B. 
Words and phrases used in the singular shall include the plural, and the masculine shall include the feminine and neuter.
No person shall make any tunnel or excavation of any kind in or under the surface of any street without first securing a permit from the Borough for each separate undertaking. However, a person maintaining pipes, lines or other underground facilities in or under the surface of a street may proceed with an excavation without a permit when emergency circumstances demand the work to be done immediately, provided that the permit could not reasonably and practically have been obtained beforehand. The person shall thereafter apply for a permit on the first regular business day on which the office of the Borough Representative is open for business, such permit to be retroactive to the date when the work was begun. In all cases where emergency excavations are necessary, the Police Department of the Borough shall be notified prior to such excavation.
No person to whom a permit has been granted pursuant to this article shall perform any of the work authorized by such permit in any amount greater than that specified in the permit, except that if the permittee desires to perform additional work not in excess of an amount greater than 10% of the amount specified in the permit, the permittee may apply to the Borough Representative for an amendment to the original permit to allow for the additional work. If the additional work exceeds 10% of the amount specified in the original permit, an application for a new permit shall be made. Any deposit or bond posted in connection with the original permit shall be deemed to cover any such additional work as may be added pursuant to the issuance of an amended permit within the limit specified in this section.
Work for which a permit has been issued pursuant to this article shall commence within 30 days after the issuance of the permit. If not so commenced, the permit shall be automatically terminated unless the permittee applies for an extension of time within which to commence work. If such an extension is granted, the original permit shall remain in force for the period of time specified in the extension. Permits which terminate by reason of failure to commence work within 30 days after issuance thereof, or within any extension of time granted therefor, may be renewed only upon the payment of an additional permit fee as originally required.
Permits issued pursuant to this article are not transferable from one person to another. The work authorized by such a permit shall not be done in any place other than the location specifically designated in the permit.
Every permit issued pursuant to this article shall expire at the end of the period of time which is set out in the permit. If the permittee is unable to complete the work within the specified time, he or she shall, prior to the expiration of the permit, present, in writing, to the Borough Representative a request for an extension of time, setting forth therein the reasons for the required extension. If the Borough Representative finds that the failure to complete the work within the time specified in the permit was due to circumstances reasonably beyond the control of the permittee and that an extension of time to complete the work is necessary and not contrary to the public interest, the permittee may be granted additional time for completion of the work.
All street excavations required by utilities owned and/or operated by the Borough shall be made and restored under the direction and supervision of the Borough Representative. The permit, fee, deposit, insurance and bond requirements of this article shall not be applicable to any excavation made by Borough owned and/or operated utilities.
This article shall not be applicable in those instances where the street or highway is maintained by the Commonwealth or the county, provided, however, that a person applying for a permit to do work within the right of way of a street or highway maintained by the Commonwealth or the county, which would otherwise require a permit under this article, shall notify the Borough Representative at the time that such application is made and at the time that the work under any permit issued pursuant to such application is begun, so that proper safety precautions may be taken by the Borough during the continuation of such work.
Every permit issued pursuant to this article shall be granted subject to the right of the Borough, or of any other person entitled, to use the street for any purpose for which such street may lawfully be used not inconsistent with the permit.
A. 
A permit issued pursuant to this article may be revoked by the Borough Representative, after notice to the permittee, for:
(1) 
A violation of any condition of the permit or of any provision of this article;
(2) 
A violation of any provision of any other applicable ordinance or law relating to the work; or
(3) 
The existence of any condition or the doing of any act constituting or creating a nuisance or endangering the lives or property of others.
B. 
A permittee shall be granted three days from the date of the notice to correct the violation and to proceed with the diligent prosecution of the work authorized by the permit before the permit is revoked.
C. 
Written notice of the violation shall be served upon the permittee or his or her agent. The notice shall contain a brief statement of the reasons for revoking the permit. Notice may be given either by personal delivery thereof to the person to be notified or by certified or registered mail addressed to the person to be notified.
D. 
When the permit has been revoked and the work authorized by the permit has not been completed, the Borough Representative shall cause such work as may be necessary to restore the street or part thereof to as good condition as existed before the opening was made. All expenses thereby incurred by the Borough shall be recovered from the deposit or bond the permittee has made or filed with the Borough.
The applicant for a permit issued pursuant to this article shall:
A. 
