Bay County, MI — Highway Permit - Operation And Maintenance Bond
For operation or maintenance of a facility in a Bay County road right-of-way, identify the facility operator and the permits covering the ongoing work. A utility company's annual blanket permit does not automatically authorize its subcontractor, and an annual permit is not a stated bond term.

Questions about this bond
May a subcontractor use the utility company's blanket permit?
The current selected schedule says utility subcontractors must apply for their own yearly blanket permit and cannot operate under the utility company's permit.
Does an annual permit establish a one-year bond term?
No. The option displays no fixed term. Confirm the required bond continuation and dates separately from the yearly work permit.
Is the form's one-year repair guarantee the whole maintenance obligation?
That clause addresses construction/restoration defects after Commission acceptance. It does not define all ongoing facility work or establish release of this operation/maintenance instrument.
