Blair Trade Contractor Permit Bond
What it is & who requires it
Trade contractors registering with the City of Blair — electrical contractors, gas line installers, mechanical contractors, plumbing contractors and tree trimmers. It is worth being precise about who does not need it: Blair registers general contractors too, and for them the permit bond is expressly not applicable. A general contractor files a certificate of liability naming the city as certificate holder and a copy of its current Nebraska Department of Labor contractor registration, and no bond. Blair also registers journeymen and apprentices separately. Electrical contractors and fire security systems installers additionally submit a copy of their Nebraska state license, so the state and city credentials stack.
Obligee: City of Blair (Community Development; Building Department).

Filing
Filed with the city as part of trade contractor registration, made in favor of the City of Blair as obligee and written in the name of the registering entity. The city is specific about the form of words — the bond states the individual doing business as the company name — and no cash, deposit or letter-of-credit alternative appears on either the requirements table or the registration form. Registration runs by calendar year and renews each January. Two structural points are worth planning around: Blair requires proof of your Nebraska Department of Labor contractor registration before it will register you, so the state credential comes first; and the bond follows the trade rather than the job, so a general contractor who also holds a trade registration in Blair carries the bond for the trade and not for the general work.
