[Amended 6-7-1999 by Ord. No. 15-99]
It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, corporation or public body to make any excavation in or tear up the surface, for any purpose whatsoever, of any road, street or public parking area which is under the jurisdiction of the Borough of Mendham without a written permit first having been obtained from the Borough Council as herein provided. The applicant shall pay a fee to the borough as set forth in Chapter
102, Fees, plus a fee as set forth in Chapter
102, Fees, for each resubmission, provided that the application is not in connection with a subdivision.
Application must be made on the forms provided
by the borough by the firm, corporation, person or public body for
a permit. The application shall state the purpose of the proposed
excavation, the type and depth of the installation or work to be accomplished
and the anticipated duration of the work proposed. The form must be
filled out completely and signed by an authorized representative of
the firm, corporation or public body.
A permit shall not be issued unless and until
the applicant has delivered to the borough:
A. A cash deposit in accordance with a schedule of fees
established by the borough to defray and satisfy all expenses to the
borough for inspection and other attendant costs.
B. Unless covered by a utility agreement, a deposit of cash surety for each opening, the amount to be determined by the borough. Upon completion of satisfactory repairs, the deposit will be returned, provided that no maintenance bond is required. (See §
190-41.)
C. A certificate of insurance evidencing that the applicant
has obtained a comprehensive general liability insurance policy, a
workmen's compensation and employer's liability policy and a comprehensive
automobile insurance policy and guaranteeing notification to the borough
in the event of cancellation thereof. The comprehensive general liability
and automobile insurance policies shall have limits of at least $1,000,000
for bodily injury to each person, $2,000,000 in the aggregate for
each accident, property liability of $500,000 for each accident and
$1,000,000 aggregate property damage. Since the permittee's insurance
certificates do not cover subcontract work, all subcontractors employed
by the permittee must submit their own insurance certificates in the
amounts required above.
[Amended 6-7-1999 by Ord. No. 15-99]
Subsequent to the issuance of the permit, no
change or deviations from the work as described in the application
and plan shall be permitted without written approval of the borough.
