Cedar Rapids considers single bond rule for contractors
The Cedar Rapids City Council considers an amendment to require one $10,000 bond instead of two for certain street work. A Linn County judge ruled a single bond can cover risk, citing Washburn Plumbing's case where a $10,000 master bond sufficed without a separate sidewalk bond. The ordinance aims to codify the ruling and ease permit requirements.
