Bettendorf, IA — Contractor's Bond

Bettendorf requires general contractors to keep a bond on file with its Building Department. Its current requirements distinguish $10,000 for residential work from $250,000 for commercial, industrial and multifamily work. Start with the work classification, not an assumed single amount.

What this bond does

Provide the City's accepted general-contractor bond for the applicable work classification.

Who needs it
General contractors preparing the City of Bettendorf's residential or commercial/industrial/multifamily surety document.
Who it protects
Both City forms bind the principal to perform the duties and comply with laws and ordinances pertaining to the license or permit. They name the City of Bettendorf as obligee, not a private project owner, and do not automatically replace a separately requested performance/payment bond.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

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.

Use the matching City form

The City's forms page provides separate $10,000 and $250,000 documents. Both ask for the principal doing business as the company, business address and bond number. Do not substitute the $10,000 residential form for the commercial, industrial or multifamily request.

The department lists electrical, mechanical and plumbing credentials and contractor registration separately. A general-contractor bond is not itself one of those trade credentials.

Check signatures, power of attorney and seal

The department requires signatures, power of attorney and a visible stamp seal. The City forms run from signing until cancellation and require the surety to give the City 30 days' written notice before cancellation becomes effective. Do not assume an annual expiration because other cities use one.

Purchase Now opens RLI in a new tab. Confirm that RLI can supply the applicable City form and $10,000 or $250,000 request before completing its application. After issuance, check the principal/company, signatures, power of attorney and seal, then send the completed instrument to the Building Department. Purchase alone does not issue a project permit.

Questions about this bond

Is the residential $10,000 form enough for commercial work?

The City's current requirements specify $250,000 for commercial, industrial and multifamily work and link a separate form. Confirm the applicable instrument with RLI before applying.

Does the City form expire automatically every December?

The reviewed City forms run from signing until cancellation, with the surety's 30-day notice to the City. Do not substitute another city's calendar-year rule.

Does this bond supply an electrical or plumbing license?

No. The department lists trade credentials and contractor registration separately from the general-contractor bond.
