bonding requirements should only be applicable for sewer work that will be
accepted into the District's public system or that requires excavation in the public
right of way; and
WHEREAS, the Board has further determined that contractor license status
should be required and checked by District staff before work begins, and that the
contractor status may be different for private work and public sewer system work;

clarifications.

system, or that will involve excavation in the public right of way, or that
will involve a connection to the District's main line, the Contractor shall
maintain a C-42 or A license, or such other license that the District
Engineer shall determine is similar based on state law. For all other
general plumbing work involving only private facilities on private
property, the contractor shall have a C-36 license or such license as the
District Engineer determines is similar based on state law. District
personnel shall verify the status of the license before the permit will
issue.

commercial general liability, with underground coverage, and

employees shall be named as an additional insured and provided with
an endorsement evidencing such coverage on District forms or on forms

cancelled without 30 days notice to the District. Insurance shall have a
Best's Key Guide rating of A-VIII or better and must be issued by an
insurance company authorized to do business in California. Contractors

performing work for the District shall follow the insurance requirements

(k) Bonds. For insurance that will involve District facilities or work in the right
of way, the District shall require a performance bond if the work is over
$25,000 in value, and shall require a labor and materials bond before
the permit will issue. The bonds must be issued by an admitted surety.

verified. "
