According to Chapter 70, Section 70-168 of the Farmers Branch, Texas Municode, the Right-of-Way Bond is required by the Public Works Department as a way to financially ensure that the contractor will complete the right-of-way project up to permit standards, as well as fulfill the contractual obligation of leaving the job site in its original condition once the permit project has been officially completed. If you commit a regulation violation or breach of contract, the Department may file a claim on your surety bond to cover financial losses and/or the cost of hiring a new contractor to complete the right-of-way project properly.
As for renewing the Right-of-Way Bond, you may need to do so if your project goes beyond a typical one-year timeline.

To renew, all you need to do is complete the standard payment due and your bond will be all set with the City of Farmers Branch for another term.
