- Who it protects

It also addresses City loss or liability through the contractor's fault or that of its agents or employees; it is not blanket security for every private construction contract.

Questions about this bond
Can this apply to work under a private contract?
Yes. The published form expressly addresses City street, alley and right-of-way work under private property-owner contracts as well as contracts with the City.
Is a continuation certificate contemplated?
Yes. Engineering's sheet calls for annual continuation with the original bond number. Its separate new-bond instruction applies when the listed insurance company changes.
Is this the same form as a Building Department license bond?
No automatic equivalence follows from the shared $5,000 amount. Use the department and obligation stated in your request.
