Questions about this bond
Does the owner's exception cover the contractor they hire?
No. The packet says a person hired by the owner to perform work is considered a contractor, even though the qualifying owner doing their own work may fall outside its definition.
Who receives the bond?
The packet requires a $10,000 bond payable to the City and filed with the City Clerk, with sureties approved by the mayor and council. Follow the Clerk's accepted filing instructions.
Does registration through April 30 establish my bond term?
The packet states April 30 for registration expiration. Confirm the actual security dates instead of treating the fiscal-year registration schedule as a displayed provider term.
