your required amount, principal and County Judge/successor wording from the county before using the existing Propeller option.

After issuance, deliver the performance instrument and supporting documents as directed and complete county review. The example requires evidence of Commissioners Court review at the job site and separate construction notifications. Bond purchase alone does not provide that evidence or permission to work.

Sources

Have these ready

  1. Obtain the county request specifying performance rather than posted perpetual security.
  2. Identify the affected county road/ditch, work limits and any other road authority.
  3. Prepare the applicant's legal name, vicinity map, plans and requested amount.
  4. Confirm current county form, review, delivery and construction-notification requirements.

Questions about this bond

Can I use a perpetual bond instead?

The county review packet lists posted perpetual security and submitted performance security separately. Ask which arrangement is accepted for your application before substituting one.

Does the amount in a published completed bond set my minimum?

No. The cited packet records one applicant's 2023 amount. Obtain the amount required for your own work rather than copying that example.

Does this authorize work in every road within the county?

No. The reviewed authorization is limited to county-owned and maintained ROW. City, state-highway or other property permissions remain separate.
