Bettendorf Sidewalk and Driveway Contractor Bond
What it is & who requires it
Contractors constructing sidewalks, driveway approaches or making curb cuts on Bettendorf public rights-of-way. This is a separate filing from the city’s general contractor bond at the building department, and from its excavation bond in the next chapter, so a contractor doing flatwork in the street may hold two or three Bettendorf bonds at once — the same figure, three different officers and triggers. Note the overlap with the general contractor section, whose miscellaneous subcontracting list also names sidewalk and approach work: if you are already bonded there, ask the clerk and the building department which filings they each expect before buying a second one.
Obligee: City of Bettendorf (City Clerk). Citation: Bettendorf City Code § 7-2-7 (Contractors, bond), Title 7 (Public Ways and Property) ch. 2; § 7-2-8 (Sidewalk repairs); 2008 Code § 27-82.
