What this bond does

Secure performance of and compliance with the terms of the identified Nevada DOT occupancy permit, including the work needed to meet those terms.

Who needs it
The permittee responsible for facilities or improvements in NDOT-controlled right-of-way, with any property owner, utility and agent roles identified.
Who it protects
The standard instrument supports permit compliance, safeguarding, indemnity and the cost of completing the permitted work. It is specific to NDOT occupancy, not a statewide contractor-license qualification.

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 highway facility and responsible district

NDOT's occupancy process includes permanent utility installations and other approved facilities or improvements in State highway right-of-way. Identify the highway, milepost, district, proposed installation and construction stages. A local street or purely temporary use may require a different authority or permit.

District 1's current permit index selects the occupancy terms containing Appendix C, the standard performance bond. It names the permittee as principal, the State of Nevada as recipient and the specific occupancy permit. Obtain the responsible district's current instructions rather than assuming one district's application packet applies everywhere.

Issue the assigned security, then complete permit activation

The standard bond's amount is blank, and this Propeller option lists no fixed sum or term. Use the district's assigned security requirement. The form incorporates the occupancy-permit terms and says changes or extensions do not by themselves affect the surety's obligation; it does not publish a universal renewal date.

Give the issuer the accepted form, permittee name, sum and permit identification. Appendix C also calls for attorney-in-fact authority certificates to be on file with NDOT and the Nevada Insurance Commissioner. Confirm the required execution and filing before relying on the bond.

NDOT's permit guidance requires approved plans and applicable traffic-control arrangements before work. After permit approval, contact the permit office to activate the permit and arrange the preconstruction meeting. Bond issuance does not replace those steps, other required agency permits or NDOT's completion acceptance.

Questions about this bond

What is the minimum bond amount?

The standard Appendix C form leaves the sum blank, and the purchase option has no fixed amount. Obtain the district's amount for your permit rather than assuming one statewide minimum.

Is temporary use the same as permanent occupancy?

No. NDOT distinguishes standard occupancy installations from temporary activities that may use a different permit at the Department's discretion. Ask the district which process covers the proposed work.

Can work start as soon as the bond is issued?

No. Complete NDOT approval, required plans and traffic control, permit activation and preconstruction arrangements. The bond provides security; it does not activate the permit.
