What this bond does
The undertaking secures faithful performance of the City's construction codes and ordinances. It requires remediation or restitution of violations up to the bond amount and is filed with the Building Official before engaging in the listed contracting work.
- Who needs it
- The contracting person or business registered with Abilene for the covered work. Match the principal and address to the registration and provide the identification required by the City's contractor table.
- Who it protects
- The complete form is expressly bound to the City of Abilene and any other person who may be injured. Its operative condition concerns compliance with City codes and ordinances, not an automatic guarantee of every contract dispute or unpaid invoice.

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.

Questions about this bond
May I use another trade's bond or insurance requirement?
The current table specifically assigns $75,000 security to the building, roofing, demolition and building-mover row. Other categories have separate requirements; do not apply their smaller sums or insurance alternatives to this filing.
Does renewing registration automatically continue the bond?
The form separately allows a one-year continuation from expiration through a certificate executed by the surety or recognized agent. Keep the bond evidence current as directed; registration renewal alone is not that certificate.
