Each applicant (except a public service company
which has posted a bond with the State of Connecticut as provided
in Section 16-230 of the Connecticut General Statutes, covering the
type of work to be performed under the terms of the permit) shall
carry for the duration of the permit, naming the Town of Wilton as
an additional insured party, liability insurance coverage for damage
to property and personal injuries and upon the operation of all motor
vehicles, including those hired or borrowed, with the minimum coverage
limits provided by such insurance policies satisfactory to the Board
of Selectmen. Such insurance shall be furnished at no cost to the
Town, and the applicant will furnish on a form or forms acceptable
to the Town a certificate of insurance fully executed by an insurance
company satisfactory to the Town for the insurance policy or policies
required above.
After the permit has been obtained by the applicant,
it will be his responsibility to notify the Town's Police Department
and Fire Department at least 24 hours prior to commencing with work.
During the course of work, adequate warning
signs, including warning to turn off two-way radios and/or designated
detour routes, lights and police supervision, if necessary, shall
be provided by the applicant, at his own expense, subject to approval
by the Chief of Police.
The person or firm to whom the permit is issued
shall prosecute the work diligently at all times, and the manner of
working shall be under the immediate direction of the Director of
Public Works. Failure to conform to his direction shall be cause for
revocation of the permit.
In the case of highway excavation, the construction
procedures established by the Department of Public Works shall be
followed. The excavator shall, at all times, keep any adjacent highway
areas free of loose material, and measures shall be taken to prevent
excessive dusting to minimize the inconvenience to the adjacent landowners
and the traveling public. Upon completion of the work covered by the
permit, all disturbed surfaces shall be restored to their original
condition so far as is reasonably possible, and the person or firm
to whom the permit was issued shall be responsible for maintaining
the newly surfaced areas for a period of one year after the work is
completed.
In case of an emergency, the First Selectman
or the Director of Public Works may authorize or ratify the opening
of or excavation within a public highway without following the procedures
and requirements of this ordinance.
Any person who violates any provision of this
ordinance shall be fined not less than $25 nor more than $100.
