What this bond does

Provides the security in Haltom City's Contractors Bond for Work in Public Streets, Alleys and Thoroughfares, tied to the covered city street-work license.

Who needs it
Contractors applying to perform covered construction, repair, grading, paving or other listed work in Haltom City's public streets, alleys and thoroughfares.
Who it protects
The city form protects Haltom City and its agents/employees from negligence-related damage and imperfect or inadequate work, with maintenance for two years after completion and acceptance.

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.

Use the street-work application

The packet asks about business history, experience, unfinished contracts, available equipment, organization type and work the applicant is qualified to perform. This is the street-work application under Ordinance 988, not simply a general building-contractor registration. Use the business name and organization that will undertake the covered work.

Check original signatures, seal and power of attorney

The city's street-bond instructions require original signatures, a surety seal on the bond's second page and an attached power of attorney before permits are issued. Copies or faxes do not satisfy the stated bond-signature instruction. The packet separately addresses the certificate of insurance; a bond does not replace it.

Keep the one-year period and maintenance distinct

The $5,000 form has a one-year general surety-liability period and retains liability for maintenance of earlier work for two years after completion and city acceptance. It also describes fifteen days' written surety-termination notice. Do not treat the annual registration paperwork as automatic release of earlier work.

Use the existing RLI option with this city request. After issuance, check the executed instrument and deliver it as Planning & Inspections directs. Complete the license and applicable permit steps before beginning the street work.

Questions about this bond

What bond amount does the city form show?

Haltom City's street-contractor form states $5,000. Confirm the current request and issued document rather than importing an amount from another contractor category.

The street-bond instructions require original signatures and say no copies or faxes. They also require a surety seal and attached power of attorney.

Does responsibility end after one year?

The form retains maintenance liability for earlier work for two years after completion and city acceptance. Its general liability period should not be confused with that maintenance obligation.
