What this bond does

Prepare the bond requested for the registered-contractor licensing file, keeping the state credential, competency card and insurance documents distinct.

Who needs it
State-registered contractors whose Lake Wales file calls for the bond identified in the city's contractor information sheet.
Who it protects
The accepted surety form defines the secured licensing conditions. The information sheet establishes a document checklist, not the full bond terms or an automatic replacement for liability insurance.

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.

Identify the actual license numbers and trade

The sheet says “Registered Contractors ONLY” provide a bond and competency card. It also asks for all license numbers and lists separate construction trades.

Give the city the actual license numbers and legal contractor/company information. Have it identify the applicable security rather than assuming that one bond covers all classifications, or that general city registration makes a state-certified credential state-registered.

Insurance certificate instructions are not bond wording

The sheet asks for liability and workers' compensation insurance and directs the insurance certificate holder to be the City of Lake Wales. That certificate instruction does not supply the full obligee wording of an accepted surety form.

Use the city's written bond instructions for recipient, amount and period; the existing RLI card does not publish an amount or term. Purchase Now opens RLI in a new tab. Check the issued document and follow the city's delivery instructions rather than treating provider issuance as license acceptance.

Questions about this bond

Does general city registration make my license state-registered?

No. The posted sheet singles out registered contractors for the bond and competency card. Identify the actual Florida credential and the city's instructions for that credential, rather than relying on the general word registration.

Does the insurance certificate tell me the bond's exact recipient?

Not by itself. The sheet names the City of Lake Wales as insurance certificate holder, but the accepted surety form supplies the bond's legal obligee wording.

Which amount and term should I select?

Use the city's accepted form and written request. Neither the posted information sheet nor the existing RLI option publishes those details here; another municipality's figures are not a substitute.
