(a) The Director of Public Service shall establish procedures by which written applications requesting the City's assistance for sidewalk replacement projects may be initiated. The application shall contain the description of the proposed project, and project area, to include the full names of the owners, street addresses, lot numbers and front footage amounts of each parcel of real property adjoining the project area, the signatures of the title owners of each parcel of real property, the name and address of the licensed general sidewalk contractor for the project, who has the contractual authority to contract with the City and the general contractor for the completion of the project.
(b) The City's participation shall require the procurement of three price quotations from City licensed sidewalk contractors. This requirement may be waived by the Service Director or designee. Fifty percent (50%) of the lowest approved quote shall be reimbursed to the property owner upon satisfactory completion of the project and the submission of the contractor's invoice as approved by the City Engineering Department.
(c) The property owner may choose to pay the contractor directly and receive a fifty percent (50%) reimbursement from the City upon satisfactory completion of the project or the City can pay the contractor directly and assess the property's owner's fifty percent (50%) share of the cost at zero percent (0%) interest, to be paid semi-annually, to the property's owner's tax bill for a period of five (5) years. Either process is contingent upon approval of the project and the contractor's invoice by City Engineering.
