What this bond does
Provide the trade-specific surety document required by Lincolnwood's contractor-license checklist.
- Who needs it
- Contractors whose work appears in a bonded trade row, including general, mechanical, electrical, roofing and other expressly listed classes.
- Who it protects
- The Village says required bonds must indemnify and hold harmless the Village and all public utility companies providing service within it from accidents and damages. Carry that wording into the accepted surety form rather than using insurance additional-insured language.

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.

Questions about this bond
Does a state roofing or fire-sprinkler credential replace this bond?
Lincolnwood's checklist lists the state credential and a $10,000 bond for those trades. Follow its actual row rather than an exemption used by another municipality.
Can the bond show only my post-office box?
No. The Village requires a street address with city, state and ZIP on the bond's face and expressly rejects post-office boxes.
Is protecting only the Village enough?
The stated wording also includes all public utility companies providing service within the Village. Use the accepted form for that protection and the complete conditions.
