What this bond does

The offering addresses the employer payments secured by the requested Local 38 wage and fringe instrument.

Who needs it
The employing plumbing or pipe-fitting business responsible for the agreement payments.
Who it protects
Use the exact union, fund or trustee names required in the form. A contractor license record does not identify those payment beneficiaries.

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.

Keep the Local 38 request separate from licensing security

Bring the employer agreement, wage schedule and fund remittance instructions. An existing contractor or LLC employee bond does not prove that the particular Local 38 wage/fringe undertaking has been furnished.

Project construction payment bonds also serve a different purpose. Employee insurance and ERISA fidelity protection against dishonest handling of plan assets do not establish this employer's contribution security.

Sources

Have these ready

  1. Employer identity and Local 38 agreement.
  2. Written wage/fringe demand and required instrument.
  3. Payroll and contribution reporting details.
  4. Full beneficiaries, sum and effective dates.
  5. Post-issuance execution and delivery instructions.

Questions about this bond

Can I rely on a contractor licensing bond?

Compare the obligations and recipients. The union wage/fringe request is a different undertaking from security associated with a contractor license.

Does applying replace contribution payments?

Required employer remittances and reports continue. A bond application does not settle the fund account or payroll.

Is a standard Local 38 amount or term shown?

Neither is stated here. Follow the current employer demand instead of using a license-bond amount or another plumbing local's schedule.

How do I proceed online?

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. Submit the employer and request details. After issuance, check the bond and complete required execution and delivery. Recipient acceptance is separate from applying.