Make a written application for such permit with the Borough Representative on such form as the Borough Representative may prescribe. No work shall commence until the Borough Representative has approved the application and plan and has issued a permit and until the permittee has paid and provided all fees, deposits, certificates, bonds, and insurance required by this article.
B. 
Furnish in triplicate a plan showing the work to be performed under the permit. Two copies of such plan shall be returned to the applicant at the time the permit is granted.
C. 
Agree to save the Borough, its officers, employees, and agents harmless from any and all costs, damages and liabilities, which may accrue or be claimed to accrue by reason of any work performed under the permit. The acceptance of any permit shall constitute such an agreement by the applicant whether or not the same is expressed.
A person receiving a permit issued pursuant to this article shall:
A. 
Pay a minimum permit fee per excavation, plus a fee per linear foot for each additional foot or fraction thereof of excavation more than 50 feet in length, as set from time to time by resolution of the Borough Council. Public utility companies and municipal authorities may, upon written notice to the Borough Representative, elect to be billed monthly for such fees as they accrue.
B. 
Make a deposit to cover the cost of inspecting the work authorized by the permit and, unless the permittee is granted permission to restore the street surface as provided in § 158-22D, the cost of restoring the street surface removed or damaged by the work done under such permit. The amount of such deposit shall be computed by the Borough Representative, as provided in § 158-23A. In the case of a public utility company, the Borough may waive the requirement of a deposit if such utility company files with the Borough a corporate bond in a form satisfactory to the Borough Solicitor, conditioned upon the payment to the Borough of all costs which would otherwise be covered and paid out of such a deposit. If such utility company elects to file such a bond, the Borough shall bill such utility company monthly for such costs as they accrue.
C. 
Furnish a maintenance bond, as required by § 158-27B, and, when the permittee is granted permission to restore the street surface as provided in § 158-22D, a performance bond, as required by § 158-27A.

(9) 
Every permittee shall place around the project such barriers, barricades, lights, warnings flags, and other danger signs as shall be determined by the Borough Representative to be necessary for the protection of the public.

No person shall willfully move, remove, injure, destroy, or extinguish any barrier, barricade, light, warning flag, sign or notice erected, placed or posted in accordance with this article.
(10) 
Access to private driveways shall be provided except during working hours when construction operations prohibit the provision of such access. Free access shall be provided at all times to fire hydrants.
(11) 
Excavated materials shall be laid compactly along the side of the trench and kept trimmed so as to cause as little inconvenience as possible to public travel. In order to expedite the flow of traffic or to abate dirt or dust nuisances, the Borough Representative may require the permittee to provide toe boards or bins. If the excavated area is muddy and causes inconvenience to pedestrians, temporary wooden plank walks shall be installed by the permittee as directed by the Borough Representative. If the street is not wide enough to hold the excavated material without using part of the adjacent sidewalk, the permittee shall keep a passageway, at least 1/2 the sidewalk width, open along such sidewalk line.
(12) 
Work authorized by a permit issued pursuant to this article shall be performed only between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., prevailing time, Monday through Saturday, unless the permittee obtains written consent from the Borough Representative to do the work at an earlier or later hour. Such permission shall be granted only in the case of an emergency or in the event the work authorized by the permit is to be performed in traffic congested areas.
(13) 
In granting any such permit, the Borough Representative may attach such other conditions thereto as may be reasonably necessary to prevent damage to public or private property or to prevent the operation from being conducted in a manner hazardous to life or property or in a manner likely to create a nuisance. Such conditions may include, but shall not be limited to, limitations on the period of the year in which the work may be performed; restrictions as to the size and type of equipment used in the work; the designation of routes upon which materials may be transported; the place and manner of disposal of excavated materials; requirements as to the laying of dust, the cleaning of streets, the prevention of noise and other results offensive or injurious to the neighborhood, the general public or any portion thereof; and, regulations as to the use of streets in the course of the work.
(14) 
The use of a mechanical device for the breaking of pavement, such as a hydra-hammer-headache ball, etc., shall only be permitted by special written permission of the Borough Representative.
A. 
