What this bond does

Provides the construction-and-maintenance security requested with Missouri City's Right of Way Use Permit application.

Who needs it
Contractors applying for covered Missouri City ROW use, including the applicable utility, landscaping, irrigation, sign, fence/wall or other construction category on the form.
Who it protects
The required security concerns the permitted construction and maintenance undertaking for the city. It does not transfer maintenance of installed items to Missouri City or establish payment security for every private contract.

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.

Describe what will remain in the ROW

The ROW application identifies irrigation, signs, landscaping, walls/fences, utilities, network facilities and other construction as separate submittal types. It asks for the project location, design professional, contractor and the person or agency that will maintain the installed items. Match those responsibilities to the actual plan, not just the project owner's mailing address.

Use construction cost to confirm the amount

The form says the contractor must provide a construction bond equal to or greater than construction cost, good for one year of construction and maintenance and issued in the name of the City of Missouri City. It requires the bond with the application. Confirm how the required start/end dates apply to your project; do not convert that wording into an assumed year after completion or an automatic annual renewal.

Submit the issued bond with the application

Use the existing Propeller option with the city's required instrument, legal contractor name and work valuation. After issuance, include the bond in the ROW application through the city's current submission route.

The contractor must comply with the city code and applicable infrastructure/wireless standards, arrange required inspections and provide the stated 48-hour inspection notice. The form says the city is not responsible for maintaining installed ROW items. Bond purchase is not permit issuance or inspection approval.

Questions about this bond

Is there one fixed Missouri City ROW bond amount?

The application requires an amount equal to or greater than construction cost. Use the project's accepted valuation and required bond wording rather than a fixed amount copied from another jurisdiction.

Is the bond submitted after the permit is issued?

The published ROW application requires the bond with the application. Complete city review and permit issuance before relying on permission to work.

Will the city maintain what I install in its ROW?

The form says Missouri City is not responsible for maintenance of installed ROW items and asks who will maintain them. Identify that party separately from the surety.
