IN DOT blanket permit bonds.
Flat 3%. Enter your amount.
If you work in INDOT right of way often, a blanket highway permit lets you cover ongoing miscellaneous work under one bond instead of bonding each job. INDOT sets the penal sum — we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check, and the original is mailed to you to sign and file.

What it is and who needs it.
What the blanket permit bond covers
Contractors and utilities who work in INDOT right of way repeatedly can use a blanket highway permit instead of pulling and bonding a single permit for every job. The blanket bond stands behind all the miscellaneous work you do under that permit over its term.
Like the single-permit bonds, it guarantees you will complete the permitted work and restore the right of way to its proper condition. If work under any covered permit is left unfinished or damages the highway, INDOT can recover against the blanket bond.
This bond is handled by mail: INDOT wants a wet-ink original, so we mail it to you to sign as Principal before you file it with INDOT as obligee. INDOT sets the penal sum; we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
