What this bond does

The Licensing Board permits a surety bond instead of the financial statement showing the group's required net worth with an initial or renewal application.

Who needs it
The contractor entity seeking or renewing Group 4 general contractor status using the surety bond route.
Who it protects
The State is obligee. The Board describes protection for persons damaged by specified construction-contract breaches and unlawful construction acts or omissions.

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.

Keep the Group 4 bond separate from project security

Use the $250,000 general contractor requirement, not the mechanical contractor amount or the Group 4 bid and job limit. The instrument must be continuous and kept in effect while licensed unless the Board receives qualifying replacement financial evidence. It is additional to other required surety bonds. After issuance, submit the executed bond with the appropriate license application.
