Tulsa Fire Sprinkler and Suppression Contractor Bond
What it is & who requires it
Contractors installing automatic fire sprinkler and fire suppression systems in Tulsa, and the same bond reaches the related work the building code lists — standpipes, hose connections to sprinkler systems, the air line systems used with them, and connecting tanks and pumps. The mechanism is a permit gate rather than a license condition: the code official is directed not to issue the permit until the bond is on file, so a lapse stops work at the counter rather than producing a notice. The requirement falls on the entity installing the system, including a limited liability company, so check the bond is in the name that will appear on the permit.

Term & renewal
Term: Kept on file with the City of Tulsa as a standing condition of taking permits, rather than posted per installation.
Renewal: Maintained on file; the code official may not issue a permit while it is not.
Filing
Filed with the City of Tulsa on a form satisfactory to the city, as a surety bond guaranteeing payment. The same amount appears in both the administrative title and the building code for the several categories of sprinkler and suppression work, so this is one instrument covering the family rather than several. No cash or deposit alternative appears. Note that this is a city bond sitting alongside the state Construction Industries Board scheme rather than inside it: fire sprinkler work is not one of the three trades the Board licenses and bonds, so the state bond does not displace this one.
