Any person desiring to engage in the construction or reconstruction of walks or driveways or to make curb openings, shall file with the Commissioner of Building Inspection a bond in an amount specified in Section 903.07 of the Municipal Code. The Department of Law shall provide the Commissioner of Building Inspection with appropriate information and counsel to provide for the review of adequacy of the bond 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 Municipal Code, and the specifications, rules or regulations pertaining to the construction and reconstruction of walks, driveways or curb openings, and that the principal will 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.
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 Commissioner, should any defects due to construction, material or workmanship develop in such work at any time within a period of two (2) years following the completion of the work, which such defect is in the judgment of the Commissioner 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 article and amendments thereto. Such bond shall be further conditioned that such surety will 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 agents or servants to maintain the right-of-way where such construction or reconstruction is being done in a condition which is safe and fit 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.
