Village of Clyman, WI General Regulations

General. Concrete sidewalk construction shall meet the specifications and provisions set forth in this section and shall be constructed in locations and to line and grade as established by the Village.

Grading. Prior to construction, ground on which sidewalks are to be placed shall be brought to within three inches of subgrade by the contractor.

Subgrades: remove all dirt below the grade line; and the space shall be filled with crushed stone, sand, or gravel. The base shall be left four inches thick after being tamped, with the stone or gravel to be not larger than 1 1/2 inches in diameter and to be free from dirt, dust and foreign matter. Soft, porous and unsuitable subgrade material shall be removed and replaced with sand, gravel, or other satisfactory materials, and the subgrade shall be thoroughly and uniformly compacted and moistened immediately before the concrete is placed. On embankments, the upgrade shall extend to at least allow room for form work beyond each edge of the sidewalk.

Concrete. The minimum quantity of cement per cubic yard shall be no less than five ninety-four-pound sacks. Concrete shall be mixed for at least one minute. Gravel shall be of good quality and washed. Concrete shall test 3,000 pounds of compression in 28 days. Bituminous sidewalks are prohibited.

Jointing. Expansion joints 1/2 inch thick and four feet wide shall be placed at fifty-foot maximum intervals. At all places where a walk intersects another walk or curbline, a one-half-inch expansion joint shall be placed.

(6)

Slope. To provide adequate drainage, the sidewalk shall slope toward the curb at a minimum rate of 1/4 inch per foot of width of sidewalk. All joints and edges shall be finished with a one-fourths-inch radius edging tool. Sidewalks shall be constructed within the limits of the street, and unless otherwise specifically indicated, there shall be a six-inch strip of street property left between the property line and the edge of the sidewalk. At its discretion, the Village has a right to inspect/approve form work prior to pouring.

(7)

Width and thickness.

(a)

All residential sidewalks in the Village shall be four feet in width.

(b)

The width of sidewalks in commercial areas shall be as determined by the Village Board.

(d)

One-half-inch reinforcement rod shall be used when replacing or repairing sidewalks over alley entrances.

(8)

Curing and drying. As soon as any of the concrete work hereinbefore mentioned has been finished and hardened sufficiently to prevent excessive marring of the surface, it shall be cured and protected against rapid drying. Failure to comply with this requirement shall be deemed sufficient cause for suspension of the work. Curing shall be accomplished by the impervious coating, wet fabric, or paper methods. For imperious coating or membrane curing, only those materials meeting requirements of ASTM Specification C156-44-T, "Method of Test for Efficiency of Materials for Curing Concrete," shall be used. Said specifications are hereby adopted by reference as if fully set forth herein.

(9)

Finishing. The concrete shall be struck off true to grade, finished smooth and given a broom finish. All edges shall be rounded. No tool marks shall be left on exposed surfaces. In case of rain, the walk shall be covered to protect the surface from being damaged. Walks shall be kept free from all traffic at normal temperatures for 48 hours and in cold weather (below 50° F.) for 96 hours. No concrete shall be poured when the temperature may be expected to fall below 35° F. in any seventy-two-hour period or upon frozen subgrade.

(10)

Higher standards. Where deemed necessary by the Village, higher sidewalk standards may be required by the Village Board.

Repair or replacement of defective sidewalks.

The Village Board may determine that any sidewalk which is unsafe, defective, or insufficient be repaired or removed and replaced with a sidewalk in accordance with this section. The existence of any one or more of the hereinafter enumerated characteristics shall determine whether a sidewalk is defective or insufficient:

(a)

Three-fourths-inch or more vertical differential between adjacent sharp edged individual sidewalk blocks (crack in slab) and between adjacent round edged individual sidewalk blocks (joint).

(b)

One-and one-fourth-inch horizontal distance between adjacent individual sidewalk blocks.

(c)

Deterioration of the surface to a vertical depth of 1/2 inch or more within each individual sidewalk block.

If 80% of a property owner's sidewalk blocks are determined to be defective or insufficient, the entire sidewalk shall be replaced.

Curb cut. Driveway curb cuts must be performed by concrete cutting equipment specifically designed for this use. In lieu of cutting the curb, the entire curb and gutter section may be removed and replaced. Any pavement damages as a result of this work must be repaired by the owner or his agent.

Illegal sidewalks. No sidewalk which shall be constructed contrary to the provisions of this section shall be considered a legal sidewalk and the same may be ordered to be replaced with a legal sidewalk and with one that is in conformity with this section, the same as if no sidewalk whatever had been build or constructed in the place where any such sidewalk is located.

Bond.

