(A) No person shall make any excavation or opening for any purpose whatever in any street, alley, or other public place or right-of-way, or underneath the surface of any street, alley or right-of-way without first obtaining a registration and permit from the City Engineer to do so.
(B) In order to become registered with the city, an application shall be submitted along with a $10,000 surety bond made payable to the City, a certificate of insurance showing that the applicant has general liability insurance and a $50 registration fee. The registration, surety bond and certificate of insurance will help to ensure that the right-of-way is restored to its condition prior to any work being performed on the site.
(C) If an emergency arises where an excavation must be made at night or on a holiday or at any time when a permit, as required by § 95.36, cannot be obtained from the City Engineer's office because the office is closed, then the excavation may be made and the proper registration and permit issued the next day that the office is open.
