No person shall excavate in a public right-of-way without, in addition to all other requirements of this code, having first paid to the City a pavement trench cut fee. The City Council shall, by Council resolution, set forth the specific amount of the fee. The amount of this pavement trench cut fee may be modified from time to time by resolution, and shall not exceed the reasonable cost necessary to mitigate the degradation to the public streets caused by such excavation. The Department shall perform bi-annual condition surveys of all City streets and determine the PCI for each street. A PCI rating shall be assigned to discrete segments of a street. The PCI report shall be published on the bi-annual basis and made available for public review. PCI rating may be subject to field inspection by the Department for final determination between publishing and/or discrepancies. The pavement trench cut fee is in addition to and not intended to eliminate or replace the pavement restoration requirements in the Public Works Trench Replacement Standard Plan No. 132. (Ord. 6536 § 1 (part); September 27, 2022.)
