Wheat Ridge Contractor License and Permit Bond
What it is & who requires it
Contractors holding a Wheat Ridge right-of-way license — the City runs class A and class D licenses, and the Director of Public Works may suspend or revoke either for failing licensee responsibilities, lending your license, acting through another to evade the chapter, or negligence. The security is deposited before any license issues and is held against completion of permitted work and a two-year warranty on it.
Obligee: City of Wheat Ridge (Director of Public Works). Citation: Wheat Ridge Code of Laws § 21-21(e) (License and permit bond); § 21-22 (Authority; procedure; emergency suspension); Ord. No. 1689 § 1, 5-11-20; Ord. No. 1808 § 5, 12-9-24.

Term & renewal
Term: Held by the City to insure completion of any permitted work and to warrant work performed under the license for two years.
Renewal: Annual, with the license; the amount is reset annually by the director.
Filing
Deposited with the City before the license issues. Read the catchline and the text together, because they do not say the same thing: the section is headed “License and permit bond”, but what it requires by default is a cash bond, and an insurance company performance and warranty bond acceptable to the Director of Public Works may be substituted for it. So a surety bond is an accepted alternative here rather than the requirement, which is one reason no figure appears on this page; the other is that the code fixes no sum at all — the amount is set annually by the director. Insurance is separate and substantial: commercial general liability including the explosion, collapse and underground property damage hazards, comprehensive automobile liability, and workers’ compensation, with the director able to waive requirements for a governmental entity or an adequately self-insured entity. Authority: Wheat Ridge Code of Laws § 21-21(e).
