1309.02 DEMOLITION AND REMOVAL PROCEDURES.

   In addition to the Section 8 Supplemental Specifications required of each contractor performing demolition work in the City, each contractor shall adhere to the following requirements in performing such demolition work.

   (a)    The contractor must obtain a valid 30 day permit prior to commencing the demolition work, and if requested, display it when performing the demolition work. Extensions may be granted by the Deputy Director of Public Works.

   (b)    Contractors must apply for Refuse Hauler permits pursuant to Chapter 737 and comply with all hauling regulations therein.

   (c)    Contractors must hose down the work site during the operations by connecting to City hydrants adjacent to the work site. This is for dust control measures. Contractors will pay the City Water Department a ten dollar ($10.00) user fee per single residential structure being demolished or twenty dollars ($20.00) per commercial structure, if larger than a duplex, unless the contractor provides his own water through portable means.

   (d)    It shall be illegal to dump debris from any site into basements or to dispose of debris on any site other than at an approved landfill or at a construction and demolition landfill.

      However, bricks/masonry may be buried on site.

   (e)    Contractors shall remove all garages, sheds and other outbuildings along with shrubs, bushes, walls, fences and foliage from property, along with structures, and all disposable material must be removed from the site.

   (f)    When a contractor applies for payment for demolition work performed, all landfill manifests relating to the disposal of demolition debris and asbestos-containing materials must be supplied in order to secure payment.

   (g)    Contractors must protect the area around the site during the demolition process to prevent debris from falling on active sidewalks and streets (not blocked off). Sidewalks, directly adjacent to the site, shall be properly closed and barricaded throughout the demolition project. Street traffic lanes may be closed as needed only in conjunction with the City Traffic Coordinator's Office.

   (h)    Contractors shall reasonably grade lots. They shall present a neat, well drained appearance and shall prevent water from draining unnecessarily onto adjacent properties or collecting on the site.

   (i)    Contractors shall not leave mud or any mess on streets or sidewalks while equipment is being loaded or unloaded. See also Section 339.08.

   (j)    All demolition work, once commenced, must be completed within a reasonable time, seventy-two hours for residential structures and, once started, commercial demolition work must be continued daily until finished (excluding holidays, Sundays and inclement weather days).

   (k)    Any damage to City property such as sidewalks, curbs, catch basins, fire hydrants, etc., will be the responsibility of the contractor.
