Oregon — DOT Blanket Permit Performance Right Of Way Bond

ODOT's Permit Blanket Performance Bond addresses work performed from time to time under its highway permits. It secures restoration of ODOT right-of-way or property to the condition required by those permits, not general licensing throughout Oregon.

What this bond does

Provide ODOT's continuing permit-related restoration security using its blanket form rather than the separately published single-permit form.

Who needs it
Principals performing recurring work under Oregon Department of Transportation permits on highways or property within ODOT's jurisdiction.
Who it protects
The Department of Transportation is the named beneficiary. The condition requires restoration as specified in the applicable permit; it does not promise payment to every project participant or performance of unrelated private work.

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.

Use the blanket condition for recurring permitted work

ODOT's form 1909 describes work from time to time under permits, including grading, leveling, filling, drainage, paving and pipeline installation. It differs from form 1908, which identifies one permit, activity and highway location.

Ask the responsible ODOT district whether blanket security is appropriate for your work and existing permits. Blanket security does not eliminate separate permission for each activity or establish that a city/county opening is covered.

Obtain the required sum and coverage instructions

Form 1909 leaves the sum blank and does not state an annual renewal date or cancellation-notice period. The catalog option supplies no amount or term either.

Provide the district's written requirement and the principal's legal details. Clarify which permitted work the filing covers and how ODOT handles continuing security, changes and release; do not assume a one-year term from the word blanket.

Apply, issue and file with ODOT

Purchase Now opens Propeller's existing Oregon DOT Blanket Permit Performance Right of Way Bond application. Give the provider ODOT's blanket form and confirmed sum.

Check execution by the principal and authorized surety, then deliver the issued bond as the district instructs. ODOT's permit page assigns utility and miscellaneous permit review to district offices. Obtain applicable permits and other required clearances separately before work.

Questions about this bond

Does blanket mean one permit covers every job?

No. The bond describes work under permits issued from time to time. It does not replace those permits.

Is there a fixed minimum on form 1909?

The posted form leaves the sum blank. Obtain ODOT's requirement for your filing.

Is this the same as an ODOT construction-contract performance bond?

No. This condition secures restoration required by ODOT permits on its ROW or property, not the entire performance of a public construction contract.
