Utah — DOT Statewide Encroachment And Right Of Way Bond

UDOT publishes a continuous multiple-encroachment bond for permitted work on its property and state highway right-of-way. Match this statewide-named offering to that form and the covered principal's work; it does not eliminate individual work permits or replace a utility owner's license agreement.

What this bond does

Provides UDOT with continuous multiple-use security for completion, restoration and warranty obligations arising from covered encroachment permits.

Who needs it
Contractors arranging security for multiple UDOT encroachments rather than one identified single-use installation.
Who it protects
The multiple-use bond names UDOT as obligee, covers the principal's permitted work and affected state property, and limits aggregate surety liability to its penal sum.

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.

Multiple-use security is not a statewide work permit

UDOT's linked form expressly covers multiple encroachments. It incorporates the permits and secures completion of their work, restoration of damage caused to state right-of-way and a three-year warranty from completion.

Each proposed installation still needs the applicable permit and plans. A utility owner's Statewide Utility License Agreement is a separate prior approval listed by UDOT; do not substitute this contractor bond for that agreement or assume their securities are interchangeable.

Read the continuous and cancellation provisions

The form is continuous and remains effective for work performed under permits before termination. It allows the surety to cancel by certified written notice to UDOT, effective 90 days after UDOT receives that notice.

That withdrawal provision does not erase covered prior work or its warranty. The surety's aggregate liability is limited to the bond's penal sum; multiple permits do not automatically create a fresh limit for each project.

Confirm the amount and covered business before applying

The current form leaves the amount to be entered, and UDOT's permit page says the required amount may exceed the minimum according to scope risk. Obtain the region's current written instructions for the multiple-use instrument, principal and amount rather than selecting a value from an older search result.

Use the existing Propeller Purchase Now application after the form match is confirmed. Provide the issued bond with the required permit documents, list covered subcontractors as directed and obtain each work permit. Contact the inspector at least 24 hours before mobilizing.

Questions about this bond

Does this bond allow work anywhere in Utah?

No. It concerns covered UDOT encroachments on state property and right-of-way. Individual permits and applicable local or other approvals remain necessary.

Does the bond renew at the end of each project?

The published multiple-use form is continuous, not a fixed project-expiration form. Its cancellation and surviving-work provisions govern; provider billing arrangements do not replace those terms.

Does a cancellation notice end all warranty responsibility?

No. The form remains effective for covered work performed before termination and requires a three-year warranty from completion. Its 90-day notice provision does not remove those obligations.

Is this the utility owner's SULA?

No. UDOT lists the Statewide Utility License Agreement as a separate approval obtained and maintained by the utility company. Confirm each required document for the project.
