If any openings or excavations are for a purpose other than pursuant to a contract with the City, the applicant shall pay to the Division of Utilities, or its duly appointed designee, a permit fee of fifty dollars ($50.00) and shall post either five hundred dollars ($500.00) cash or a surety bond in the amount of five thousand dollars ($5,000) to cover the cost and supervision of backfilling, repairing, restoring and relaying the pavement to its former condition. The amount of the deposit may be increased when the nature, size and location of the proposed opening warrants such increase, which shall be determined by the Service Director.
