[Added 12-6-2023 by L.L. No. 14-2023]
A. The
permittee shall make every effort to keep the amount of pavement damage
to a minimum. Any roadwork/excavation where pavement is removed and/or
damaged in the course of performing the work shall be restored by
the permittee, at its own expense from curb to curb as well as 10
feet in both directions beyond the area of disturbance unless written
authorization is received from the Director/Village Engineer. Additionally,
any pavement work resulting in damage beyond the limits of the pavement
(e.g., lawns, sidewalks, shrubs, gardens, etc.) shall similarly be
restored by the permittee.
B. If the
restoration results in any roadway patch within eight feet of any
other existing patch or newly created patch, the patches shall be
combined into a single patch.
C. Any
roadway restoration that obscures or otherwise disturbs pavement markings,
including, but not limited to, stop lines, crosswalks, lane marking,
or shoulder striping, shall require the repainting or repair of such
markings as per Village specifications.
D. Upon
completion of the restoration the permittee shall notify the Director/Village
Engineer, in writing, that the restoration has been completed and
the date of completion. The permittee shall, and has the duty and
responsibility to maintain the replacement area for six months after
completion. Upon notice by the Director/Village Engineer within the
six-month period, the permittee, at its expense, shall immediately
make such repairs and take protective measures as directed by the
Director/Village Engineer.
E. In any case where the permittee fails to timely and properly maintain the area restored, the Director/Village Engineer pursuant to §§
229-10 and
229-52 may cause the work to be done by the Village's own forces or by contract and the expenses incurred shall be paid by the permittee and, if not timely paid, the expenses shall be deducted from the deposit.
F. Any
road plate placed on a roadway within the Village shall have nonskid
coating and be marked to identify the responsible contractor’s
name. All plates shall be ramped and pinned to prevent plates from
moving and rattling, and bridging shall be used where necessary to
prevent any noise from passing vehicles.
G. During
the period from December 1 through March 30 of any year, any road
plate in use shall be recessed flush with the surrounding roadway.
The permittee shall be responsible, until the end of the period of
maintenance, to maintain any temporary or permanent restoration, and
shall, within 24 hours of notice from the Village, patch any potholes
or other defects that have developed.
Prior to the replacement of bituminous pavements which have been removed pursuant to a permit required by §
229-25, the subgrade shall be properly prepared and a reinforced concrete foundation of required thickness and proportions shall be placed thereon, all in accordance with the requirements for concrete pavements outlined in §
229-47. The existing bituminous pavement shall then be neatly cut back a distance of not less than six inches from the edges of the new concrete foundation. The entire foundation so exposed shall be thoroughly cleaned in an acceptable manner and a new bituminous pavement surface of approved type and thickness shall be placed thereon and rolled in an acceptable manner.
In resurfacing existing macadam pavements which have been removed pursuant to a permit required by §
229-25, the permittee shall cut back the existing pavement a distance of not less than one foot beyond the edges of the excavation. Such distance shall not be reduced without prior approval of the Director and may be increased by the Director if the existing pavement has been undermined by the excavation or by any work connected therewith. The smallest horizontal dimensions shall be not less than six feet.
Any surfaces other than concrete, bituminous or macadam disturbed by reason of the work performed under the permit required by §
229-25 shall be restored by the permittee as directed by the Director.
The Director may, in his discretion, cause any or all of the work contemplated in this division to be done by the Village's own forces or by contract or otherwise, in which ease the Village shall be reimbursed for any expense incurred thereby in accordance with the provisions of §
229-10 of this chapter, and the permittee shall have no claim against the Village for loss of anticipated profits or for any other losses by reason thereof.
