What this bond does

State of Indiana security for the named applicant's actual single INDOT ROW permit and its accepted work conditions.

Who needs it
The legal principal required by INDOT's permit request, coordinated with the owner, utility or contractor responsible for the identified work.
Who it protects
The current State performance form conditions permitted-work performance and lawful contractor/vendor/labor claims for the covered permit. Its aggregate/cost provisions do not establish a new full limit for unrelated future permits or every private project duty.

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 State permit and actual occupancy category

Confirm INDOT controls the road/ROW and identify the permit reference, location and work limits. The State form distinguishes Occupancy Above Ground and Below Ground from Broadband Access, Driveway and Miscellaneous / Other. Right of Way in this offering's label does not select a checkbox or replace the description of the actual activity.

The current Performance Bond is expressly for single-permit use. It names the principal/permit applicant and State of Indiana, with amount and effective-date fields to complete from the accepted request. Obtain the actual sum and wording; a separate broadband schedule, local-road requirement or blanket amount is not automatically this permit's security.

File the complete document and obtain permission

Purchase Now opens Propeller; the option displays no fixed amount or term. Arrange all three current form pages, notarized principal and surety signatures and the surety power of attorney. INDOT's current instructions require an EPS PDF and original signed/notarized documents, with performance originals submitted to the district where the work will take place.

The form takes effect at the later of its stated date and INDOT acceptance/EPS entry and continues until State release. Keep that bond acceptance separate from the actual ROW permit, work coordination, inspections and completion. Use the published district release-request route when appropriate; neither a provider receipt nor a construction finish date proves release.

If the request instead concerns multiple permits for the same principal, have INDOT identify its blanket instrument and applicable filing route. Do not treat one single-permit purchase as permission for later jobs or send its original to the central blanket office merely because both forms concern ROW.

Questions about this bond

Does the ROW label identify the exact State work category?

No. Match the actual permit to the State's above/below-ground occupancy or other accepted category. The legal applicant, location and work limits must agree with the request.

Can this single-permit document cover all later jobs?

It is expressly a single-permit form. INDOT separately lists a blanket instrument for multiple permits; have the agency identify the security needed for future work.

Does finishing construction establish expiration?

The current State form continues until State release. Follow the actual permit's completion/inspection duties and district release instructions rather than assuming a fixed annual term or automatic end date.
