What it is and who needs it.
What the Bettendorf contractor bond guarantees
The City of Bettendorf conditions its contractor license on a $10,000 surety bond. It is a public-and-code-compliance guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the city's building, construction, and right-of-way ordinances on the work you do inside Bettendorf.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Bettendorf (the obligee), with the public protected. If a contractor violates the city's construction codes or damages public property and fails to make it right, the city or a harmed party can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and the city can suspend your license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $10,000 filing continuous.
