The purpose of this chapter is to establish requirements for inspections/operations services performed by city departments for private development projects within the city. It is the intent of this chapter to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public against inadequate, unwarranted or unsafe construction activities or operation of city facilities during nonbusiness hours. Not by way of limitation, the purposes of this chapter are:

   A.   To ensure the constructed work product meets city standards and to minimize hazards to life and limb;

   B.   To ensure that authorized operations personnel are operating city facilities that are being repaired, relocated, removed or which need to be operational during nonbusiness hours;

   C.   To ensure continuation of required city inspections/operations services during nonbusiness hours for construction activities then being performed;

   D.   To ensure the city's recovery of costs for such inspections/operations services provided during nonbusiness hours. (2001 Code § 72-7-010; amd. 2009 Code)

8-1-2: CONSTRUCTION DURING NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS:

   A.   Normal Business Hours Specified: Normal business hours for the city inspection/operations staff shall be Monday through Friday, seven o'clock (7:00) A.M. through three thirty o'clock (3:30) P.M., excepting city observed holidays.

   B.   Activities Conducted During Normal Business Hours: Construction or operations activities that: 1) involve existing city infrastructure; or 2) require city inspection shall be conducted only during normal business hours, except as approved by the city pursuant to this chapter. No such activities shall be conducted without appropriate city staff being present. (2001 Code § 72-7-020; amd. 2009 Code)

8-1-3: APPLICATION FOR NONBUSINESS HOURS INSPECTION:

An application is required for city staff to perform an inspection or provide operations services at any time that is not during normal business hours. The application must be filed with the applicable city department executive assistant at least twenty four (24) hours in advance of the proposed time for commencing the work. The application shall set forth the days and hours of all work being performed during nonbusiness hours and shall not be accepted unless accompanied by the required fees. Applications submitted after the twenty four (24) hour required notification period will not be honored. (2001 Code § 72-7-030; amd. 2009 Code)