All pavement cuts and excavations shall be properly made and backfilled by the permittee in accordance with Borough specifications. Unless the permittee has been granted permission to restore the street surface, as provided in Subsection D hereof, the permittee shall also place a temporary surface on the pavement cut or excavation in accordance with Borough specifications. If the permittee has been granted permission to restore the street surface, but weather conditions are such as to prevent the completion of permanent restoration of the street surface at the time backfilling is completed, the permittee shall install a temporary surface within 24 hours of the completion of backfilling in accordance with Borough specifications until such time as weather conditions will permit the permanent restoration of the street surface.
B. 
The Borough Representative shall be notified by the permittee, during the twenty-four-hour period preceding the beginning of backfilling, of the date and approximate time at which backfilling will be begun. Backfilling must be completed within 36 hours of he installation of the facility, in accordance with Borough specifications.
C. 
No backfilling shall be accomplished unless the Borough Representative or a designated Borough inspector is present, or unless permission has been granted for backfilling after inspection of such installation by the Borough Representative.
D. 
The work of final restoration, including both paving surface and paving base, shall be performed directly by the Borough under the supervision of the Borough Representative, provided, however, that upon a permittee's application for permission to perform the restoration, the Borough may grant permission to such permittee to perform the restoration. The Borough Representative in his or her sole discretion shall determine whether or not a permittee is granted permission to make restoration, and the determination of the Borough Representative shall be final and conclusive. In those cases where such permission is granted, the restoration, including both paving surface and paving base, shall be performed by the permittee in accordance with Borough specifications and subject to inspection by the Borough.
E. 
Final restoration of the excavated street shall require that the surface or wearing course of the entire roadway from the back of the curb to the back of the curb to be removed and replaced so that the finished street has only two joints running perpendicular to the roadway and no joints running along the length or parallel to the street, all in accordance with Detailed Drawings numbered Street Opening 1 and 2 (SO-1 and SO-2, included at the end of the chapter). In the event that curbing does not exist on the excavated street, then the street shall be repaved from one edge of the road to the opposite edge of the road.
F. 
After excavation is commenced, the work of making and backfilling such excavation shall be prosecuted with due diligence.
G. 
Inspections of all work authorized by a permit issued pursuant to this article shall be made by the Borough Representative at such time and in such manner as is required to ensure compliance with this article. If the nature of the work to be performed under any such permit requires the services of a full-time inspector, the Borough Representative shall provide for the services of such inspector, at the cost of the permittee.
H. 
All inspection costs shall be borne by the permittee. Such costs shall be based upon a schedule of charges on file in the office of the Borough Representative.
I. 
Upon the completion of all work required under the permit issued pursuant to this article, the permittee shall notify the Borough Representative, in writing, of such completion. A certificate of final inspection shall be issued by the Borough Representative to each permittee not sooner than one year and not later than 18 months after the permanent restoration of the excavation has been made, provided that the work authorized by the permit has been performed in accordance with Borough specifications. Prior to the issuance of such certificate, the Borough Representative shall make a final inspection of the restoration to determine whether or not Borough specifications have been adhered to.
J. 
If any settlement in a restored area occurs within one year from the date of completion of the permanent restoration and the permittee fails to make a correction thereof after notification, any expense incurred by the Borough in correcting such settlement shall be paid by the permittee or recovered from his or her bond, unless the permittee submits proof satisfactory to the Borough Representative that the settlement was not due to defective backfilling.
K. 
In no case shall an excavation made by a permittee be considered in the care, custody or control of the Borough or any of its officers or employees. No officer or employee of the Borough is authorized in any way to take or assume any jurisdiction or control over any such excavation, except in the exercise of police power when it is necessary to protect life and property. However, the Borough assumes charge when making final surface restoration, unless the permittee has been granted permission to perform the restoration of the street surface as provided in Subsection D hereof.
A. 
Computation. The Borough Representative, upon receipt of a properly completed application, shall determine the amount of the deposit to be made by the permittee in accordance with the schedule of charges established pursuant to § 158-24, provided, however, that the minimum deposit required by this article shall be not less than $50. The deposit shall be paid at the time the permit required by this article is issued, and the deposit shall be used to reimburse the Borough for the cost of any work and/or material furnished by it in connection with work authorized by the permit, to cover the cost of all necessary inspections of such work for any other expenses incurred by the Borough in carrying out the provisions of this article. In the case of a public utility company, the requirement of such deposit may be waived if such utility company files with the Borough its corporate bond, pursuant to § 158-20D.
