What this bond does

Provide the City's prescribed security for the applicant's Strongsville contractor registration.

Who needs it
Company principals or officers matching actual work to a General, listed trade or described Specialty classification.
Who it protects
The bond addresses code-related work damage to the City and specified contracting parties. It is separate from liability evidence, which the packet says must name the City certificate holder, not additional insured.

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.

Match the company signatory, type and rolling period

The actual form requires the business name, bond number, one selected contractor type, $10,000 and an ending date one year after the beginning date. General includes many listed activities, but the instructions say General Trades registration does not cover electrical, fire alarm/suppression, HVAC or plumbing. Describe Specialty work when that is the accepted class.

One principal or officer listed on the registration application must sign both the application and bond. Check the surety/attorney-in-fact execution and required seal. The instructions reject continuation certificates and faxed or duplicated bond forms; have the provider use the City's downloadable form.

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. Match the exact company, City form, type and one-year period. After issuance, check execution and provide the full registration package. The current packet allows iWorq submission without mailing duplicate paperwork for an online submittal; it does not waive the signed/sealed bond or replace separate RITA and applicable trade credentials.

Questions about this bond

Does the bond automatically expire December 31?

The current instrument says one year after the beginning date of the bond. Do not copy another city's calendar-year term.

Does General include electrical and plumbing registration?

The packet explicitly excludes those and the other named regulated trades from General Trades registration. Match the actual contractor type.

Should liability insurance name the City additional insured?

This packet expressly says certificate holder, not additional insured. Keep the separate liability evidence distinct from the City bond.
