Gering Contractor License Bond
What it is & who requires it
Contractors licensed by the City of Gering. The application goes to the City Building Inspector on the city’s own form and must carry the applicant’s name and address, business location and telephone, proof of bonding and proof of insurance, and, for a partnership, the names and addresses of all partners. The Building Inspector investigates the sufficiency of the bonding and insurance before approving. The registration is not assignable, and the license may be revoked for failure to comply with the model codes the chapter adopts.

Term & renewal
Term: A one-year renewable bond with stated starting and ending dates, signed by an officer of the surety company and accompanied by a power of attorney form where applicable.
Renewal: Annual — registration runs concurrently with the license and expires on the last day of December in the year following issuance.
Filing
Presented to the city with the license application and approved by the City Building Inspector. The ordinance offers a choice between two forms of surety — a bond with two or more sureties, or a bond of a surety company — and offers no cash, deposit or letter-of-credit route at all, so the instrument is settled even though the form may vary. The sum is stated flatly as a penal sum. The bond must be a one-year renewable instrument carrying its own start and end dates, signed by an officer of the surety company and accompanied by a power of attorney form where one applies. What it secures is indemnity to the city for accident or damage arising from negligence or unskillfulness in doing or protecting the work, and for unfinished or inadequate work done under the license. Public liability insurance at the city’s stated minimum is a separate requirement of the same section and is carried in addition to the bond.
