What this bond does
Provide the City's requested permit security for work within the two-to-fifty-location category. The recipient is the City of New York acting through its Department of Transportation, not the State Department of Transportation.
- Who needs it
- A legal permittee arranging DOT work at two to fifty locations during the requested coverage period. Assemble the anticipated sites and activities so DOT can identify the correct category before the bond is executed.
- Who it protects
- The official form addresses permitted-work compliance, protection and restoration of City property, completion or repair, and specified City costs and liabilities. It does not authorize work at those sites or replace the required insurance.

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.

Questions about this bond
Is this a State NYSDOT bond?
No. This guidance concerns the City of New York acting through NYC DOT. State-highway work uses different State requirements and instruments.
Does fifty permits necessarily mean fifty locations?
Do not assume so. Confirm DOT's classification of the actual sites and activities. The published categories are expressed in locations, not automatically the number of permit documents.
Can I use the $25,000 building-operations form instead?
Only if DOT identifies that different category for the work. The current two-to-fifty-location form states $50,000; the $25,000 template is expressly for building-operations permits only.
