Term & renewal
Term: Continuous and open-ended — the blanket instrument stands behind every accommodation application it covers, rather than expiring with one permit.
Renewal: Continuous; kept on file with the WSDOT Headquarters Utilities Office and maintained while your accommodation applications remain active.
Filing
Filed with the WSDOT Headquarters Utilities Office in Olympia as blanket security across your utility accommodation applications. The department’s form sets a minimum rather than a fixed figure and WSDOT may require more, so the bond is listed here and the required amount is confirmed when your program of work is reviewed. WSDOT also accepts an escrow agreement or a government entity pool in place of a surety bond. Companion instrument: the individual bond, which secures a single agreement or permit instead of a program. Authority is WSDOT DOT Form 224-012 under the department’s utility accommodation program.
