What this bond does
Prepare the City of Berwyn contractor-license surety for the actual business category, rather than choosing a generic amount.
- Who needs it
- Contractors preparing the City Collector's license application or renewal with the bond required for their category.
- Who it protects
- The City's instructions request wording keeping Berwyn harmless from person or property damage liability arising from operations under the license. This protects the City in the way the accepted form states; it is not the separately requested liability insurance certificate.

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
Is $10,000 enough for a General Contractor?
The posted City sheet puts General in the $25,000 list. Confirm the category and accepted wording rather than treating the broad contractor title as a $10,000 instruction.
Can I submit an unsigned provider confirmation?
The City instructions call for the original surety signed by the principal. Check the issued instrument and the Collector's current delivery directions.
Is the $50,000 plumbing figure part of every license?
The sheet ties it to a Building Department request for parkway use or sidewalk/street opening. Do not transfer it to every contractor or assume this provider label certifies that separate instrument.
