Grand Forks Master Mechanical Installer Bond
What it is & who requires it
Master mechanical installers licensed by the City of Grand Forks — the trade covering systems used in the exchange or transfer of heat, and their erection, installation, alteration, repair, relocation or replacement. The city runs its own mechanical board, and the application goes to the city auditor and must state the applicant’s name, place of business and mailing address, with the place of business established in a commercial or industrial district under the city’s zoning ordinances. The journeyman mechanical installer credential is separate.

Term & renewal
Term: Carried with the license and filed with each application for it.
Renewal: Annual, with the license.
Filing
Filed with the City of Grand Forks with each application for the license. The figure is off this page because the ordinance states it as a minimum and then expressly reserves an uplift — a bond of at least the stated sum is required, but the city may require a larger one — so the number in the code is a starting point rather than what a given applicant files. The bond must be issued by a company licensed to do business in North Dakota, in a form and manner acceptable to the city council. What it secures is indemnity to the city, holding it harmless for any damage or loss including the expense of litigation as a result of the issuance of the license. Liability insurance is a separate and additional requirement: no license issues until a policy acceptable to the city council, from a company licensed in the state, is deposited with the city auditor at the limits the ordinance sets.
