Questions about this bond
Does a homeowner cashier's check prove the contractor bond is unnecessary?
No. The page separates homeowner escrow from contractor excavation security. Have Engineering identify the actual applicant arrangement.
What does the page say about continuation?
After the first year it allows a certificate referencing the same bond number, provided coverage has no gaps. Confirm actual coverage rather than assuming a listed fixed term.
Which insurance figure should I copy?
The page's overview and contractor checklist differ. Obtain Engineering's current role-specific certificate instructions, including required insured and endorsement treatment.
