The requirement of posting a bond shall not apply to the owners of improved properties who install curbs, gutters or sidewalks along city streets or easements joining or crossing their properties. In order to qualify for this exemption, said owner shall obtain a permit pursuant to this chapter, prepay any city inspection fees and execute written agreements holding the city harmless and indemnifying the city from any claims or losses arising from such work. The agreement shall further obligate said owners to cause the work to be performed in accordance with city standards, and shall authorize the city to remove, and require said owners forthwith to replace at their expense, any nonconforming curbs, gutters, or sidewalks. The permit fee set forth in section 12.04.060 of this chapter may be waived by the city engineer provided all other inspection fees are paid. (Ord. 363 §2, 1991)
