(a) Any person desiring to engage in the construction or reconstruction of walks or driveways or to make curb openings, shall file a bond in the sum of five thousand dollars ($5,000), the surety thereon to be approved by the Director as to sufficiency, and such bond shall be subject to the approval by the Director of Law as to form. Such surety to the City shall be conditioned upon the faithful observance of the provisions of this and other applicable provisions of the Codified Ordinances and the specifications, rules or regulations pertaining to the construction and reconstruction of walks, driveways or curb openings and that the principal shall construct, reconstruct or make all walks, driveways or curb openings in strict compliance with all applicable existing ordinances, specifications, rules and regulations of the City.
(b) Such bond shall further provide for payment to the City, or all persons entitled thereto, of the cost and expense of reconstructing any walk, driveway or curb opening when required by the Director should any defects due to construction, material or workmanship develop in such work at any time within a period of one year from the first day of January next following the completion of the work, which defect is, in the judgment of the Director caused by the contractor's failure to conform to the specifications and regulations, relating to the construction or reconstruction of walks, driveways or curb openings, which are established under this chapter and amendments thereto. Such bond shall be further conditioned that such surety shall indemnify and save harmless the City on account of any and all claims or damages or injuries to persons or property due to failure of the contractor, his agent or servant to maintain the right of way where such construction or reconstruction is being done in a condition which is safe for public travel, and in compliance with the provisions of this chapter and amendments thereto or any ordinance, rules or regulations relating to public safety now in effect or which may hereinafter be enacted or promulgated.
