Bloomington, IN — Street Cut Permit Bond

Prepare Bloomington's Street Cut request around the actual surface opening and approved restoration. Identify any associated closure or occupation separately; security for a cut is not itself permission to restrict traffic or use adjacent public space.

What this bond does

City-requested security for the actual Bloomington street-cut permit and its accepted work/restoration conditions.

Who needs it
The legal principal named in Engineering's request, coordinated with the utility owner, contractor and actual permit applicant.
Who it protects
The accepted City bond defines the secured permit/compliance or City-loss duties. It does not guarantee all private construction payments or replace the approved cutting and restoration instructions.

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.

Describe the opening and its public-space impacts

Provide the street/location, cut limits, actual work purpose and affected traffic or pedestrian access. Bloomington distinguishes street cuts from push/bore activity, storage and closures, although a project may involve more than one use. Have Engineering identify the required permissions for the full operation.

Obtain the City's actual approved backfill, surface-repair and inspection direction. Do not import another county's bore depth, patch specification or maintenance period into a Bloomington cut. Apply through Civic Access; the current City process no longer accepts the paper application and calls for an appropriate bond, insurance, temporary traffic plan and site plan.

Use the accepted instrument, not a sample term

The City links two ROW examples with different continuation/cancellation provisions: one has an end-date/continuation arrangement and 35-day mailed notice; the other is continuous with 30-day notice from receipt. Confirm the actual street-cut amount and accepted wording rather than treating either sample as this product's term.

Purchase Now opens Propeller's Street Cut offering; the option displays no fixed amount or term. Supply the actual principal/City recipient, assigned sum/date, form and work description. Arrange execution and City filing separately from permit approval and the approved traffic arrangement.

Coordinate completion/restoration and inspections with Engineering, then obtain any required release or continuation direction. A finished patch or reopened lane does not independently establish the issued bond's expiration.

Questions about this bond

Does buying Street Cut security authorize a road closure?

No. Describe the actual traffic/pedestrian restrictions and obtain the City's approved arrangement and required permissions separately.

Can a county-road repair specification be used automatically?

No. Obtain Engineering's actual Bloomington cutting/restoration direction for the approved project rather than substituting another authority's standard.

Does the final patch date cancel the bond?

Do not assume that. The City's examples differ and the option supplies no fixed term. Follow the accepted instrument and actual inspection/release or continuation conditions.
