Questions about this bond
Is a CitizenServe upload enough instead of the original?
The currently linked packet says to send or bring the signed/stamped bond and that registration will not issue until the original is received.
Must I use only the City's attached form?
The checklist also permits the insurance company's form. Match its acceptance, $10,000, City recipient and the required original execution.
Is the Contractor Agreement the bond?
No. It is a separate signed registration document. The surety bond has its own principal, surety and execution.