B. 
Form of payment. The deposit may be paid either in the form of a certified, treasurer's or cashier's check or in lawful money of the United States.
C. 
Insufficient deposits. When any deposit is less than sufficient to pay all costs, the permittee shall, upon demand, pay to the Borough an amount equal to the deficiency. If the permittee fails or refuses to pay such deficiency, the Borough may institute an action to recover the same in a court of competent jurisdiction. Until such deficiency is paid in full, no additional permit shall be issued to such permittee.
D. 
Yearly deposits. When a public utility company anticipates applying for permits for more than one street excavation per calendar year and does not elect to file a corporate bond, as provided in § 158-20B, such utility company may post one deposit, in an amount and form as provided in this section, for the calendar year or part thereof to cover the cost of deposits which would otherwise be required for the anticipated permits.
The Borough shall, by resolution, establish a schedule of charges for inspections, labor materials and such other expenses as may be incurred by the Borough in carrying out the provisions of this article. Such schedule shall be established by the Borough in accordance with the reasonably anticipated costs to be incurred by the Borough for such inspections, including reasonable administrative and overhead expenses, and in accordance with the currently prevailing costs in the area for any labor and material which may be provided by the Borough. The Borough shall revise such schedule from time to time to reflect any increase or decrease in the costs used to establish such charges. Such schedule shall be open to public inspection in the offices of the Borough.
The decision of the Borough Representative as to the cost of any work done or repair made by him or her or under his or her direction, pursuant to this article, shall be final and conclusive as to such cost.
Upon notification by the permittee that all work authorized by the permit issued pursuant to this article has been completed, and after restoration of the excavation, the Borough Representative shall refund to the permittee his or her deposit less all costs incurred by the Borough in connection with the permit. In no event shall the permit fee be refunded.
A. 
Performance bonds. In those instances where the applicant or permittee intends to apply for or has received permission to perform the work of restoration of the street surface, the applicant, upon receipt of a permit, or the permittee, shall provide a performance surety bond acceptable to the Borough to guarantee the faithful performance of the work authorized by a permit issued pursuant to this article. The amount of the bond shall be 100% of the estimated cost of restoring the excavation. The term of the bond shall begin on the date of posting thereof and shall terminate upon the receipt by the permittee of a certificate of final inspection from the Borough Representative as required under § 158-22I above. If the permittee anticipates requesting more than one permit per year as required by this article, he or she may furnish one continuing corporate surety bond to guarantee faithful performance in such amount as the Borough Representative deems necessary. The amount of such bond shall be in relation to the cost of restoring pavement cuts to be made by the permittee throughout the year. In the case of a public utility company, its corporate bond, in a form satisfactory to the Solicitor, may be accepted in lieu of the corporate surety bond required by this subsection.
B. 
Maintenance bonds. Each applicant, upon the receipt of the permit, shall provide the Borough with an acceptable corporate surety bond conditioned for compliance with the excavation specifications of the Borough and this article. The Borough Representative shall determine the amount of the bond and it shall be in relation to the cost of restoring the pavement cut to be made by the permittee, provided, however, that the bond shall be not less than $2,000. The term of each such bond shall begin on the completion date of the permanent restoration of the excavation by the Borough and shall terminate upon the receipt by the permittee of a certificate of final inspection from the Borough Representative. If the permittee anticipates requesting more than one permit per year, he or she may file a continuing corporate surety bond conditioned for compliance with the specifications of the Borough and this article in such amount as the Borough Representative deems necessary. The amount of such bond shall be in relation to the cost of restoring pavement cuts to be made by the permittee throughout the year. In the case of a public utility company, its corporate bond, in a form satisfactory to the Solicitor, may be accepted in lieu of the corporate surety bond required by this subsection.
C. 
Default in performance. Whenever the Borough Representative finds that a default has occurred in the performance of any term or condition of the permit, written notice thereof shall be given to the principal and to the surety of the bond. Such notice shall state the work to be done, the estimated cost thereof and the period of time deemed by the Borough Representative to be reasonably necessary for the completion of such work.
D. 
Completion of work. After receipt of such notice, the surety must, within the time specified in such notice, either cause the required work to be performed, or failing therein, indemnify the Borough for the cost of doing the work as set forth in the notice.
