Winfield Contractor License Bond
What it is & who requires it
Electrical, plumbing, private sewage disposal, mechanical, general, building, residential and limited contractors licensed by Winfield. As in several other Kansas cities of this size, a single bond at one sum covers every class the city licenses, so the number of trades a firm holds does not change what it files. The license itself turns on a certified individual: the applicant must be, or must employ full-time, a certified person for the class applied for, and that person cannot be shared across firms. Insurance is a separate section and runs alongside the bond.
Obligee: City of Winfield. Citation: Winfield Code of Ordinances § 18-38 (Bond requirements); § 18-37 (Application for license); § 18-39 (Insurance requirements); § 18-40 (License fees); Ord. No. 3977 (2013).

Term & renewal
Term: Kept in full force and effect at all times the contractor does work in the city.
Renewal: Maintained continuously alongside the license rather than renewed per job.
Filing
Furnished to the city as a good and sufficient surety bond in a stated sum, with no non-surety substitute anywhere in the article. The condition is compliance with all city ordinances and a hold-harmless for loss or damage resulting from negligence or failure to use due care in licensed work, extended to the contractor’s employees, agents and servants. The obligation is continuous rather than per-permit — the code requires it kept in force at all times the contractor does work in the city — so it should be treated as a standing filing behind the license.
