What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A conservation program contractor bond is a performance and compliance guarantee. When you install rebated weatherization, HVAC, or energy-efficiency measures under the PUD's program, Clark County PUD No. 1 wants a financial backstop that the work meets program standards.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Clark County Public Utility District No. 1 (the obligee). If your program work is defective or fails the PUD's standards, the PUD or a harmed customer can recover against the bond — and you repay the surety.
The bond stays active while you're an enrolled program contractor. It renews on its term, and we send notices 60 and 30 days out so your enrollment never lapses.