Before a permit for excavating or opening any street or public way may be issued, the applicant must sign a statement that he will indemnify and save harmless the Village of Clyman and its officers from all liability for accidents and damage caused by any of the work covered by his permit, and that he will fill up and place in good and safe condition all excavations and openings made in the street, and will replace and restore the pavement over any opening he may make as near as can be to the state and condition in which he found it, and keep and maintain the same in such condition, normal wear and tear excepted, to the satisfaction of the Village Board for a period of one year, and that he will pay all fines of forfeitures imposed upon him for any violation of any rule, regulation or ordinance governing street openings or drainlaying adopted by the Village Board and will repair any damage done to existing improvements during the progress of the excavation in accordance with the ordinances, rules and regulations of the Village. Such statement shall also guarantee that, if the Village shall elect to make the street repair, the person opening the street will pay all costs of making such repair and of maintaining the same for one year.

Faulty work or materials shall be immediately replaced by the permittee upon notice by the Village. Failure to correct deficiencies shall result in a one-year revocation of the right to obtain a street opening permit. The Village shall repair the deficiencies and bill the permittee for all labor, materials and equipment used plus 20% for administration.

The person who does such restoration shall be responsible therefor for one year from the date of the completion of the work and shall file a written guarantee or surety bond to that effect with the Village in an amount determined by the Village Board.

Whenever the Village Board shall find that any such work has become defective within one year of the date of completion, it shall give written notice thereof to the contractor or to his surety stating the defect, the work to be done, the cost thereof and the period of time deemed by the Village Board to be reasonably necessary to complete said work. After receipt of such notice, the contractor or the surety must, within the time specified, repair the defect or indemnify the Village for the cost of doing the work as set forth in the notice.

An annual bond may be given under this section covering all excavation work done by the principal for one year beginning January 1, which shall be conditioned as specified above and in the amount determined by the Village Board as necessary to adequately protect the public and the Village.

§ 370-7 Regulations governing excavations and openings.

Frozen ground. No openings in the streets, alleys, sidewalks or public ways shall be permitted between November 15 and April 1 except where it is determined by the Village Board or its designee to be an emergency excavation.

Protection of public.

Every opening and excavation shall be enclosed with sufficient barriers, signing, and such other traffic control devices as may be required by the Village Board or its designee, and in accordance with Section VI of the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Sufficient warning lights shall be kept on from sunrise to sunset. No open flame warning devices shall be used. Except by special permission from the Director of Public Works, no trench shall be excavated more than 250 feet in advance of pipe or conduit laying nor left unfilled more than 500 feet from where pipe or conduit has been laid.

All necessary precautions shall be taken to guard the public effectively from accidents or damage to persons or property through the period of the work. Each person making such opening shall be held liable for all damages, including costs incurred by the Village in defending any action brought against it for damages, as well as cost of any appeal, that may result from the neglect by such person or his employees of any necessary precaution against injury or damage to persons, vehicles or property of any kind.

Unless otherwise approved, a minimum of one lane of traffic in each direction shall be provided. Every effort shall be made on the part of the permittee to provide reasonable access to all properties adjacent to his project. In the event traffic is limited to less than one lane in each direction, a flagman or temporary traffic control signal shall be provided so as to safely cycle traffic in each direction past the work area.

The permittee shall perform the work in such a manner so as not to disrupt the flow of traffic in the area or endanger the safety of workmen or passersby. It shall be the responsibility of the permittee to prevent traffic backup during construction operation. The permittee shall notify the Director of Public Works 24 hours prior to commencement of excavation of the location and extent of the excavation, unless the excavation is an emergency excavation as identified in Section 6-2-4(b).

When the operations will result in the loss of any utility service to private properties, the private properties shall be notified in writing or by personal contact at least 12 hours prior to the loss of service, unless the operations are part of an emergency excavation as defined in § 370-7H.

Pavement removal.

Removal of existing pavement shall be to neat, straight lines. The permittee shall make a final saw cut in the existing pavement after backfilling. Excavations shall be kept to the minimum possible and acceptable for the convenience and safe performance of his work and in accordance with all applicable codes and regulations.

If the pavement is damaged during excavation beyond the original saw cut lines, it shall be saw cut again along neat, straight lines. The finished saw cut shall leave a regular rectangular section for pavement replacement. Should the street opening occur within adjacent or close to an existing patch or require more than one opening within a short distance, the permittee shall identify and locate the existing patches or additional openings on the permit application form. The Director of Public Works shall, on the basis of an on-site inspection, approximate the boundaries of the pavement replacement area.

Pavement replacement areas with the long dimension in the direction of travel shall have the long dimension parallel with the curbline or the direction of travel. Pavement replacement areas in concrete pavements shall be parallel with or at right angles to the direction of travel.

The Director of Public Works may order the permittee to remove and replace up to one full lane width of pavement along the patched or excavated area. Special care shall be taken with concrete pavement to produce a vertical face on the existing concrete at the point of the saw cut to insure a full depth of concrete at the joint.

Excavation.

All excavated material shall be piled in a manner such that pedestrian and motor traffic is not unnecessarily disrupted, gutters shall be kept clear or other satisfactory provisions made for street drainage, and natural watercourses shall not be obstructed.

Excavated material to be used for backfilling of the trench must be so handled and placed as to be of as little inconvenience as practical to public travel and adjoining tenants.

