Bonds a electrical contractor needs
The license bond is the same for a C-10 as for any other classification. Where electrical contractors differ is the project bonds: service upgrades and tenant improvements on public or commercial jobs are frequently bonded, and running new service or conduit in the public right-of-way can trigger an encroachment or street-cut bond from the city.
Required of every CSLB-licensed contractor, in every classification.
Required on most public and larger private jobs to guarantee the work and pay your subs and suppliers.
For service and conduit work in the public right-of-way, when the city or county requires it.
