What this bond does
Addresses Lubbock's requested security for permitted construction in public ROW, using the required city instrument and applicable registration arrangement.
- Who needs it
- ROW users and their contractors whose Lubbock work is subject to the city's bond requirement rather than an applicable exemption.
- Who it protects
- The published chapter defines a ROW bond as license-and-permit security for performance of work in publicly owned ROW. It should not be treated as a general payment guarantee for every private contract.

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.

Have these ready
- Confirm the current perpetual ROW form and $50,000 registration requirement with the City Engineer.
- Identify the ROW user, actual employer and ultimate facility owner.
- Check whether a listed bond exemption applies to the particular work.
- Arrange issuance and filing separately from permits, restoration and eventual city release.
Questions about this bond
Does perpetual mean the bond expires one year after purchase?
No. The published chapter describes security valid until City Engineer release and a twelve-month interval after the last permit issued. Confirm the current form and release instructions.
Is every utility contractor exempt?
No such blanket exemption is stated. The chapter specifically addresses a ROW user's own W-2 employees and other listed situations; an outside contractor should confirm its status.
Does a bond exemption also remove every permit requirement?
Do not assume that. The chapter treats bond, fee and permit matters separately. Confirm the approvals required for the activity.
