It shall be unlawful for any person to make any tunnel, opening, or excavation of any kind in or under the surface of any Street without first securing a permit from the Manager for each separate undertaking; provided, however, any person maintaining pipes, lines or other underground facilities in or under the surface of any Street may proceed with an opening without a permit when Emergency circumstances demand the work to be done immediately, provided 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 Manager is open for business and said permit shall be retroactive to the date when the work was begun. In all cases where Emergency openings are necessary, the Police Department shall be notified prior to such opening.
No person to whom a permit has been granted shall perform any of the work authorized by such permit in any amount greater than that specified in the permit, except that where the Permittee desires to perform additional work not in excess of an amount greater than 10% of the amount specified in the permit, Permittee may apply to the Manager for an amended permit to permit the additional work. If the additional work desired to be performed by the Permittee 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 herein.
Work for which a permit has been issued shall commence within 30 days after the issuance of the permit therefor. If not so commenced, the permit shall be terminated automatically 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 or within any extension of time granted hereunder may be renewed only upon the payment of an additional permit fee as originally required.
Permits are not transferable from one person to another, and the work shall not be performed in any place other than the location specifically designated in the permit.
Every permit shall expire at the end of the period of time which shall be set out in the permit. If the Permittee shall be unable to complete the work within the specified time, he shall, prior to expiration of the permit, present in writing to the Manager a request for an extension of time, setting forth therein the reasons for the requested extension. If the Manager finds that the failure to complete the work under the permit within the time specified therein was due to circumstances reasonably beyond the control of the Permittee and that an extension of time to complete the work under the permit is necessary and not contrary to the public interest, the Permittee may be granted additional time for the completion of the work.
All Street openings required by utilities owned and/or operated by the Municipality shall be made and restored under the direction and supervision of the Manager. The permit, fee, deposit, insurance, and bond requirements of this Part 1 shall not be applicable to any openings made by Municipally-owned and/or operated utilities.
The provisions of this Part 1 shall not be applicable in those instances where the Street or highway is maintained by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or by the County of Allegheny; provided, however, that any person applying for a permit to do work within the right-of-way of a Street or highway maintained by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or by the County of Allegheny which would otherwise require a permit under the terms of this Part 1, shall notify the Manager at the time that said application is made and at the time that the work under any permit issued pursuant to said application is begun, so that proper safety precautions may be taken by the Municipality during the continuation of said work.
Every permit shall be granted subject to the right of the Municipality or of any other person entitled thereto to use the Street for any purpose for which such Street may lawfully be used not inconsistent with the permit.
Any permit may be revoked by the Manager, after notice to the Permittee, for:
110.1 
Violation of any condition of the permit or of any provision of this Part 1;
110.2 
Violation of any other applicable provision of the Mt. Lebanon Code, or any law relating to the work;
110.3 
Existence of any condition or the doing of any act constituting or creating a nuisance or endangering the life or property of others.
A Permittee shall be granted a period of 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 said permit is revoked.
Written notice of any such violation or condition shall be served upon the Permittee or his agent engaged in the work. 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 United States mail addressed to the person to be notified.
When any permit has been revoked and the work authorized by the permit has not been completed, the Manager shall do or cause to be done such work as may be necessary to restore the Street or part thereof to as good a condition as before the opening was made. All expenses thereby incurred by the Municipality shall be recovered from the deposit or bond the Permittee has made or filed with the Municipality.
