(a) Any person desiring to engage in the construction or reconstruction of sidewalks on a public right of way shall file with the Public Works Director a bond in an amount as determined from time to time by Council. Such bond shall be conditioned upon the faithful observance of the provisions of this chapter and other applicable provisions of these Codified Ordinances and the specifications, rules and regulations pertaining to the construction and reconstruction of sidewalks, and upon the principal’s constructing, reconstructing or making all sidewalks in strict compliance with all applicable existing ordinances, specifications, rules and regulations of the Municipality.
(b) The bond shall further provide for payment to the Municipality, or all persons entitled thereto, of the cost and expense of reconstructing any sidewalk when required by the Public Works Director, should any defect due to construction or materials develop in such work at any time within a period of two years from the completion of the work, which defect is, in the judgment of the Public Works Director, caused by the contractor’s failure to conform to the specifications and regulations relating to the construction or reconstruction of sidewalks which are established under this chapter and amendments thereto. The bond shall be further conditioned upon the surety’s indemnifying and saving harmless the Municipality on account of any and all claims for damages or injuries to persons or property due to failure of the contractor or of the contractor’s 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 hereafter be enacted or promulgated.
