[Adopted 1-8-1990]
No person, firm or corporation, including public
utility companies, shall excavate within or under any portion of any
town highway without first obtaining a permit therefor from the chief
executive officer of the Town of Simsbury or his designee. The chief
executive officer may, from time to time, designate another official
of the town to act as his designee for the purposes provided in this
Article. Permits shall be obtained and all construction and restoration
shall be in accordance with the requirements of the Highway Right-of-Way
Permit Program, as the same may be amended from time to time, a copy
of which is available from the Simsbury Public Works Department.
The chief executive officer or his designee
shall require a bond, either in cash or with surety, in form and amount
satisfactory to and approved by him, to guarantee to the Town of Simsbury
the performance by the permittee of his obligation to complete the
permitted activities and to restore or reconstruct the disturbed portion
of the highway or the drainage system. A certificate of insurance
shall be submitted for contractors' liability for the coverage types
and amounts required by the Simsbury Public Works Department.
The chief executive officer or his designee
shall grant such permit upon the posting of a bond and a certificate
of insurance as hereinbefore provided.
Any person who violates any provision of this
Article shall be fined not more than $90.
