About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Clark County PUD No. 1 runs solar and residential conservation programs (efficiency upgrades, weatherization, solar installs) that pay rebates and incentives through enrolled contractors. The bond is the district's financial backstop that you'll complete the work to program standards and handle customer and incentive funds properly.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Clark County PUD No. 1 (the obligee). If a contractor's defective work or misuse of program funds harms the district or a customer, they can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who deliver clean program work treat the bond as an enrollment formality.
