What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that a licensed contractor in Franklin Park will comply with applicable local ordinances, codes, and regulations governing construction and contracting work. If a contractor causes harm — through faulty work, code violations, or failure to meet obligations — the bond provides a financial remedy to the Village or affected parties. It holds the contractor accountable to Franklin Park's standards for licensed work. The bond is not insurance for the contractor; it is a guarantee made on the contractor's behalf.
When is it Required?
