A. Work under the permit shall be done in conformity with this code, the Standards and Specifications, the permit, and all applicable laws. Permittee shall give the City a minimum of 48 hours’ notice prior to starting any work and requesting any required inspections. No excavation may be done under any permit unless the permittee has complied with all requirements for locating existing underground facilities in the area to be excavated. For purposes of this section, excavation includes drilling and directional drilling. The work shall be performed without delay. All work must be performed by contractors who are on the City’s list of qualified contractors. The work shall not interfere with access to fire hydrants or with City or public utilities.

B. An immediate patch must be placed within 48 hours of completion of the work, any excavation shall be filled, compacted, and the street surface restored to as good or better condition than before the work and in conformity with City standards. Final pavement restoration will be completed within 30 days. For work on arterial and collector roadways, additional conditions may be placed on the permit requiring interim paving restoration prior to the entire scope of work being completed.

C. Cold-mix asphalt patching will only be allowed as a temporary measure during adverse weather conditions and the permanent patching shall be placed as soon as weather permits. During periods of the year when hot asphalt material is not available, the contractor shall submit a Material Exception form for approval and shall perform the final paving restoration as soon as reasonably possible when the material becomes available and no later than June 15 of each year.

D. Traffic signs or signals, or other signs shall be returned to their prior location and condition, unless otherwise directed. If any traffic signs are required to be removed and reinstalled, or relocated, they should be brought up to current Standards and Specifications.

E. Work performed under a right-of-way permit may be performed only by contractors on the City’s list of qualified contractors. The City, at its discretion and upon review of required qualifications, may place a contractor on the list of qualified contractors if the contractor provides information that the contractor is responsible and has sufficient experience, knowledge, skill and resources to properly perform work in rights-of-way. The list may specify specific types of work that the contractor is qualified to do. The City may deny a request to be placed on the list or remove a contractor from the list if the City determines that the contractor lacks the necessary experience, knowledge, skill, or resources to properly perform work in rights-of-way or if the contractor has a history of poor performance. Poor performance includes, but is not limited to: delays or lateness in work, poor quality work, failure of work to last through warranty periods, lack of proper project management, or other defects in performance.
