What it is and who needs it.
What the Bear Creek contractor license bond covers
Bear Creek Water and Sanitation District is a Colorado special district, formed in 1962, that provides water and sewer service in the Lakewood area of Jefferson County from its office at 2517 S. Flower St. Its Board adopts Rules and Regulations under the powers a special district board holds by statute — including the power in C.R.S. § 32-1-1001(1)(m) to adopt, amend, and enforce rules and regulations — and Article 4 of those Rules is the contractor licensing program.
Section 4.01 is the trigger: no person may construct or repair a water or sewer service line, or a public water or sanitary sewer main, within the District without first obtaining a District license. Section 3.02 adds that only a Licensed Contractor may build a service line or make connections to District facilities under a permit, and §§ 6.01 and 6.02 require property owners to hire one for both sewer and water service lines. To be licensed you must show a Colorado plumber’s license in good standing (§ 4.03), file a certificate of public liability insurance (§ 4.04) and a workers’ compensation certificate or rejection-of-coverage form (§ 4.06), pay the Board’s fee, and furnish this bond (§ 4.05).
The bond is what stands behind the contractor’s compliance with the District’s Rules and technical specifications — work the District inspects before any trench is backfilled (§ 6.04). The license runs one year (§ 4.07) and is renewed only on satisfactory work and a fresh bond (§ 4.08), and any lapse of the bond is grounds for the Board to revoke or suspend the license after a hearing (§ 4.10). The penal sum is fixed; the premium is quoted on review, the application asks for no credit information, and the bond issues the moment you pay.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
Term and renewal are set in the underwriter's quote.
Keep the bond in force for as long as the obligation behind it runs.
How to file it
File with the District. Accept the quote and pay, and the executed bond issues with the surety’s power of attorney, ready to hand to the District office at 2517 S. Flower St., Lakewood, with your application, insurance and workers’ compensation certificates, and license fee.
