What it is and who needs it.
What the blanket bond actually secures
New Mexico's Commissioner of Public Lands (the State Land Office) grants rights of way and easements across state trust land — for pipelines, power lines, roads, and similar uses. Those uses can damage surface improvements, so the office requires security for that damage and for the holder's performance.
Rather than bond every right of way separately, a holder may at its option use a single $25,000 blanket bond to secure surface improvement damage and performance as holder under one or more state rights of way or easements executed with the commissioner.
The bond is held for the benefit of the state and surface owners: if a holder damages surface improvements or fails to perform and does not make it right, the office can recover against the bond. If the surety pays, you repay the surety — it is security, not insurance for you.
