What this bond does

State of Indiana security for the named applicant's covered INDOT ROW permits under an accepted multiple-permit blanket form.

Who needs it
The legal principal whose INDOT permits will be covered, coordinated with the utility owner, contractor or other responsible parties for the actual work.
Who it protects
The current blanket form conditions performance and lawful contractor/vendor/labor claims for covered permits. Security is aggregate, with a specified court-cost/attorney-fee exception, rather than a separate full amount for every job.

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.

Record the actual activity and covered applicant

INDOT's form distinguishes Occupancy Above Ground and Below Ground from Broadband Access, Driveway and Miscellaneous / Other. Get the actual permit type and work limits from INDOT before completing the issuer's application. A broad ROW label does not establish that every activity is accepted under this particular offering.

The blanket binds the named principal to the State of Indiana for its covered permits, including additional permits issued later. Match the legal entity and accepted categories; do not assume a parent company, subcontractor or affiliated utility automatically shares another principal's security. Separate any local-road or private-property permission requested for the project.

Match the shared security and complete both filing steps

Obtain INDOT's actual required amount for the covered work and permits. The current form has blank amount and effective-date fields and applies aggregate surety liability, with its stated collection-cost exception. Do not import a broadband-specific minimum into every occupancy request or infer an annual expiration.

Purchase Now opens Propeller; the option displays no fixed amount or term. Arrange the current three-page form, both notarized signature pages and surety power of attorney. INDOT's resources require a PDF in EPS and original signed/notarized documents, with blanket originals submitted to the central Permits office. Confirm who handles each delivery step; MAIL does not prove that the issuer completes them.

The form becomes effective at the later of the stated date and INDOT acceptance/EPS entry and continues until State release. Each actual permit remains necessary. Track outstanding covered work and use INDOT's published release-request process instead of treating completion of one site as blanket cancellation.

Questions about this bond

Does Right of Way identify the State's exact permit checkbox?

No. The current form separately identifies above-ground and below-ground occupancy, broadband, driveway and miscellaneous uses. Have INDOT and the issuer match the actual accepted category.

Does the full amount apply separately to every permit?

The blanket form describes aggregate liability across covered permits, with its specified collection-cost exception. Obtain enough required security for the actual covered obligations rather than assuming a fresh full limit for each job.

Does mailing the bond authorize work?

No. Current guidance requires EPS and original-document filing; the form also requires INDOT acceptance/EPS entry for effectiveness. Obtain each actual permit before work and follow State release instructions.
