Term & renewal
Term: Runs with the certification; the agreement stays in effect for the period covered by the bond and its renewals unless the District revokes it earlier. Covers a one-year guaranty period after the work.
Renewal: If the bond carries an expiration date it must be renewed to stay on the District’s bonded-contractor list; a continuous bond is preferred.
Filing
Filed with the Lake Whatcom Water & Sewer District as a condition of certification as a bonded Sewer Services Contractor. The District sets the amount at $30,000 and requires a surety bond — there is no cash or letter-of-credit alternative — and the surety must appear on the U.S. Treasury Circular 570 list. The District accepts several surety form types for this one obligation, so a contractor bond and a sewer services bond here are the same instrument, not two. Authority is the District’s Bonded Side Sewer Packet and Certification Agreement.
