What this bond does

The bond secures the city's stated contractor-business duties, including compliance, workmanlike performance and applicable restoration obligations. It is not a general liability policy for the contractor.

Who needs it
Contractors directed to provide Mountain Brook's posted contractor surety instrument for the business activity identified in their city instructions.
Who it protects
The form protects the City of Mountain Brook and provides for actions by people or businesses injured by a covered violation or breach. Its conditions define those rights; the bond is not a promise to cover every construction loss.

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 business covered by the city form

The contractor surety form has a $10,000 penal sum and asks for the business or businesses the principal intends to conduct in Mountain Brook. Match the actual city licensing instruction rather than leaving the activity unclear.

This catalog also has separately named blasting and sprinkler-system offerings. The posted general contractor form alone does not prove that either specialized obligation is interchangeable with this one.

Distinguish restoration duties from the bond period

The form includes duties to safeguard excavations, restore affected streets and maintain the restored portions safely for one year after restoration. That specific work condition is not a statement that the entire bond is a one-year policy.

The bond remains effective until 30 days after the City Clerk receives the surety's written cancellation notice. The form preserves liability accrued before cancellation takes effect.

Apply through RLI and check the city instrument

Purchase Now opens RLI in a new tab. Have the principal's legal identity, covered business activity, city form and requested effective date ready.

After issuance, check the principal and surety or attorney-in-fact execution and the city approval fields. Deliver the document under the city's instructions; buying it does not itself grant the contractor license or a project permit.

Sources

Have these ready

Questions about this bond

Does the one-year restoration condition make the bond annual?

No. The one-year condition concerns maintaining restored street portions. The form separately describes when written cancellation notice becomes effective.

Does cancellation erase earlier liability?

The posted form preserves liability accrued before cancellation becomes effective. Its notice provision is not a release of every earlier obligation.

Does this establish the blasting or sprinkler bond?

No. Those are separately named catalog offerings. Match a specialized city request to its accepted form rather than assuming the general contractor document is interchangeable.

Who signs the issued document?

The form provides execution fields for the contractor/principal and the surety or attorney-in-fact, along with city approval fields. Check the completed document before delivery.
