Confirm the public-space work and responsible applicant

The current Town page requires ROW permission for work in public space, including alleys, sidewalks and bicycle/pedestrian walkways. It says driveway repairs solely on private property do not require this permit, while relocation or work touching a public street, sidewalk, alley/walkway or ROW does. Confirm the actual work limits; other construction permissions may still apply.

The application separates the applicant and owner/company and identifies a contractor applying for another party. The bond forms name the principal/permit applicant and Town of Zionsville and distinguish dirt/street cuts, driveway and parallel/under-road borings. Match the real parties and activities, not just the person uploading plans.

Choose the requested instrument and understand retention

The Town links a single-permit Performance Bond and a multiple-permit Blanket Bond. Both have blank amount fields; the blanket covers additional permits for the named principal under shared aggregate security. Have the ROW Manager identify the accepted instrument, actual sum and any existing security on file, and have the issuer confirm this offering fits.

The posted application states a $1,000 minimum and retention up to three years from completion before Town-authorized release. The current bond forms continue until Town release and take effect at the later of the stated date and Public Works acceptance. Do not treat three years as a guaranteed provider term or assume the permit finish date ends liability.

Submit to the Town and obtain the permit

Purchase Now opens Propeller; the option displays no fixed amount or term. Supply the Town request, legal parties, required sum/date and accepted single/blanket scope. Both posted bond forms require all three pages, notarized principal/surety signatures and surety power of attorney.

The current process sends the application, bond and detailed plans to the ROW Manager physically or by email; the Manager reviews them and issues the permit after approval. Do not import INDOT's EPS filing process into this Town request. Confirm issuance and accepted bond delivery separately from authorization to work.

Follow the actual start/completion notices, restoration and inspection requirements. The application calls for inspections before connections are backfilled/covered and makes restoration acceptance and surety release subject to Town approval. If work remains after permit expiration, the posted application requires a new approved application rather than treating bond continuation as a permit extension.
