What this bond does

Provides the security described in Fort Worth's Street and Storm Drain contractor form for covered work in public streets, alleys and thoroughfares.

Who needs it
Contractors whose Fort Worth registration or license request calls for the Street and Storm Drain form, rather than the residential Parkway form.
Who it protects
The city form addresses negligence, imperfect or inadequate work and maintenance for two years after completion and city acceptance, protecting the city, its agents/employees and contracting parties as stated in the form.

Choose from 2 options

Each option is a separate record. Where a term, bond amount, premium, or E&O limit is known, it is listed; match it to what your requirement asks for.

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.

Use the Street and Storm Drain instrument

The form describes laying, construction, repair, grading, paving, surfacing and related work in Fort Worth's public streets, alleys and thoroughfares under Ordinance 3449. The current contractor packet includes it separately from the $10,000 residential Parkway form. Ask the city which classification and form apply rather than choosing by the shorter catalog title alone.

Understand the period after work is accepted

The provided $25,000 form has a one-year general liability period and retains maintenance liability for earlier work for two years after completion and acceptance. Its five-day written surety-termination provision also preserves the stated maintenance obligation. Do not treat a registration renewal or bond termination as automatic release of completed work.

Compare the application routes, not invented tiers

Option 1 is Propeller's Street and Storm Drain Contractor listing. Option 2 is RLI's Street and Drain listing. Neither option supplies a structured fixed amount or term here, so the listing does not establish different coverage tiers. Provide the same city request when checking the chosen route.

After issuance, review the city form, legal principal, dates and power of attorney, then submit the required contractor documents through the city's process. Insurance, registration review and permission for the actual work remain separate from buying the bond.

Questions about this bond

Why are there two purchase options?

They are separate provider routes: Propeller's Street and Storm Drain Contractor option and RLI's Street and Drain option. The data does not show different amount or term tiers between them.

Can I use the $10,000 Parkway form instead?

Do not substitute it for a request specifying the $25,000 Street and Storm Drain instrument. The city packet contains distinct forms for different classifications.

Does the form stop all responsibility after one year?

No. The form retains maintenance liability for earlier work for two years after completion and city acceptance, subject to its wording.
