What this bond does

County-requested security for the actual Jefferson County, Indiana ROW work and its accepted restoration/maintenance conditions.

Who needs it
The contractor/utility applicant, coordinated with the property/facility owner and any subcontractor identified in the County application.
Who it protects
The accepted County bond defines secured ROW duties and liability. The applicant's traffic, restoration and indemnity responsibilities do not establish unlimited surety protection or coverage of unrelated private work.

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.

Show the operation, restrictions and assigned security

The posted application distinguishes road, alley, shoulder, ROW and easement locations, with cut, bore, trench, aerial and other operations. Give the owner/contractor/utility roles, surfaces, work dimensions and dates. Lane restrictions need a maintenance-of-traffic plan; a road closure needs a detour plan and separate closure-permit approval.

The terms describe a $2,000 minimum permit bond, with Administrator discretion up to 10% of project cost. The packet's example operation schedule has placeholder values, not an assigned sum. Obtain the actual County calculation and required instrument rather than ordering from a placeholder or assuming the minimum always suffices.

Resolve maintenance before arranging the replacement bond

The posted terms call for a $10,000 maintenance bond held at least five years from completion and until written acceptance. The final instructions instead call for a three-year maintenance bond after work acceptance and warn of drawing the original permit security if it is not supplied. Have the County reconcile the actual instrument, amount, period and release conditions in writing.

Its one-year permit expiration after formal Commissioners approval is another separate clock—not the provider term or maintenance release. The conditions also address work-start/completion notice, restoration and County approval of temporary/final repairs; completing construction does not alone release surety security.

File accepted security and obtain the signed permit

Purchase Now opens Propeller; the option displays no fixed amount or term. Match the actual principal, Jefferson County obligee, form, assigned sum/dates and permit versus maintenance scope. One generic ROW purchase does not prove that both instruments are supplied.

The posted process permits an electronic application with attachments merged into one PDF or County delivery, but separately directs original permit bonds to Jefferson County. Confirm the actual delivery/acceptance route, complete Highway review and Commissioners approval, and obtain the signed permit before relying on work permission.

Follow the actual notices, approved changes, restoration and final inspection, then obtain the County-confirmed maintenance/release or continuation arrangement.

Questions about this bond

Is the posted maintenance requirement three years or five?

The packet differs: its terms specify $10,000 held at least five years and until written acceptance; its final instructions request a three-year maintenance bond. Obtain the County's written direction rather than choosing one.

Does the one-year permit establish the bond's duration?

No. That clock runs from formal permit approval. Permit security, separate maintenance and the actual issued document have distinct conditions.

Does an online application replace original bond delivery?

The packet separately calls for original permit bonds to Jefferson County. Confirm actual acceptance instructions even when submitting the application electronically.
