(A) Except as noted in this subchapter, each applicant, before being issued a permit, shall provide the city with an acceptable corporate surety bond in the amount to be established by resolution to guarantee faithful performance of the work authorized by a permit granted pursuant to this subchapter. The amount of the bond required may be increased or decreased at the discretion of the Public Works Department whenever it appears that the amount and cost of the work to be performed, and not satisfactorily completed, may vary from the amount of bond otherwise required under this subchapter. The form of the bond and the entity issuing the bond shall be subject to the approval of the City Attorney.
(B) Public utilities franchised by the city shall not be required to file a corporate surety bond if such requirement is expressly waived in the franchise documents.
(C) The bond required by this section shall be conditioned as follows:
(1) The permittee shall fully comply with the requirements of the city ordinances and regulations, specifications and standards promulgated by the city relative to work in the public way, and respond to the city in damages for failure to conform therewith;
(2) After work is commenced, the permittee shall proceed with diligence and expedition and shall promptly complete such work and restore the public way to construction specifications, so as not to obstruct the public place or travel thereon more than is reasonably necessary; and
(3) The permittee shall guarantee the materials and workmanship pursuant to the Brigham City Public Works Standards.
