Colorado Springs Concrete Contractor License Bond
What it is & who requires it
Concrete contractors in Colorado Springs. The rule is blunt: no person shall construct or repair a sidewalk, curb and gutter, or driveway, or contract to do so, within the City right of way without first obtaining a license and a permit. The bond runs to the City as obligee and answers for four things — faithful observance of the licensing provisions; payment of fines, penalties and costs adjudged against you for violating them; compliance with the Building Code and the City’s ordinances on constructing and repairing sidewalks, curb and gutter and driveways; and payment of damages of every kind caused by your negligence in that work or by a lack of proper protection around it. Permits are separately required for concrete and excavation work, administered by the City’s Right-of-Way Management team.
Obligee: City of Colorado Springs (Office of the City Clerk). Citation: Colorado Springs City Code 3.3.5 (Concrete Contractor License); City Code ch. 2 art. 1 (Business Licenses); City of Colorado Springs Concrete Contractor License Bond form (Office of the City Clerk).

Term & renewal
Term: One year from the date of issuance or renewal, matching the license.
Renewal: Annual, with the license; the City charges a late renewal fee if you miss it.
Filing
Filed with the Office of the City Clerk on the City’s own Concrete Contractor License Bond form, together with the business license application, a certificate of commercial general liability insurance naming the City as certificate holder at the published limit, and a trade name registration and certificate of good standing where applicable. The figure is published here because the City names the instrument and the sum in the same breath on its license page and again on the form, which requires a corporation authorized to do business in Colorado as surety, and offers no cash or letter of credit in its place. Note that Colorado Springs runs the excavation license as a separate credential with its own separate bond form at the same figure — if you both pour concrete and excavate in the right of way, you hold two licenses and post two bonds. Authority: Colorado Springs City Code 3.3.5.
