Tulsa Sanitary Sewer Contractor Bond
What it is & who requires it
Anyone engaging in sanitary sewer work of any kind in Tulsa — constructing, repairing or cleansing house sewers, or making house sewer connections to the city system. The licensing route is unusual and worth noting: the city requires the person to be licensed by the state as a plumbing contractor or journeyman plumber rather than issuing its own trade license, which is consistent with the state board’s bond standing in lieu of a municipal one. What the city adds is this security requirement on the work itself. No figure is published because the section does not state one — it points at the city’s Plumbing Code and standard specifications instead.
Obligee: City of Tulsa (Director).

Term & renewal
Term: Conditioned to cover all obligations of the principal incurred in connection with the specific work undertaken under the title.
Renewal: Held with the license and the work; the Director gives prior approval.
Filing
Filed with prior approval of the Director. Two independent reasons no amount renders: the ordinance delegates the figure to the Plumbing Code or the standard specifications rather than stating it, and it speaks of bonds or deposits throughout, which puts a non-surety instrument beside the bond. The obligation is conditioned to cover all of the principal’s obligations on the specific work and to indemnify the city against any expense or liability imposed by law from the principal’s acts. Ask the Director’s office for the current specification before buying anything.
