before a formal bid can be made.

F. No curb and guttering will be allowed in City-owned alleys.
G. Any owner may be denied a request to install curb and guttering if

extreme erosion in street drain ditches or on another owner's
properties. However, if the other owners request curb and guttering,
then the request may be approved for all owners.
H. Where the owner's properties stop at a City-owned alley, then the
owner shall be required to turn the curb and gutter into the alley
with a radius of no more than three (3) feet and the back of the curb

(C) of this Section. Curb and gutter shall be replaced within a thirty-day period after work is complete.
J. After the time period has passed, the City has the right to make
necessary repairs, by any means, and will bill the owner. The owner
will have thirty (30) days after billing to pay this cost. After the

specification: the City has the right to do necessary backfilling,
and to furnish materials for the same.

[Ord. No. 2163, 12-5-2000]
A. The City of Waverly has set forth these specifications and guidelines
for the purpose of digging or cutting into the City streets and alleys.
The City will not be held liable for any type of accident caused by
contractors, laborers and equipment to underground lines of any type
or damages to personal properties.
B. Before any work can be performed on City-owned properties, a permit
must be obtained and a deposit in the amount of three hundred fifty
dollars ($350.00) shall be paid to the City of Waverly at City Hall
during regular working hours. The Street or Water Department must
be notified.
1.
Contractor must contact DIGRITE for line locates of all underground
lines and buried cables.
2.
The street shall be saw cut through the pavement where the digging
is to be done, and will be cut into pieces approximately two (2) feet
long and laid aside. After all work and backfilling is complete, the
paving parts shall be set back in place and flush with the original
pavement.
3.
Traffic cones or barricades must be placed around work areas
for the safety of workmen and equipment. If for any reason a ditch
or hole must be left open overnight, the barricades or cones must
be equipped with either flashers or reflectors. City-owned cones and
barricades may be used. Should any loss occur, the owner shall replace
or reimburse the City for the equipment.
4.
Any ditch or hole in the City street over four (4) feet deep
may be backfilled with well-tamped dirt up to four (4) feet from the
top of the opening. Sand or rock, not to exceed three (3) inches in
diameter, shall be used up to the bottom edge of the pavement. The
pavement pieces which were cut out shall be relayed over the backfilled
area. All excess debris must be removed and hauled to the Street Department
and dumped into a designated area.
5.
If for any reason an owner has this work done without obtaining
a permit and paying the deposit, the City may assess a fee of ten
dollars ($10.00) per day and City utilities may be stopped until the
full payment of all debts to the City is satisfied.
6.
In the event of an emergency at night, holidays or weekends,
then the owner shall be required to pay the deposit within five (5)
working days. If this is not done, then all of Subsection (B)(65)
will be enforced.
7.
A copy of these specifications will be given to the person obtaining a permit. It will be the owner's responsibility to insure the specifications are followed. If work is not completed to specifications, Subsection
(B)(5) will be enforced.
C. The Water or Street Department will inspect the finished project
and, upon approval of the Board of Aldermen, a refund of up to one
hundred fifty dollars ($150.00) may be given.
