Permission may be granted to work within the public Right of Way to work on underground utilities or to remove and replace existing pavement, curb, gutter, sidewalk, grass or landscaping, provided that the consent of the Director of Public Service is first obtained and the necessity of such work is established to his satisfaction. A fee of thirty dollars ($30.00) shall be collected by the Building Department for each such permit application. The applicant shall also deposit monies simultaneously with the issuance of such permit as guarantee that all backfill, roadway base, pavement and surface restoration meets the pre-existing conditions or the City standard details (whichever is more stringent). Deposit monies will also be used for inspection costs. Deposits shall be deposited with the Building Department and be determined based on the following: One hundred fifty dollars ($150.00) per square yard of surface pavement to be disturbed, thirty dollars ($30.00) per lineal foot of curb or gutter cut or removed and replaced, and ten dollars ($10.00) per square foot of sidewalk. In no case shall such deposit be less than one thousand dollars ($1,000) for a curb cut or work outside of the pavement (between the curb/pavement and the Right of Way). In no case shall such deposit be less than two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) for work within the pavement. Deposits may be increased in non-typical situations where the City's exposure would not be covered by the standard deposit. Each pavement opening, curb cut or sidewalk removal requires a separate permit; however, if curb is removed and replaced as part of a contiguous road opening, a single permit is adequate.
