Indiana — DOT Single Highway Permit - Broadband Bond
Prepare INDOT broadband security for the actual single permit, fiber owner and installation route. The linked Broadband Guidelines base performance security on installation extent and ROW project cost; their separate $500,000 blanket minimum is not the amount automatically assigned to this offering.

What this bond does
Single-permit State ROW security for the named applicant's actual INDOT Broadband Access installation.
- Who needs it
- The broadband company identified by INDOT's request; its linked guidance places surety in the fiber-owning company's name and identifies an installing subcontractor separately.
- Who it protects
- The current single-permit performance form secures the permitted duties and lawful contractor/vendor/labor claims associated with that permit. Its aggregate liability has a specified court-cost/attorney-fee exception; it is not a guarantee of every private installation contract.

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.

Questions about this bond
Is $10,000 automatically enough for every broadband permit?
No. The currently linked 2018 guide uses different installation-length bands and compares construction costs within State ROW. Obtain INDOT's amount for the actual route rather than treating a starting band as every project's sum.
Should I send a single-permit original to the blanket-bond address?
Current INDOT resources direct performance-bond originals and release requests to the district where work occurs. Blanket bonds use a separate central-office route.
Does issuance mean I can start laying fiber?
No. The form requires State acceptance/EPS entry for effectiveness, and the actual Broadband Access permit and any applicable corridor permission remain separate.
