The bond shall further provide for the indemnification of any person who shall, while upon public property or in any public place, incur damage for which the principle name in the bond is legally liable.
(B) When any sign contractor’s license has been canceled, the license shall not be renewed until the contractor furnishes an additional bond in the amount of $5,000 guaranteeing compliance with the provisions of this chapter, which bond shall be for a period of two years following renewal of the license.
