What this bond does

This bond guarantees that a permittee performs all excavation work according to the Town of Highland Park's Excavation Ordinance No. 1152. It ensures the town is indemnified against losses resulting from defective materials or poor workmanship on public property.

Who needs it
Contractors, developers, or property owners applying for an excavation permit to perform work on public property within Highland Park, Texas.
Who it protects
The bond protects the Town of Highland Park by providing financial recourse for non-compliance with the town's excavation ordinances. It specifically covers losses from defective materials or workmanship appearing within two years after the town accepts the completed work.

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 the excavation ordinance requirements

The Highland Park excavation bond specifically relates to work permitted under Ordinance No. 1152. It requires the principal to faithfully perform all covenants and conditions stipulated in this ordinance when conducting excavation activities on public land.

Your obligations include maintaining the site and ensuring all materials and workmanship meet town standards. The bond provides a two-year maintenance period following the town's final acceptance of the completed work, during which you remain liable for any defects that emerge.

Bond amount and duration

The required penal sum for this obligation is fixed at $10,000. This amount is set to cover potential damages related to your excavation work as defined by town regulation.

The form specifies January 1 with a year to be completed. Confirm the year on the issued instrument rather than assuming it is always the year after purchase. The form separately retains the maintenance obligation for earlier work; completion and town acceptance matter to that period.

Applying and submitting your bond

The existing Propeller purchase option starts the bond application. Provide the legal permittee name and Highland Park's required form. Issuance and filing of the bond are separate from the town's excavation permit approval; buying the bond does not authorize work.

Ensure the final document includes the surety's corporate seal on both the bond form and the associated power-of-attorney before filing it with the town. Review all information for accuracy against your permit application to avoid processing delays.
