The Director shall institute and maintain a list of approved contractors for street excavations within Stockton Town.
A. Any contractor who is licensed by the State of Utah to perform street excavations may be placed on the approved contractors list provided that they submit to the Director the following:
1. A written request to be placed on the approved contractors list;
2. An irrevocable letter of credit or cash bond to the Town, in an amount established by the Town Council to secure completion of repairs to the street in a timely manner to Town specifications;
3. Documentation demonstrating that the contractor is properly licensed and in good standing to do business as a contractor within the State of Utah;
4. A signed indemnity agreement, to be on a form provided by the Town, covering any work performed in their capacity as a contractor performing excavation work within a Stockton Town rights-of-way or on public property; and,
5. Proof of liability insurance.
B. Contractors identified on the official approved contractors list shall not be required to post a bond for individual excavation permits within a Stockton Town right-of-way or on public property so long as their on-going approved contractor's bond remains in full effect at the time an excavation permit is filed with the department.
C. Contractors identified on the official approved contractors list shall be required to pay only permit fees for individual excavation permits so long as their on-going approved contractor's bond remains in full effect at the time an excavation permit is filed with the department.
D. Failure to meet the conditions and requirements of this chapter, failure to maintain a state of good standing on the approved contractors list, failure to properly perform street excavations, failure to properly complete any street repairs, or failure to seek and be issued permits for excavation work shall be grounds for removal from the approved contractors list at the discretion of the Director.
E. In the event the Director elects to remove a contractor from the approved contractors list, the contractor shall have a right to appeal in writing the removal to the Mayor within ten (10) days of written notice of removal. (Ord. 2019-09, 5-9-2019)
