New Hampshire — DOT Right Of Way Permit Bond
NHDOT now calls its excavation-permit process Right of Way Activities. It covers disturbance of State-highway shoulders, ditches, embankments or pavement, and work within limited-access divided-highway ROW. Match the bond request to that activity and the responsible NHDOT office; utility work has additional published surety requirements.

Questions about this bond
Is the old excavation-permit name still the current category?
NHDOT's current page calls it Right of Way Activities and notes that it was formerly Excavation Permits. Use the current category and office instructions.
Does the utility manual set the terms for every ROW bond?
No. The manual addresses utility and railroad accommodation. Confirm its applicability and the accepted instrument for your particular activity, especially non-utility work.
Does this purchase option already include NHDOT's amount and duration?
No fixed amount or term is listed. Obtain the responsible office's requirement and have the provider confirm the correct project or continuing form before issuance.
