There shall be no excavation of Town streets, alleys, or other public places or rights-of-way except by authorized employees of Stockton Town, Tooele County, or the State of Utah, or any of its agencies, or by a contractor licensed by the State of Utah to perform street excavation. Prior to the commencement of any excavation work by a licensed contractor, the contractor shall deposit a cash bond with Stockton Town in an amount established by the Town Council to insure proper restoration of the ground, laying of pavement, and restoration of landscaping, if any. The bond shall be automatically forfeited by the contractor should the Town be required to undertake, or cause to be undertaken, any work which the contractor is required by the provisions of this chapter to do. The permittee shall guarantee the materials and workmanship for a period of two (2) years from completion of the excavation work, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Upon completion of the work by the contractor to the satisfaction of the Town, the two-year warranty period shall begin. At the successful completion of the warranty period the bond shall be returned to the contractor. In addition, no contractor shall be allowed to obtain an excavation permit unless the contractor first provides proof of liability insurance and signs an indemnity agreement to be prepared by the Stockton Town Attorney and the form approved by the Stockton Town Mayor.
