Dickinson Driveway, Sidewalk, Curb and Retaining Wall Contractor Bond
What it is & who requires it
Anyone engaging in the business or occupation of constructing paved driveways, sidewalks, curbs and retaining walls in or along the streets and alleys of Dickinson. The application goes to the City Auditor in writing and must set out your experience and competency to perform the work, and the code is explicit that no license issues unless the applicant holds a current State Contractor’s License — so the city credential stacks on the state one rather than replacing it. Dickinson separately licenses water and sewer installers under a different article, with its own bond, and separately bonds excavation permits, so check which of the three your scope needs.

Term & renewal
Term: Held with the annual license.
Renewal: Annual, with the license.
Filing
Filed with the Dickinson City Auditor together with the license application, and approved by the Auditor. The code names the instrument and the sum together and offers nothing in its place — a sweep of the whole licensing chapter turns up no cash, escrow or letter-of-credit route — which is why the figure is publishable. What the bond secures is the execution of all work in strict conformity with the chapter, and the protection, indemnification and saving harmless of the City from any and all loss, claim, suit or damages, direct or consequential, that the City may sustain through a violation of the article, through negligence, or in any other manner whatsoever. Authority: Dickinson Code of Ordinances § 30-528.
