McPherson Master Mechanical Contractor Bond
What it is & who requires it
Contractors installing, maintaining, repairing, fabricating, altering or extending central air conditioning, refrigeration, heating and ventilation systems in McPherson and acting in a supervisory capacity. The renewal condition is the practical trap: the city will not renew without evidence that the bond is still in force, so a lapse surfaces at renewal as a refused license rather than as a notice. Competency is tested — the city administers a Prometric or International Code Council examination and charges the cost through.

Term & renewal
Term: Held with the license, which expires on December 31 each year.
Renewal: Renewed annually on payment of the renewal fee and on furnishing evidence that the mechanical business bond continues.
Filing
Filed with the application on the city’s form, as a bond with sureties approved by the city commission in a stated sum. The approval runs to the sureties themselves rather than only to the form, which is unusual and means the commission can decline a surety it does not accept. The condition is indemnity for accidents or damage arising from negligence in the mechanical work, from inadequate work, or from misrepresentation about work done under the license, plus compliance with the city’s mechanical ordinances. No cash or deposit alternative appears in the section.
