Leavenworth Building Mover Bond
What it is & who requires it
Anyone engaging in the business of building moving in Leavenworth, or moving a building through, over or along any city street, avenue or alley. The license is discretionary in a way most trade licenses are not: it issues only with the consent of the city engineer, and the application must set out the applicant’s relevant work experience, financial status and third-party references, with the engineer free to ask for more. So the bond is the last step rather than the first. What it secures is broad — outstanding license fees plus damage to pavement, streets, sidewalks and to city fire or police alarm, telegraph, telephone and electric lighting poles, wires, bridges and viaducts.

Term & renewal
Term: Filed with the city clerk before the license issues and held behind it.
Renewal: With the license.
Filing
Executed and delivered to the city, filed with the city clerk and approved by the city attorney, as a good and sufficient surety company bond in a stated sum. The instrument is named in terms, which is what carries the figure, and no cash or deposit alternative appears in the article. Note the breadth of the condition: it attaches regardless of how the damage is caused, so it is closer to a route-damage guarantee than to a negligence indemnity.
