The city shall charge and the permittee shall pay upon issuance of the permit, fees for costs associated with the excavation performed under the permit as outlined in the currently adopted fee schedule on file with the city. For an explanation of how fees are calculated, see section 7-3-18 of this chapter.
A. Inspection Fee: An inspection fee shall be paid upon application for a permit. The inspection fee will cover two (2) inspections; one inspection immediately following the work and one inspection one year from the date of completion. Additional inspection fees will be assessed for additional inspections deemed necessary by the city.
B. Diminished Road Integrity Fee: A fee shall be paid prior to commencement of excavation work for the diminished life of the road. The square footage of the excavation site restoration and the age of the road being cut are considered when determining the diminished road integrity fee.
C. Financial Guarantee: A cash escrow, set up by the permittee and held by the city, shall be established prior to commencement of excavation work as a protection to the city against any failure in the repair work performed. This may be used in the event the permittee refuses to or is unable to make the required repairs as necessary to render the street in good working condition. (Ord. 09-02, 3-10-2009)
