Specify the activity and any separate road permissions

INDOT's miscellaneous program addresses State-ROW uses without another specific permit type. Its current categories include banners, geotechnical investigations, lane/road closures and public art or landscaping. Describe what will happen, where and for how long; have staff choose the actual category rather than entering Other without a work description.

The current resources separately list a Hold Harmless Form for diverting traffic off a State road onto a city or county road. A blanket bond is not that document or local traffic authority. Coordinate the actual detour, plans and any additional permission requested; do not assume State bond acceptance approves a municipal street closure.

Match covered permits and complete State acceptance

INDOT's current three-page Blanket Bond has a Miscellaneous / Other checkbox and description field and can identify other categories that INDOT accepts. It covers the named principal's permits under the accepted scope, not every project of an affiliated sponsor or hired contractor. The surety amount is aggregate across covered permits; obtain INDOT's actual required sum rather than assuming a fresh full amount for each activity.

Purchase Now opens Propeller; the option displays no fixed amount or term. Complete all three accepted form pages, the principal/surety notarizations and surety power of attorney. INDOT requires a PDF in EPS and original signed/notarized documents, with blanket originals sent under its central Permits instructions. Confirm the provider's MAIL handling rather than assuming it completes both filing steps.

The form takes effect at the later of its stated date and INDOT acceptance/EPS entry, then continues until State release. Obtain each actual permit and any separate traffic/space permission before work. Ending one event or closure is not automatic blanket release; use the published release-request process when appropriate.
