Questions about this bond
Is this automatically the blanket bond?
No. PennDOT separately identifies M-950K1 as the blanket form. Use the instrument and scope the Department requests.
Does the two-year period start when I purchase?
The cited form relates that period to Department acknowledgement of completion, after the work period. The option does not state a fixed purchase-based term.
Can cancellation erase earlier obligations?
The form preserves prior liabilities and includes both notice and written-permission provisions. Confirm the applicable termination and discharge requirements with PennDOT and the provider.
