All construction activities shall be subject to the contractor,
if required, having a duly issued and valid construction permit on
display at the job site. Outside construction activities will be permitted
on any day for an emergency which must first be called into the City
Police Department with an explanation of the nature of the emergency,
or for storm preparedness or cleanup for a declared weather related
emergency; provided that if a construction permit is required but
has not been issued, the work satisfies the exception for emergency
work pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of the New
Jersey Uniform Construction Code, N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.14 and the contractor
takes all required steps to comply with such requirements. Outside
construction activities will also be permitted on Sundays with the
prior approval of the City Manager and only during the hours approved
by the City Manager if the performance of outside construction activities
is necessary because of an unusual period of inclement weather which
has caused unreasonable delays in the performance of work by a contractor.
