Questions about this bond
Should I use the $25,000 general-contractor amount?
Not simply because this is construction work. The City's bond instructions distinguish $5,000 for electrical, mechanical, plumbing and sign contractors from $25,000 for general contractors.
Can I upload a scan and discard the original?
The checklist expressly calls for the original with the bonding company's seal. Retain it and follow the City's delivery instructions.
Does the City license belong to the company alone?
The licensing page describes individual license holders working for companies. The bond checklist also has specific corporation or owner-dba-company presentation rules, so confirm both roles before issuance.
