NCDOT may require a performance and indemnity bond as a condition of a highway encroachment agreement, to indemnify the Department for damage to the right-of-way. Form R/W 16 is the second-party (encroaching applicant) version, filed by the owner or utility rather than the contractor. NCDOT leaves the choice of who posts the bond to the applicants. Confirm the amount on your encroachment agreement.
