Questions about this bond
Does Whitehall prescribe a December 31 registration expiration?
Its code makes registration effective one year from approval of the application, with bond and insurance concurrent for that year.
Can one $25,000 bond support several registrations?
The code says it is sufficient where the contractor has more than one registration. Complete each actual registration and applicable qualification.
Does General registration qualify all mechanical or sewer work?
No. The code lists State-licensed trades and a separate Columbus credential for sewer excavators. Match the actual category.
