For various construction permit applications and other paperwork, take a look at the city’s Building Department Online Forms & Permit Information webpage.
According to the Hedwig Village, Texas Ordinance No. 76, the Right-of-Way Bond is required by the Building Department as a way to financially ensure that the contractor will perform the construction, excavation, repairs, and/or maintenance project within a public right-of-way up to permit regulations, as well as leave the street in its original condition once the job has been completed.
The main purpose of the surety bond is to act as a financial guarantee for the city if the contractor chooses to or unknowingly violates the terms of their permit and refuses or is unable to resolve the problem. For example, if a contractor is hired to perform an excavation project within a public street and causes damages to the street that are left unfixed, the Department or any other harmed party has the right to file a claim on the contractor’s bond. Funds from Jet Insurance Company up to the bond limit will then be used to cover losses incurred by the damaged claimant or will pay for the cost of hiring a new contractor to finish the job properly and up to code.
Permits for right-of-way work typically are only needed for one year, but if your project goes beyond schedule, you will need to extend your permit and renew your Right-of-Way Bond.
