Latest version.

  • (a)

    A single construction permit shall be issued for each job; however, no more than ten (10) calendar days will be allowed to complete the work, including restoration from commencement of work. The City Engineer may approve an extension of time upon written request from the contractor showing good cause.

    (b)

    No contractor shall engage in any excavation or demolition in a public easement or right-of way without first marking the location of such proposed excavation with white paint, white flags, or white buoys, as appropriate; such markings shall conform to the recommended guidelines for uniform temporary markings of underground facilities as established by the American Public Works Association or the State of Florida, and shall occur before the person or entity provides the State One-Call Notification System, with any information as required by Chapter 556, Florida Statutes.

    (c)

    A separate permit shall be secured from the Office of Permitting Services for any exploratory digging, unless the exploratory work is done concurrently with the installation work. Restoration of all dig locations must comply with the City's Engineering Standards Manual standards or other applicable standards and guidelines.

    (d)

    Construction Bonds: Except in the event of an emergency, prior to issuing a permit where the work under the permit will require restoration of public right-of-way, the City may require a Construction Bond to secure the restoration of the public right-of-way in the amount of the estimated cost of restoration.

    (e)

    Any markings made by a contractor or member operator pursuant to either this section or Chapter 556, Florida Statutes, shall be made using chalk-based paint, except as permitted below. Any contractor or member operator who fails to comply with the requirements enumerated herein will be required to remove all markings and fully restore any damage, by methods approved by the City's Public Works Department. Markings shall be made with chalk-based paint on the sidewalk, brick pavers, asphalt, and any other surface other than earth or vegetation surfaces. Where markings are made on earth or vegetation surfaces, acrylic paint can be used. In areas where chalk-based paint is required, off set marks can be made with acrylic paint provided that such marks are made on earth or vegetation surfaces.
