(a) Any person licensed to engage in the construction or reconstruction of walks or driveways, or to make curb openings, shall file with the Municipal Administrator a bond in an amount to be established by ordinance, the surety thereon to be approved by the Municipal Administrator as to sufficiency, and such bond shall be subject to approval by the Law Director as to form. The bond to the City shall be conditioned upon the faithful observance of this chapter and other applicable provisions of these Codified Ordinances and the specifications, rules or regulations pertaining to the construction and reconstruction of walks, driveways or curb openings, and upon the principal constructing, reconstructing or making all walks, driveways or curb openings in strict compliance with all applicable existing ordinances, specifications, rules and regulations of the City.
(Ord. 99-010. Passed 4-12-99.)
(b) The bond shall further provide for payment to the City, or to all persons entitled thereto, of the cost and expense of reconstructing any walk, driveway or curb opening when required by the Municipal Administrator if any defect due to construction, material or workmanship develops in such work at any time within a period of one year from January 1 next following the completion of the work, which defect is, in the judgment of the Municipal Administrator, caused by the contractor’s failure to conform to the specifications and regulations relating to the construction or reconstruction of walks, driveways or curb openings, which specifications and regulations are established under this chapter. The bond shall be further conditioned upon such surety indemnifying and saving harmless the City on account of any and all claims, damages or injuries to persons or property due to failure of the contractor or his or her agents or servants to maintain the right of way, where such construction or reconstruction is being done, in a condition which is safe and fit for public travel, and in compliance with this chapter or any ordinance, rule or regulation relating to public safety now in effect or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated.
