What this bond does

This offering identifies restoration of Arkansas highway right-of-way. For utility work, ARDOT's Utility Accommodation Policy addresses returning disturbed highway property to an acceptable condition; it is not a general contractor-license obligation.

Who needs it
A utility owner or other applicant holding an ARDOT restoration-bond request for work affecting state highway right-of-way.
Who it protects
ARDOT's utility policy defines a bond as an obligation to pay the department for unsatisfactory work. Its codification notes describe restoration security when a utility owner fails to restore the right-of-way. The requested instrument controls the obligation for your activity.

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.

Match restoration security to the permitted activity

The Utility Accommodation Policy covers public and private utilities in state highway right-of-way. It addresses installation, relocation, maintenance, and removal, with restoration of disturbed highway areas and drainage facilities to the department's satisfaction.

If your request concerns a driveway, a city street, or another non-utility activity, do not apply the utility policy automatically. Confirm the road authority and exact restoration form. A location within Arkansas does not make every road an ARDOT road.

Keep the highway permit and bond application distinct

Bring the ARDOT request, highway or route location, work plans, applicant name, required amount, and form. Confirm whether the security applies to one permit or a broader undertaking; this option supplies no fixed amount or term.

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. After issuance, check the bond against ARDOT's instructions and deliver it as directed. Bond issuance is separate from permission to occupy or work in the highway right-of-way.

Questions about this bond

Does the utility policy apply to every Arkansas road project?

No. Part 91 concerns utility accommodation on state highway right-of-way. Match non-utility work and local-road requests to their own permit conditions.

Does restoration security guarantee every part of my construction contract?

Do not assume that. This offering identifies highway right-of-way restoration. Read the requested form for the duties secured rather than substituting a general project performance or payment bond.

Is an annual blanket term shown?

No fixed term is displayed. Have ARDOT identify the work and period its requested instrument must cover before completing the application.
