Concrete Contractor License Bond - City of La Junta, CO in Colorado

Brief Summary

This is a small bond with a big gate in front of it. La Junta will not license a concrete sidewalk, curb or gutter contractor without a $500 bond, and the City Clerk will not issue that license until the City Engineer has signed off on your competency. Get the bond lined up early so it is not the item holding up your license.

La Junta Municipal Code 12.04.040 requires anyone who builds or contracts to build concrete sidewalks, curbs or gutters in the City to hold a license from the City Clerk. The applicant must hold a certificate of competency from the City Engineer, post a $500 bond running to the people of the State, and pay a $10 annual license fee.

Who needs the license and bond

Under La Junta Municipal Code 12.04.040, no one may engage in, carry on or contract the business of building concrete sidewalks, curbs or gutters without a license from the City Clerk. That covers contractors doing the work and anyone contracting for it as a business.

The license steps

• Get a certificate of competency from the City Engineer. The Clerk cannot grant the license without it.
• Post a $500 bond that runs to the people of the State, signed by the applicant and by sureties as the code requires.
• Pay the $10 annual license fee.

The code text calls for the bond to be signed by at least two good and sufficient sureties of the County. Confirm with the City Clerk that a corporate surety bond meets this requirement and ask for the current bond form before the bond is issued.

A permit is still needed for every job

The license does not authorize individual jobs. Section 12.04.050 requires every concrete contractor or worker to get a permit from the City Engineer before building any concrete or cement sidewalk, curb or gutter.

Your bond is yours alone

Section 12.04.100 bars a licensed concrete contractor from letting anyone else use their name, directly or indirectly, to get a permit for sidewalk or curb work under their bond. Each contractor doing the work needs their own license and bond.
