What this bond does
Meet the Oregon Construction Contractors Board's commercial bond requirement for a General Contractor Level 2 endorsement.
- Who needs it
- A contractor seeking or maintaining the CGC2 endorsement, including businesses that supervise or arrange several unrelated commercial building trades. Match the actual CCB class rather than assuming a single specialty-trade bond covers general contracting.
- Who it protects
- The undertaking binds the surety to the State of Oregon for payment of CCB determination orders under ORS Chapter 701 when the principal does not pay the amounts CCB determines are due. It has an aggregate limit and does not itself insure accidents, guarantee completion or pay every disputed invoice.

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 Level 2 limit me to small commercial buildings?
CCB says Levels 1 and 2 can perform the same commercial work. Their experience and bond requirements differ; Level 2 is not simply a small-building or residential limited license.
Is this the same as Commercial Specialty Level 2?
No. The current sums may match, but general and specialty endorsements have different trade scopes. Have the provider use the form and classification that fit your CCB application.
Does a $25,000 bond satisfy the experience requirement?
No. CCB separately assesses the four combined qualifying years among key employees and any permitted substitutions. Purchasing security does not establish eligibility.
Can I rely on it instead of a project payment bond?
Not automatically. The CCB commercial undertaking secures determination orders within its terms. An owner's or public contract's payment/performance request must be matched separately.
Should I send the bond ahead of my license application?
CCB instructs new applicants to include the bond and power of attorney with the complete application, including upload for online applications. Keep the surety-signing-date 60-day submission limit in view.