Backfilling.

All backfill material shall be free from cinders, ashes, refuse, vegetable or organic matter, boulders, rocks or stones greater than eight inches in their greatest dimension, frozen lumps or other material which in, in the opinion of the Director of Public Works, is unsuitable.

In refilling the excavation, if there is not sufficient material excavated suitable for refilling, the deficiency shall be made up with material, approved prior to use by the Director of Public Works, hauled in.

Wherever an excavation crosses an existing utility, pipe or other structure, backfill shall be carefully compacted in stages from the bottom of the excavation. Any sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water, telephone, natural gas or other service shall not be interrupted by the permittee. It shall be the permittee's responsibility to have the various utilities locate and mark their facilities prior to excavation.

Mechanical compaction shall be used on all materials used for trench backfill. Each layer (twelve-inch maximum) shall be uniformly compacted to a dry density of at least 95% of the maximum dry density as determined by the Modified Proctor Test (ASTM-1557). Compaction or consolidation by flooding shall not be permitted.

All excavations shall be subject to testing by the Village. Backfilled material not achieving the above compaction requirements shall be removed and recompacted by the permittee. The cost of any retesting shall be paid by the permittee.

(6)

When the sides of the trench will not stand perpendicular, sheathing and braces shall be used to prevent caving. No timber, bracing, lagging, sheathing or other lumber shall be left in any trench. At no time shall any street pavements be permitted to overhang the excavation.

Notice. It shall be the duty of the permittee to notify the Village Clerk-Treasurer or Director of Public Works and all public and private individuals, firms and corporations affected by the work to be done at least one business day before such work is to commence. The Village Clerk-Treasurer or Director of Public Works shall also be notified at least four hours prior to backfilling and/or restoring the surface.

Pavement replacement.

Backfill material shall be left below the original surface to allow for four inches of three-inch crushed stone and four inches of three-fourths-inch crushed stone, plus the thickness of the required pavement structure. If paving will not occur as part of the initial street restoration operation, the balance of the opening to the original surface elevation shall be backfilled with compacted three-fourths-inch crushed stone.

Bituminous pavement shall be placed the full depth of the existing pavement or 2 1/2 inches, whichever is greater. Bituminous pavement shall be placed in a maximum of a one-and-one-half-inch base layer and a one-inch top layer, with each layer compacted to maximum density and shall consist of Wisconsin Department of Transportation Gradation No. 1 for the binder course and Wisconsin Department of Transportation No. 3 for the surface course. The finished surface shall be smooth and free of surface irregularities and shall match the existing pavement and any castings or street appurtenances. Allowable deviations shall be no more than 1/4 inch as measured with a ten-foot straight edge.

Concrete pavement shall be placed to the full depth of the existing pavement or seven inches, whichever is greater. Concrete used shall not contain calcium chloride. The surface shall be given a light broom finish. The edges shall be tooled to prevent spalling at the saw cut edge. The surface shall be evenly and completely sealed with a white pigmented curing compound. The surface shall be protected from traffic for a minimum of three days. Tie bars shall be installed as directed by Village officials.

In emergency excavations during winter months when it is not possible to replace the removed pavement with a like material, the excavation shall be temporarily resurfaced with a minimum of three inches of cold mix bituminous material. This temporary wearing surface shall be compacted and rolled smooth. These temporary wearing surfaces shall be removed and replaced with material as specified above by not later than the following June 1, except as provided above. Permanent pavements shall be replaced within 60 days of the date of the permit.

Emergency excavation. In the event of an emergency, any person, firm or corporation owning or controlling any sewer, gas main, water main, conduit or other utility in or under any public street, alley easement, way or ground and his agents and employees make take immediate proper emergency measures to remedy dangerous conditions for the protection of property, life, health or safety without obtaining an excavation permit, provided that such person, firm or corporation shall apply for an excavation permit not later than the next business day and shall notify the Village office immediately.

Excavation in new streets limited. Whenever the Village Board determines to provide for the permanent improvement or repaving of any street, such determination shall be made not less than 30 days before the work of improvement or repaving shall begin. Immediately after such determination by the Village Board, the Village Clerk-Treasurer shall notify in writing each person, utility or other agency owning or controlling any sewer, water main, conduit or other utility in or under said street or any real property abutting said street, that all such excavation work in such street must be completed within 30 days. After such permanent improvement or repaving, no permit shall be issued to open or excavate said street for a period of five years after the date of improvement or repaving unless, in the opinion of the Village Board or its designee, conditions exist which make it absolutely essential that the permit be issued. Every effort shall be made to place gas, electric, telephone and television cable lines in street terraces.

§ 370-8 Obstructions and encroachments.

Obstructions and encroachments prohibited. No person shall encroach upon or in any way obstruct or encumber any street, alley, sidewalk, public grounds or land dedicated to public use, or any part thereof, or permit such encroachment or encumbrance to be placed or remain on any public way adjoining the premises of which he is the owner or occupant, except as provided in Subsections B and C.
