Surface excavation or pavement cuts of any type
shall not be conducted on any highway or roadway of the Town of Van
Buren without first obtaining a permit for such excavation or pavement
cut from the Highway Superintendent. Application for such permit shall
be made on a form prescribed by the Highway Superintendent, which
shall describe the excavation or pavement cut intended, the reason
therefor, measures for the protection of the public and the flow of
traffic during the period of the work anticipated, and the proposed
method and materials for repairing the excavation or pavement cut.
No permit for surface excavation or pavement
cut of any highway or roadway of the Town of Van Buren shall be granted
unless the applicant has posted security in the form of cash, bond
or letter of credit to ensure the completion of all work to restore
the pavement surface to its condition prior to the excavation or cut
to the satisfaction of the Highway Superintendent. The amount of such
bond shall be determined by the Highway Superintendent, but shall
not be less than $1,000 or 10% or the total job cost, whichever is
greater. The form of any noncash security offered by the applicant
shall be approved by the attorney for the Town.
