Missouri bonds

Missouri — Highway And Transportation Commission Right Of Way Performance Bond

Match this statewide offering to MoDOT-controlled ROW, not a City or County road bond. MoDOT may require performance security for permitted work and requires a bond in the utility company's current legal name for utility electronic-permitting access. Its own form covers permit work by the named principal and surety, rather than one generic contractor licence.

What this bond does

Provide the Commission with MoDOT's accepted performance security for facilities/work on state-highway ROW.

Who needs it
The actual named principal for MoDOT work; for utility electronic-permitting access, the utility company in its current legal name rather than an assumed contractor substitute.
Who it protects
The MoDOT form addresses designated facilities installation, written tree/shrub-cutting permission, safe highway use and noninterference with maintenance. It is not a payment bond or municipal permit.

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.

MoDOT's permit page covers driveway construction/modification, excavation, landscaping, traffic control and other state ROW activities. It distinguishes initial requests for planned activity from utility installation/maintenance electronic permitting.

Utility companies and delegated representatives use the utility system, but the required access bond is in the utility company's current legal name. Establish the principal and road jurisdiction before asking for an issued document.

MoDOT's selected instructions require its own form, not another bond style, and one form for all permit work conducted by the named principal and surety. The sum is entered, not a universal figure printed on that form. Obtain the assigned amount and actual work request.

Choose the actual MoDOT execution route

The paper instructions call for original signatures and surety seal, principal acknowledgment, power of attorney and applicable Missouri licence/countersignature documentation. Follow the accepted instructions for the principal's legal structure and surety signatory.

The separately linked electronic initiation form asks for authorized principal and surety signatories and any required countersigner. MoDOT then prepares a DocuSign form, with further bond/contact, licence and power-of-attorney information required. It is not a statement that any scanned paper bond can be uploaded as an executed electronic bond.

Purchase Now opens Propeller, with no fixed sum or term supplied. Match the issuer's instrument and execution route with MoDOT, arrange the required submission, and obtain the actual permit before work. The public electronic initiation form is separate from the provider application.

Separate bond notice from permit and work closeout

The actual paper form states a period not exceeding five years from its date and a 90-day written surety termination/cancellation notice to the Chief Engineer. Those clauses are not proof of a fixed five-year provider option or a deadline measured from each individual permit.

MoDOT's permit page separately addresses notice before lane closures, keeping the permit/approved plans on site, contact with the local Traffic Specialist and final inspection. Follow the current actual permit conditions rather than treating issuance as permission to begin.

The page describes security refund/release after inspection and acceptance. Because the form covers the named parties' permit work, confirm outstanding work and the actual release/continuation with MoDOT; one completed job does not justify assuming all continuing security is closed.

Questions about this bond

Can the working contractor automatically replace the utility company as principal?

No. MoDOT expressly requires the utility access bond in the utility company's current legal name. Match the actual requirement.

Is MoDOT's electronic route just a scan upload?

The linked form initiates MoDOT preparation of a DocuSign instrument for authorized signatories. Follow that route or the paper instructions rather than assuming scanned paper is accepted.

Does the maximum five-year form provision set this purchase term?

No. This provider option has no fixed term supplied. Use the accepted instrument and actual assigned dates, including its notice conditions.

Does finishing one permit job release every obligation?

Do not assume so. The instructions cover all permit work by the named principal and surety. Confirm remaining work and release with MoDOT.
