Pennsylvania bonds

Allegheny County, PA — Right Of Way Bond

Allegheny County requires a Highway Occupancy Permit for construction within, under or over its ROW. Confirm the county's specific security request before choosing this bond; a Pittsburgh address or county location alone does not identify the road authority.

What this bond does

Match an Allegheny County ROW security request to construction under the county's Highway Occupancy Permit process.

Who needs it
Individuals, utilities, municipalities, authorities, companies or other applicants performing construction affecting Allegheny County-controlled ROW.
Who it protects
The county's accepted bond condition determines the protected recipient and duties. Its public permit overview establishes construction authorization, not the complete terms of this ROW offering.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Confirm county ROW, not just the postal address

The county describes ROW as more than the traveled road: it includes shoulders, curbs, berms, gutters and areas for drainage, guide rail and signs. Typical permitted work includes utility repairs, driveway/sidewalk work, storm-sewer connections and new road connections.

Confirm the actual county road/bridge and location with Public Works. Do not substitute a PennDOT highway bond or a municipal opening form solely because the job is inside Allegheny County.

Ask the HOP reviewer for the security condition

The county's road-and-bridge page links to its online Highway Occupancy Permit application and identifies a HOP contact. It does not publish this bond's amount, term or cancellation condition.

Obtain the required principal and beneficiary, exact form, sum, dates and restoration/maintenance requirements. Keep construction HOP security separate from the same page's event/film permits and overload/oversize travel authorizations.

Apply for the bond and obtain the HOP

Purchase Now opens Propeller's Allegheny County Right of Way Bond application. Supply the county's written request, work description and permit reference. Resolve any form mismatch before issuance.

Review and deliver the issued document as Public Works directs, and finish the county HOP application. The county says construction is allowed only after permit issuance; the surety application is not that permit.

Questions about this bond

Is a county bond correct for every job in Allegheny County?

No. Confirm whether the affected ROW is county-controlled, municipal, state or another authority's property.

Does this offering also authorize an oversized vehicle or film shoot?

No. The county describes those as separate permits. Match this security to the actual construction request.

Is the sum or annual renewal date established here?

No. The current option and reviewed county overview do not establish either. Obtain the county's written condition.
