What this bond does

This offering is for a Madison County, Ohio right-of-way permit bond request. The county's utility and broadband packet addresses road work, restoration security and the separate permit process; other work may need different county direction.

Who needs it
The utility applicant or installing contractor preparing covered Madison County road-right-of-way work, with the correct principal confirmed by the County Engineer.
Who it protects
The packet's bond condition addresses lawful entry, pavement restoration, debris removal and defects in work and affected facilities. Its aggregate surety obligation is limited to the penal sum, with payments reducing that amount.

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.

Get the project security calculation

The utility/broadband packet asks for one application per road, the utility and installing contractor, after-hours contact, plans, work method and schedule. The requirements specify a $5,000 minimum for projects under half a mile, with additional security based on project length and other work details.

Aerial work, existing poles, underground installation, pavement removal and unpaved work have distinct provisions. Give the Engineer the actual dimensions and method and obtain the total required sum rather than treating $5,000 as enough for every project. The bond form leaves the obligee and sum to be completed; confirm the exact names and amount.

Resolve the different one-year provisions

The application says permits are valid for six calendar months and the bond remains active for one year after final inspection approval. The requirements section instead describes one year from project completion or Engineer release.

The included bond form describes certain defects arising within one year of its stated effective date. Those starting points are different. Ask the Engineer and provider to confirm the accepted wording, effective period and release conditions in writing; do not assume buying a one-year instrument resolves all three provisions.

Apply with the agreed form, then file it

Purchase Now opens Propeller's Madison County Right of Way Permit Bond application. Supply the county's confirmed instrument, principal, obligee, sum and dates. The packet's form requires a power of attorney attached to be valid; review that attachment with the issued bond before filing.

The packet calls for the bond copy with the application and two business days' notice before construction, followed by contact at completion for final inspection and permit closure. It permits surety cancellation on 30 days' written notice while preserving earlier accrued losses up to the bond limit. Cancellation, permit closure and bond release are not the same event.

Questions about this bond

Is $5,000 sufficient for every Madison County ROW project?

No. The utility/broadband requirements state a minimum for shorter projects and additional length and work-related provisions. Have the Engineer confirm the required total.

Does the packet give one clear starting date for the bond year?

No. Its application, requirements and bond form use final-inspection approval, completion and effective-date wording respectively. Obtain written confirmation of the accepted condition and duration.

Does the six-month permit period end the bond?

No. The packet separately addresses continuing bond obligations and release. Do not treat permit expiration or closure as automatic release.

What attachment does the bond form require?

The packet says a power of attorney must be attached for the bond to be valid. Check the issued document and required attachment before filing.
