EXCAVATIONS AND CONSTRUCTION
(A) Each permit for making an opening shall be confined to a single project and shall be issued by the authorized city official.
(B) Application shall include the exact location of the proposed opening, the kind of paving, the area and depth to be excavated, and such other facts as may be deemed appropriate.
(C) The permit shall be issued only after a cash deposit sufficient to cover the cost of restoration has been posted with the city, conditioned upon prompt and satisfactory refilling of excavations and restoration of all surfaces disturbed.
(1992 Code, § 98.02)
(A) The opening and restoration of a pavement or other surface shall be performed under the direction and to the satisfaction of the city, and in accordance with rules, regulations and specifications approved by the legislative body.
(B) Upon failure or refusal of the permittee satisfactorily to fill the excavation, restore the surface and remove all excess materials within the time specified in the permit or where not specified therein, within a reasonable time after commencement of the work, the city may proceed without notice to make such fill and restoration and the deposit referred to in § 96.02 shall be forfeited. Thereupon, the deposit shall be paid into the appropriate city fund, except such part demanded and paid to the permittee as the difference between the deposit and the charges of the city for restoration services performed by it. If the amount of such services performed by the city should exceed the amount of the deposit, the City Clerk-Treasurer or other proper administrative officer shall proceed to collect the remainder due from the permittee.
(1992 Code, § 98.03)
Any person engaged in or employing others in excavating or otherwise in any manner obstructing a portion or all of any street, sidewalk, alley or other public way, at all times during the night season shall install and maintain at least two illuminated red lamps which shall be securely and conspicuously posted on, at or near each end of the obstruction or excavation, and if the space involved exceeds 50 feet in extent, at least one additional lamp for each added 50 feet or portion thereof excavated or obstructed.
(1992 Code, § 98.05)
