Who Needs This Bond?
Contractors and employers who have signed a collective bargaining agreement with Sprinkler Fitters Local 268 in Missouri need this bond. Specifically, any signatory contractor performing fire sprinkler installation, repair, or related work under the Local 268 agreement must carry it. If you hire journeymen or apprentice sprinkler fitters covered by Local 268's jurisdiction, this bond is part of your contractual obligation to the union. It applies statewide wherever Local 268 has organized members under contract.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that a signatory employer will pay all wages, health and welfare contributions, pension contributions, and other fringe benefit payments owed to or on behalf of Local 268 members. If an employer falls short — whether through underpayment, late payment, or outright failure to remit — the bond provides a financial backstop. Local 268 or its benefit funds can make a claim against the bond to recover what employees and funds are owed. It is a labor compliance tool, not a performance guarantee on the construction work itself.
When is it Required?
Signing a collective bargaining agreement with Sprinkler Fitters Local 268 is the moment this bond becomes mandatory. Before a signatory contractor can dispatch union fitters or begin covered work, Local 268 will require the bond to be in place. Renewal or replacement is required whenever the existing bond lapses or coverage drops below the level the union specifies. Delays in bonding mean delays in putting your crew to work.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies statewide throughout Missouri wherever Sprinkler Fitters Local 268 has jurisdiction under its collective bargaining agreement. It is a union-mandated requirement tied to the Local 268 labor agreement, not a state agency license or permit. Coverage follows the employer's obligations to Local 268 members regardless of which Missouri job site the work is performed on.
