(A) Relocation and protection of utilities.
(1) Before beginning excavation in any public way, a permittee shall contact the Utility Notification Center of Colorado (UNCC) and, to the extent required by C.R.S. §§ 9-1.5-102 et seq., make inquiries of all ditch companies, utility companies, districts, local government departments and all other agencies that might have facilities in the area of work to determine possible conflicts. The permittee shall contact the UNCC and request field locations of all facilities in the area pursuant to UNCC requirements.
(2) Field locations shall be marked prior to commencing work. The permittee shall support and protect all pipes, conduits, poles, wires or other apparatus which may be affected by the work from damage during construction or settlement of trenches subsequent to construction.
(B) Noise, dust, debris, hours of work. Each permittee shall conduct work in such manner as to avoid unnecessary inconvenience and annoyance to the general public and occupants of neighboring property. In the performance of the work, the permittee shall take appropriate measures to reduce noise, dust and unsightly debris. No Work shall be done between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. nor at any time on Saturday or Sunday, except with the written permission of the Director, or in case of an emergency.
(C) Trash and construction materials. Each permittee shall maintain the work site so that:
(1) Trash and construction materials are contained so that they are not blown off of the construction site;
(2) Trash is removed from a construction site often enough so that it does not become a health, fire or safety hazard or public nuisance; and
(3) Trash dumpsters and storage or construction trailers are not placed in the street without specific approval of the Director.
(D) Deposit of dirt and material on roadways. Each permittee shall utilize their best efforts to eliminate the tracking of mud or debris upon any street or sidewalk. Streets and sidewalks shall be cleaned of mud and debris at the end of each day. All equipment and trucks tracking mud and debris into the right-of-way shall be cleaned of mud and debris at the end of each day or as directed by the Director.
(E) Protection of trees and landscaping. Each permittee shall protect trees, landscape and landscape features as required by the town. All protective measures shall be provided at the expense of the permittee.
(F) Protection of paved surfaces from equipment damage. Backhoe equipment outriggers shall be fitted with rubber pads whenever outriggers are placed on any paved surface. Tracked vehicles that will damage pavement surfaces are not permitted on paved surface unless specific precautions are taken to protect the surface. The permittee will be responsible for any damage caused to the pavement by the operation of such equipment and shall repair such surfaces. Failure to do so will result in the use of the applicant’s performance/warranty guarantee by the town to repair any damage and, possibly, the requirement of additional warranty(s).
(G) Protection of property. Each permittee shall protect from injury any adjoining property by providing adequate support and taking other necessary measures. The permittee shall, at its own expense, shore up and protect all buildings, walls, fences or other property likely to be damaged during the Work, and shall be responsible for all damage to public or private property resulting from failure to properly protect and carry out work in the public way.
(H) Clean-up. As the work progresses, all public rights-of-way and private property shall be thoroughly cleaned of all rubbish, excess dirt, rock and other debris. All clean-up operations shall be done at the expense of the permittee.
(I) Preservation of monuments. A permittee shall not disturb any surface monuments, property marks or survey hubs and points found on the line of work unless approval is obtained from the Director. Any monuments, hubs and points disturbed will be replaced by a state-registered land surveyor at the permittee’s expense.
(J) Parking. Each permittee shall make provisions for employee and construction vehicle parking so that neighborhood parking adjacent to a work site is not impacted.
(K) Unobstructed walkway. Each permittee shall maintain an adequate and safe unobstructed walkway around a construction site or blocked sidewalk. Such provision shall be included in the traffic control plan.
(L) Clearing sidewalks. Each permittee shall clear all snow and ice hazards from public sidewalks at the work site within 48 hours following a snowfall.
