What this bond does

The bond can be submitted instead of a financial statement showing the group's required net worth for an initial or renewal application.

Who needs it
The business applying or renewing as a Group 3 general contractor using the Board's surety bond alternative.
Who it protects
The State is the named obligee, with protection described for persons damaged by specified construction-contract breaches or unlawful acts or omissions in construction.

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.

Separate the security amount from your license limit

The $150,000 bond requirement is different from the Group 3 bid and job limitation. Use the general contractor requirement, not the mechanical contractor schedule. The Board requires a continuous instrument kept in effect while licensed unless qualifying replacement financial evidence is received. It is additional to other required bonds. File the issued and executed bond with the appropriate application.
