(A) Any public utility or private contractor excavating or digging in any street or alley of the city shall first obtain a permit from the Building Inspector to make the excavation, which permit shall describe the place or places of the work. (‘66 Code, § 92.10)
(B) As a condition for the issuance of the permit, the Building Inspector shall require a cash deposit or surety company bond in the amount equal to paying the cost of resurfacing the street or alley, the cost to be computed on a basis of $3 per yard of all streets or alley surfaces to be excavated. The cash deposit or bond shall be conditioned on the replacement of the city street or alley within 30 days from the date of beginning the work. (‘66 Code, § 92.11)
(C) As an alternative procedure, any public utility may maintain a surety bond in the penal sum of $1,000 payable to the city in the Clerk-Treasurer’s office to cover all excavations made in the streets or alleys during the usual course of business. No projects of a major nature requiring excavations in streets or alleys shall be undertaken without first arranging for the repair and replacement of all streets and alleys excavated by bond or contract. (‘66 Code, § 92.12)
