(A) The contractor shall secure written permission of the Director of Public Works prior to the start of any construction operations within a municipal right-of-way. Three sets of approved plans must be submitted with the application at least three working days before work is scheduled to begin.
(B) The permittee shall notify the property owner or resident of adjoining occupied property at least two working days prior to disruption of access to the property, and at no time deny access to the property longer than one normal working day, and shall provide plank for crossings, if necessary.
(C) The permittee shall maintain all existing traffic control signs within the construction area, and shall reset all signs in their original locations as soon as construction operations will permit. The permittee shall place and maintain traffic warning signs during the course of work, as required by the Director of Public Works.
(D) Only rubber-tired equipment shall be used on pavement except that crawler equipment using street pads may be used.
(E) Existing regulations of the County Health Department, as applicable, shall be rigidly observed and enforced. Water or approved dust palliative in sufficient quantities shall be applied during all phases of construction involving open earth work to prevent the unnecessary discharge of dust and dirt into the air.
(F) During the course of work, the permittee shall maintain the work area in a clean and orderly condition. Excess excavation, debris and the like, will not be permitted to accumulate on the road surface or shoulders. Work shall progress in such a manner that no condition such as soft trenches, drop-offs from the edge of pavement and the like, will exist. Upon completion of installation, the permittee shall clean the pavement surface, pull and dress shoulders and otherwise put in order the entire work area to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works. If the work is not completed in a manner acceptable to the Director of Public Works, the utility or any other permittee doing the work will be held responsible and further permits will not be issued pending the completion of the work.
