What this bond does

Addresses Jersey Village's requested ROW contractor surety security, separate from insurance and approval of the particular project permit.

Who needs it
Applicants registering for the City of Jersey Village ROW contractor credential who must supply the city's required surety bond.
Who it protects
The accepted bond defines the obligation owed to Jersey Village and the conditions for recovery. The registration guide establishes a bond-document requirement, not a promise to complete or pay for every private project.

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 ROW contractor credential

The city guide specifically requires a surety bond of at least $15,000 for ROW contractors in addition to liability insurance. It lists general, excavation, driveway, concrete and several other contractor credentials with different requirements. A general-contractor credential should not be assumed to replace the ROW credential simply because the same business performs both activities.

Prepare the bond and insurance separately

Obtain the city's required bond form, amount and principal name before using the existing Propeller option. The minimum in the credential guide is not a populated fixed amount or term for this listing; confirm the amount required for the actual request.

The guide requires certificates of insurance to name Jersey Village as an additional insured. That insurance instruction should not be transferred to the bond as if the bond were another insurance certificate. Confirm the bond's own execution and acceptance requirements.

Complete credentials, then the correct project application

The MyGov guide places credentials/contractor registration separately from permit applications. It instructs applicants to upload the documentation for the applicable credential, then select the appropriate project application, including the correct residential or commercial category.

After issuance, submit the bond through the city's required process and confirm the credential and permit status before work. The guide warns that the wrong project category can require a new application; a bond receipt does not correct that selection or issue the permit.

The guide treats them as different credentials with different documents. Have the city confirm the credential appropriate to the activity instead of substituting one for the other.

Does uploading the bond issue the project permit?
