Contractors working on sidewalks, driveways, curbs, or gutters in Duncanville, Texas must have a $2,000 Street Improvement Bond on file to guarantee that the job site is restored to a usable condition. Other work in the public right of way may need a Performance Bond with a limit determined by the City as assurance that the work will be completed or maintained according to the permit agreement.
You can get your Duncanville Contractor Bond for as low as $100 with Jet. The $2,000 Street Improvement Bonds are guaranteed this price, but if you need a Right of Way Performance Bond, the cost will be based on the bond limit, personal credit and project details. See the chart for examples of what rates start at.

The bond stays in effect for the duration of the project. For the $2,000 Street Improvement Bond, you are obligated to complete the work and provide maintenance for one year. You will have 10 days to bring any issues into compliance. If you don’t, claims can be made on the bond to compensate for making necessary repairs.
For Right of Way Bonds, you are responsible for maintenance of the project site or repair work for an additional two years after completion of the project. If the City finds any inadequacy in the work, you will have one opportunity to restore the site within the allotted time. Failure to do so will allow the City to seek reimbursement for completing maintenance on your behalf; this is usually in the form of a bond claim.