Each applicant, upon receipt of the permit issued pursuant to this article, shall provide the Borough with an acceptable certificate of insurance indicating that he or she is insured against claims for damages for personal injuries, as well as against claims for property damage, which may arise from or out of the performance of the work, whether such performance is by himself or herself, his or her subcontractor or anyone directly or indirectly employed by him or her. Such insurance shall cover collapse, explosive hazards, and underground work by equipment on the street, and shall include protection against liability arising from completed operations. The amount of insurance shall be prescribed by the Borough in accordance with the nature of the risk involved, provided, however, that the liability insurance for bodily injury shall be not less than $100,000 for each person, 300,000 for each accident and $50,000 for all property damages, with an aggregate of $100,000 for all accidents. Public utility companies and authorities may be relieved of the obligation of submitting such a certificate if they submit satisfactory evidence that they are insured in accordance with the requirements of this section or have adequate provisions for self-insurance. Public utility companies and authorities may file an annual certificate of insurance in lieu of individual certificates for each permit.
When the Borough improves or paves a street, the Borough Secretary shall first give notice to all persons owning property abutting on the street about to be paved or improved and to all public utility companies and authorities operating in the Borough. All such persons, utility companies and authorities shall make all connections, as well as any repair thereto, which would necessitate the excavation of the street, within 30 days from the giving of such notice. The time shall be extended if permission is requested in writing and approved by the Borough Representative after consultation with the Borough Engineer.
No permit shall be issued by the Borough Representative which would allow an excavation in a paved and improved street surface less than five years old, unless the applicant for such permit can clearly demonstrate that public health or safety requires that the proposed work be permitted or unless an emergency condition exists.
If, by special action of the Borough Representative, a permit is issued to excavate a paved and improved street surface less than five years old, a penalty charge shall be made for the excavation, except that the penalty shall be waived in the event the work is of an emergency nature. The penalty charge shall be on a sliding scale and shall be equal to 2% of the cost of restoring the excavation for each unelapsed month or fraction thereof of the five-year restriction period.
A. 
Every person owning, using, controlling or having an interest in pipes, conduits, ducts or other structures, under the surface of any street, used for the purpose of supplying or conveying gas, electricity, communication impulses, water or steam to or from the Borough, to or from its inhabitants or for any other purpose, shall file with the Borough, within 120 days after the adoption of this article, a written statement containing the names of the streets wherein such facilities owned by such person are located.
B. 
Within 90 days after January 1 of each year, such person shall notify, in writing, the Borough of the changes necessary to maintain the street list required under Subsection A hereof.
A. 
Whenever any pipe, conduit, duct, tunnel or other entrance located under the surface of any street is abandoned, or the use thereof abandoned, the person owning, using, controlling or having an interest therein shall, within 30 days after such abandonment, file with the Borough a statement, in writing, giving in detail the location of the structure so abandoned. Whenever there are manholes or tunnels associated with any abandoned underground facility, such manholes or tunnels shall be filled in at the time of abandonment and the Borough Representative shall be notified thereof in writing.
B. 
When the Borough plans to pave or improve streets in which there are abandoned facilities, the owner of such facilities shall be notified to remove them if, in the opinion of Council, their removal is in the best interests of the Borough. If the owner refuses to remove such facilities, the Borough shall remove the abandoned facilities and the owner shall reimburse the Borough for such removal.
A. 
If the work to be undertaken by the permittee will affect the use of the properties abutting or adjoining the project, the Borough Representative may require the permittee to submit a list of the owners and/or tenants, and/or the addresses, of all properties abutting the area where the work authorized by the permit is to be performed. Upon receipt of such list, the Borough Representative shall notify the affected property owners and/or tenants of the proposed work to be done.
B. 
If the work to be undertaken by a permittee will affect other subsurface installations in the vicinity of the proposed excavation, the Borough Representative shall notify the owners of such installations of the proposed work.
The Borough Representative shall notify, in writing, the Borough police and fire authorities of all street excavation permits he or she grants of a nature that would require a street being closed. Such notifications shall state the nature of the work to be done, the proposed beginning and completion dates thereof, and the location of such project.
An offense shall be deemed committed each day during or on which a violation occurs or continues after notice of such violation has been served in writing upon the offender by the Borough Representative.
