(A) Cash deposit. If the Director of Public Works determines that there is a possibility of damage or expense to the city arising from an applicant's proposed use of any public place, the applicant shall furnish to the city a surety bond, cash or certified check, payable to the city, to be in an amount not less than $200. The cash deposit shall be in an amount determined by the Director of Public Works at the time of approving the application. The deposit shall be used to pay the cost of the permit as specified in § 15.24.090, and to pay for any possible extra expense that the city may be called on to pay. Additional expense items may include additional inspectors, surveys or other services performed by the city above those included within the permit fee, the costs of restoring the street and removing any earth or other debris from the street, the replacement of any utility interrupted or damaged, the completion of any work left unfinished, and any other expense the city may sustain in conjunction with the permitted work. In the case of a cash indemnity deposit the balance, if any, after the foregoing deductions shall be returned to the applicant; if the deposit be insufficient the applicant will be liable for the deficiency.
(B) Bond. If a surety bond is filed, the bond shall assume all the requirements provided in subsection (A) of this section in relation to a cash indemnity deposit, shall run for the full period of the permit, and shall be conditioned that such applicant shall faithfully comply with all the terms of the permit and all the provisions of this title and all other ordinances of the city. Such bond shall indemnify and save the city free and harmless from any and all claims, actions or damages of every kind and description which may accrue to, or be suffered by, any person by reason of the use of any public place, as provided for in said application. The bond shall be approved as to form by the City Attorney.
(C) Duration of security. The city also reserves the right to determine the circumstances and length of duration of a bond, cash or certified assurance required to cover possible damage and repairs which may result from the permittee's construction. If the application shall be to construct, reconstruct, repair, maintain, or remove any sidewalk, pavement, grading, underground installations of any kind, or other work which affect the integrity of the street or other public place, the applicant shall file a surety bond, approved as to form by the City Attorney, which bond shall run for the full period of the permit plus one year after the acceptance of the permitted work by the Director of Public Works. The amount of the bond shall be in an amount fixed by the Director of Public Works and conditioned that the applicant shall faithfully complete all portions of the work according to the special plans and other data approved or specified by the Director of Public Works.
