No person shall be issued a permit for street
opening until he/she has first furnished satisfactory proof to the
Superintendent that he/she is qualified to perform the work under
the conditions of the permit.
No change in the established grades for streets,
drainage and related work shall be permitted without first submitting
a profile and such other data necessary for proper consideration and
formal action by the Board of Public Works.
It shall be the duty of any person by whom or
for whose benefit any street opening is to be made for any purpose
whatsoever in the City to give written notice thereof to any company
whose pipes, conduits or other structures are laid in the street in
which the work is to be done by the permittee under the provisions
of a street-opening permit 24 hours before commencing such opening
or work; and such person doing such work shall, at his/her own expense,
carefully support, maintain in operation and protect from injury such
pipes, conduits or other structures and, in case of injury, shall
restore the same, at his/her own expense, to as good a condition as
they were before the beginning of such opening or work.
Excavated material shall be stored in neat piles,
so placed as to cause the least interference with the use of the roadway
or sidewalks. If so ordered by the Superintendent, such excavated
material shall be promptly removed from the site of the work.
Immediately following backfilling of an excavation,
the permittee shall place thereon an acceptable temporary resurfacing.
Such resurfacing shall be an approved bituminous material and shall
be maintained even with the roadway or other surface, as directed,
until permanent restoration is started.
All permanent restoration of paving will be
done by the forces of the Board of Public Works at the expense of
the permittee at a schedule of rates on file in the office of the
City Clerk. The rates shall be as follows:
