Questions about this bond
Does the general-contractor checklist establish a blanket $10,000 bond?
No. The City lists insurance there and states bond requirements in particular trade categories. Use the category and actual request.
Why does an excavator's permit role matter?
The City says excavators are typically under the general contractor except when applying for the permit themselves; that applicant checklist includes the $10,000 bond.
Does the bond application submit my City requirements?
No. The City separately requires its contractor documents before permit issuance and provides email or mail submission to the Building Division.
