Grand Traverse County, MI — Right Of Way Bond

Grand Traverse County Road Commission's general ROW application calls for cash, an irrevocable letter of credit or a bond in its accepted form and assigned amount at permit issuance. Identify the correct work package first; utility terms are separate, and a County permit is not permission for an MDOT highway.

What this bond does

Grand Traverse County Road Commission, Michigan security for the identified county-road ROW work, occupation, maintenance or temporary closure.

Who needs it
The adjacent owner or authorized representative, or authorized utility representative, with the actual contractor and authority to apply documented.
Who it protects
The accepted instrument concerns the specified Commission permit and restoration obligations. It does not transfer property rights, authorize undescribed work or substitute for every other agency's permission.

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.

Identify the applicant, contractor and correct road

The current ROW page distinguishes driveways, utilities and general ROW uses including events. It requires owner authorization when another person or contractor performs work for the owner and says utility permits are not issued until a contractor is named. Confirm the actual package and applicant before arranging security.

The selected general application covers work, occupation, maintenance or temporary closure and requires a Commission-acceptable cash deposit, irrevocable LOC or bond at issuance. The separately selected utility conditions describe cash/LOC if required. If your request uses that utility package, have the Commission confirm surety acceptance rather than assuming the general clause overrides it.

The current page directs MDOT-highway applicants to the State process. A county address or township land-use application alone does not establish Commission road jurisdiction or work permission.

Use the actual ROW process and signed permit

Purchase Now opens Propeller. The option displays no fixed amount or term. Match the Commission's actual form, applicant/recipient, assigned sum, scope and dates with the issuer, arrange execution and accepted filing, and obtain the signed permit. The general application does not establish a universal bond minimum or annual term.

The current applications page gives a dedicated permitting email for electronic ROW communications and identifies Oxcart for transporting-goods permits. Do not assume transportation's portal is the required route for every ROW application. Contractor insurance is a separate prerequisite.

The general form requires start notice at least 48 hours before work, completion notice and any additional directions. Keep the permit/approved plans available and obtain the required inspections, restoration acceptance and security release. Where a facility remains, confirm its continuing obligations rather than assuming the work-end date releases all security.

Questions about this bond

Can a contractor apply without owner authority?

The selected application requires documented authority when applying for an owner or utility, and the current page calls for owner authorization when another person performs the owner's work.

Does the general bond clause prove surety is accepted for every utility?

No. Separate selected utility terms describe cash/LOC. Ask the Commission which package and instrument it accepts for your actual utility request.

Is Oxcart the stated route for every ROW permit?

The current page expressly assigns Oxcart to transporting-goods permits and gives separate electronic permitting instructions. Follow the process for the actual ROW category and obtain its signed permit.
