Any person who makes or causes to be made any excavation within the limits of the improved portion of any public road, street, highway, avenue or alley within the corporate limits of the City shall obtain a permit authorizing the excavation prior to starting work on it.
(Ord. 390. Passed 10-31-55.)
Application for a permit for a street excavation shall be made to the Director of Public Service accompanied by a statement setting forth the total length and width of all portions of the excavation proposed, the total square foot area of all surface to be disturbed or removed for the excavation work, and the exact location for which a permit is requested. The application shall be made on forms supplied by the City.
(Ord. 574. Passed 10-28-57.)
No permit shall be issued by the Director of Public Service until there has been filed with him a certified check or a bond, in the minimum amount of three hundred dollars ($300.00), plus an additional amount of ten dollars ($10.00) per square foot for all surface to be disturbed or removed in excess of thirty square feet as determined by the statement required by Section 901.02. The certified check or bond shall guarantee to the City that all surface disturbed or removed will be replaced within thirty days of the completion of the excavation work in a manner satisfactory to the Director of Public Service and that the surface will be maintained by the person replacing it for a period of one year after the completion of the excavation and resurfacing work. The Director shall have the authority to extend the thirty-day limit set forth above if, in his opinion, an extension is warranted by prevailing conditions of weather, temperature or traffic. In the event the surface is not restored as required herein, the Director is authorized to proceed with the repair of the surface after thirty days written notice has been given to the permit holder, and to cause any and all costs resulting therefrom, including inspection fees, to be paid out of the certified check or by the company issuing the bonds. Any bond submitted in accordance with the provisions of this section shall refer to this section by number.
(Ord. 108-84. Passed 12-10-84.)
All public utilities shall be exempt from the requirements provided for in Section 901.03 relating to the filing of a certified check or bond prior to the issuance of a permit. A public utility shall, however, restore the surface of any public road, street, highway, avenue or alley excavated by the public utility. In the event that any public utility fails to restore the surface properly, the Director of Public Service may restore the surface at the expense of the public utility.
(Ord. 574. Passed 10-28-57.)
