Switzerland County, IN — Street Cut Permit Bond

Switzerland County's posted road-cut section ties security to the actual County-controlled operation, with $2,000 for specified paved crossings/excavations up to 40 square feet. It has important exceptions and different work, maintenance and bond clocks; confirm the Highway request rather than using $2,000 for every activity.

What this bond does

County-requested security for the actual permitted Switzerland County road cut/restoration obligation.

Who needs it
The person, firm or company applying for the covered County work, with any governmental, regulated-utility or other exception checked before ordering.
Who it protects
The posted section secures restoration, including affected underground structures, and continuing duties after covered work. Broad applicant injury/damage responsibility is not proof of unlimited surety coverage.

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.

Check the qualifying cut and applicant before choosing the sum

Posted §92.03 addresses disturbance of County-controlled public space and requires Highway application/approval. Its bond provisions specify $2,000 for each qualifying paved-road/street/alley crossing or pavement excavation not exceeding 40 square feet. Obtain the actual sum for the proposed dimensions, surfaces and operation rather than extrapolating the line to larger or different work.

The section excludes certain County-directed contracts, private entrances/driveways, sidewalk and landscaping work; governmental and regulated-utility exceptions differ. Its pole/appurtenance exception for IURC-regulated utilities is not a blanket exemption for every utility excavation. Highway can identify the applicable permit/security or accepted alternative, including Board-approved financial security or a qualifying utility indemnity arrangement.

Separate the 90-day work period from post-work obligations

The posted section calls for an ordinary application at least ten days before work and Highway notice before starting. Work/repair is to finish within 90 days of permit issuance unless Highway extends it. It separately describes one-year surface maintenance and a bond remaining in force three years from completion to address hidden underground damage.

Purchase Now opens Propeller; the option displays no fixed amount or term. Match the actual accepted County instrument, applicant/recipient, assigned sum and covered work/dates with the issuer. The section requires filed and Superintendent-approved security before permit issuance; arrange actual execution/filing rather than relying on a payment receipt.

Obtain the approved work permission and follow actual traffic, locates, restoration and inspection directions. Preserve the completion/acceptance and release or continuation record; a 90-day permit or one-year surface duty does not shorten the stated three-year security condition.

No. The posted clause describes qualifying paved crossings/excavations up to 40 square feet. Obtain Highway's actual request for the operation and size.

No universal exemption is stated. Regulated utility-pole work, other utility work and governmental applicants have different provisions; confirm the actual case.

Does the 90-day work permit establish the bond period?

No. The posted section separates work completion, surface maintenance and three-year post-completion security. No fixed provider term is displayed.
