The improvements must be installed in accordance with the following procedure:
A. 
Work must not begin until plans have been checked for adequacy and approved by the City in writing and a performance bond, as provided in Section 17.24.060, and certificate of insurance, as provided in the Public Works Standards, are provided to the City. All such plans, performance bond, and certificate of insurance, must be prepared in accordance with requirements of the City.
B. 
Work must not begin until the City has been notified in advance, and if work is discontinued for any reason, it must not be resumed until the City is notified.
C. 
Improvements must be constructed under the inspection and to the satisfaction of the City. The City may require changes in typical sections and details if unusual conditions arising during construction warrant such changes in the public interest.
D. 
All underground utilities, installed in streets by the applicant, including, but not limited to, water, sanitary sewers, and storm drains must be constructed prior to the surfacing of streets. Stubs for service connections must be extended to property lines long enough to avoid disturbing the street improvements when service connections are made. How utilities are to be serviced must be indicated.
