What is this bond?

The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) Single Highway Permit Broadband Bond is a type of right-of-way surety bond. It guarantees that contractors installing broadband infrastructure along or within state highway rights-of-way will complete the work safely and properly restore the area. If the contractor causes damage or abandons the project, the bond provides financial compensation to the state to cover necessary repairs.

Who needs it?

Telecommunications companies, utility contractors, and broadband service providers typically need this bond when working on state infrastructure. It is generally required for any entity seeking a permit from the Indiana Department of Transportation to perform broadband installation on a specific highway segment. Requirements vary, so always verify your specific permitting needs with the issuing agency before starting work.

Why is it required?

The Indiana Department of Transportation requires this bond to protect public roadways and taxpayer funds from substandard utility work or abandoned projects. It ensures the state is not left with the financial burden of repairing highways or restoring rights-of-way damaged during broadband installation. By requiring the bond, the obligee guarantees that contractors will comply with all state engineering and safety standards.
