Each registered gasfitter, as a condition to the issuance of each certificate, shall obtain and file with the City Clerk a personal surety bond, in the amount of $10,000, signed by 1 or more sufficient sureties, or a corporate surety doing business in the city, to be approved by the governing body, conditioned that the licensee shall indemnify and hold harmless the city from all accidents, damage, liability, claims, judgments, costs or expenses caused by the willful or negligent conduct of the gasfitter; provided that, if the applicant is already the holder of a master plumber’s license, he or she may provide a joint bond in the sum of $10,000 which shall embrace and include all the conditions required in both a master gasfitter’s and master plumber’s bond. During the period of the license, the applicant for a license will be governed by the rules and requirements provided in this chapter, or that may hereafter be prescribed and adopted by the city during the period of his or her license, with reference to natural gas work, to the satisfaction of the city. The obligee of the bond shall be the city, and action may be maintained thereon by anyone injured by a breach of its condition. All bonds tendered by gasfitters shall be approved in writing as to form and substance by the City Attorney. In addition to the filing of the bond, each registered gasfitter shall obtain a general public liability insurance policy for property damage and bodily injury, and file a certificate thereof with the City Clerk, in policy limits set by resolution of the governing body and on file at the office of the Clerk. Action may be maintained thereon by anyone injured by a breach of the conditions of the bond or the covenants contained in the required endorsement on the policy of insurance for a period of 1 year after the completion of any gasfitting work.
