(a) Where a permit is authorized in this chapter, it shall be obtained upon application to the Director of Inspections upon such forms as he or she prescribes. There shall be a charge of three dollars ($3.00) for each such permit, except as otherwise provided by resolution of Council. Such permit shall be revocable by the Director of Public Services for failure to comply with this chapter, with rules and regulations adopted pursuant to this chapter and with the lawful orders of the Director of Public Services or his or her duly authorized representative, and shall be valid only for the period of time endorsed thereon. An application for such a permit shall be deemed an agreement by the applicant to promptly complete the work permitted, to observe all pertinent laws and regulations of the City in connection therewith, to repair all damage done to the street surface and installations on, over or within such street, including trees, and to protect and save harmless the City from all damages or actions at least that may arise or be brought on account of injury to persons or property resulting from the work done under the permit or in connection therewith. Where liability insurance policies are required to be filed in making an application for a permit, they shall be in not less than the following amounts, except as otherwise specified in this chapter:
(1) On account of injury to or death of any person in any one accident $25,000
(2) On account of any one accident resulting in injury to or death of more than one person $50,000
(3) On account of damage to property in any one accident $ 5,000
(b) A duplicate executed copy or photostatic copy of the original of such insurance policy, approved as to form by the City Attorney, shall be filed with the City Clerk. Where cash deposits are required with the application for any permit, such deposit shall be in the amount of fifty dollars ($50.00), except as otherwise specified in this chapter, and such deposit shall be used to defray all expenses to the City arising out of the granting of the permit and work done under the permit or in connection therewith. Six months after the completion of the work done under the permit, any balance of such cash deposit unexpended shall be refunded. If the deposit does not cover all costs and expenses of the City, the deficit shall be paid by the applicant.
