Irving, TX Performance and Maintenance Bond
Overview
When Irving's Development Services Department approves your construction project, they require a Performance and Maintenance Bond before work can begin. This bond guarantees that you will complete the project according to the city's approved plans and specifications, and that you'll stand behind any defects in materials or workmanship during the maintenance period. It protects the City of Irving and the public from incomplete or substandard construction work on private developments tied to public infrastructure.
Who Needs This Bond?
If you are a contractor or developer undertaking a construction project in Irving, Texas that involves public infrastructure improvements — such as streets, drainage, water lines, or sidewalks — you need this bond. Irving's Development Services Department typically requires it as a condition of approving your project plans or issuing permits for site improvements connected to the public right-of-way or utility systems. Residential and commercial developers subdividing land or building out site infrastructure are the most common applicants.
What is this Bond For?
This bond serves two distinct obligations: performance and maintenance. The performance component guarantees you will complete all required public improvements according to Irving's approved engineering plans and within any required timeframe. The maintenance component extends your liability past completion, ensuring that if defects appear in the work during the maintenance period, you — not Irving taxpayers — are responsible for repairs. Together, they give the City of Irving a financial backstop throughout the life of the construction and into the warranty period.
When is it Required?
This bond is tied to your specific project approval cycle in Irving, not to a fixed annual renewal date. It is required before the city releases your development plans or allows construction to proceed on public improvements. The bond must remain in force through completion of the work and through the full maintenance period the city specifies in your development agreement. If construction takes longer than anticipated or the maintenance period is extended, your bond must remain active for the entire duration — any gap in coverage puts your project approval at risk.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies exclusively within the city limits of Irving, Texas. It is a local city requirement issued to satisfy Irving's Development Services Department, not a statewide contractor license bond. It has no validity or application outside of Irving's jurisdiction.
