[Adopted 6-7-2010 by Ord. No. 24-2010]
The following words, when used in this article, shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in this section, except in those instances
where the context clearly indicates otherwise:
Any person who makes application for a permit.
Any unforeseen circumstance which calls for immediate action.
The Township Engineer of the Township of Livingston or his
authorized deputy, representative or inspector.
Any trench opening, which shall be no greater than five feet
in width and 15 feet in length. Any opening larger in size than that
described hereinabove shall be considered by the Engineer when determining
fees.
Any person who has been issued a permit and has agreed to
fulfill all the terms of this article.
Includes any natural person, partnership, firm, association,
utility or corporation.
The improved portion of the right-of-way of any public street,
public highway, public way, public road or public easement within
the Township, including that portion of the right-of-way improved
with curbs and sidewalks.
The Township of Livingston, Essex County, New Jersey.
It shall be unlawful for any person to make any tunnel, opening
or excavation of any kind in or under the surface of any street, except
for the erection of public utility poles, as provided for by the Public
Utility Law, without first securing a permit from the Township of
Livingston for each separate undertaking. In no event shall any street
opening occur within one year of any street having been surfaced,
except in the event of an emergency as provided for hereinbelow. Any
person maintaining pipes, lines or underground conduits in or under
the surface of any street by virtue of any law, ordinance or franchise
may proceed with an excavation or opening without a permit when emergency
circumstances demand the work be done immediately and where the permit
could not reasonably and practically have been obtained beforehand.
Such person, however, shall thereafter apply for a permit on the first
regular business day on which the office of the Township Engineer
is open for business, and said permit shall be retroactive to the
date when the work was begun.
No person to whom a permit has been granted under the provisions
of this article shall perform any of the work authorized by such permit
in any amount or quantity greater than that specified in the permit,
except that, upon approval by the Engineer and payment of the additional
fee, additional work may be done under the provisions of the permit
in an amount not greater than 10% of the amount specified in the permit.
Any deposit and bond posted in connection with the original permit
shall be deemed to cover such additional work as may be approved pursuant
to this section.
Work for which a permit has been issued pursuant to this article shall commence within 30 days after the issuance of the permit therefor. If not so commenced, the permit shall be automatically terminated. The permittee may, within 60 days of the issuance of the permit, request, in writing, the refund of the permit fee paid. The application fee of $75 is nonrefundable. Permits thus terminated may be renewed upon the payment of an additional application fee and the required permit and inspection fees as determined by the Township Engineer and defined within § 274-51.
Permits issued under this article are not transferable from
one person to another, and the work shall be carried out only at the
location specifically designated in the permit.
Every permit issued hereunder shall expire at the end of the
period of time specified in the permit. If the permittee shall be
unable to complete the work within the specified time, he shall, prior
to expiration of the permit, present, in writing, to the Engineer
a request for an extension of time, setting forth therein the reasons
for the requested extension. If, in the opinion of the Engineer, such
an extension is necessary, the permittee may be granted additional
time for the completion of the work.
Every permit issued hereunder shall be granted subject to the
right of the Township or any other person entitled thereto to use
the street for any purpose for which such street may lawfully be used.
A.
Every permit issued under this article may be revoked by the Engineer
after notice for:
B.
Written notice of such violation shall be served upon the person
to whom the permit was granted or his agent or employee engaged in
the work. Such notice shall also contain a brief statement of the
reasons for revoking such permit. Notice may be given either by personal
delivery thereof to the person to be notified or by United States
mail, addressed to such person to be notified.
C.
Upon receiving notice of revocation of a permit, the contractor is immediately to suspend all work originally covered by the permit. He will proceed with backfill and repair of the opening. Failure to properly backfill and repair the opening will result in the Township utilizing either the deposit or the performance bond to effect proper repairs. The contractor will be penalized as stated in § 274-52.
B.
The Engineer shall have a minimum of three working days to review
the application. The Engineer, after reviewing said application form,
will approve or deny the street opening permit.
(1)
When the Engineer denies the application, he will so advise the applicant,
in writing, along with an explanation as to the reason or reasons
the permit is denied.
(2)
When the Engineer approves an application, he will advise the applicant as to the requisite fees, as provided in § 274-51. He shall further advise the applicant of the applicant's responsibility to provide liability insurance and a surety bond necessary to cover the work proposed in said application and as more particularly set forth in § 274-43 hereinbelow.
(3)
Once the applicant meets all requirements stated by the Engineer,
the Engineer will then grant the permit.
C.
The application for a permit shall:
(1)
Contain an agreement on the part of the applicant that the work shall
be done in full compliance with the ordinances of the Township and
the laws of the State of New Jersey in relation thereto.
(2)
Furnish, in duplicate, plans showing the extent of the proposed excavation
work, the dimensions and elevations of both the existing ground prior
to said excavation and of the proposed excavated surfaces, the location
of the excavation work, and such other information as may be prescribed
by the Engineer.
(3)
Agree to save the Township, its officers, employees and agents from
any and all costs, damages and liabilities which may accrue or be
claimed to accrue by reason of said work to be done in said application.
The acceptance of any permit under this article shall constitute such
agreement by the applicant, whether the same is expressed or not.
A.
It should be the duty and responsibility of any person obtaining a permit to pay a permit fee, nonrefundable (except as provided in § 274-32), for the issuance of an excavation permit, which shall be in addition to all other fees for permits or charges relative to any proposed construction work. The minimum excavation permit fee shall be in the amount varying with the type, amount and age of the surface to be opened, dug or excavated under the permit issued, as provided in § 274-51.
C.
The applicant shall deposit with the Township of Livingston a surety bond as required in § 274-43 hereinbelow.
D.
The applicant shall submit, when required by the Engineer, a list
of owners and tenants of all property abutting the area where the
work authorized by the permit is to be performed.
E.
It should be the duty and responsibility of any person obtaining
a permit to keep the original copy of the permit at all times while
such work is in progress and show such permit upon demand to any authorized
representative of the Township.
A.
No openings or excavations in any street shall extend beyond the
center line of the street until the surface of the street is restored
to a condition safe and convenient for travel.
B.
The work of excavation shall be so conducted as not to interfere
with any utility lines or connections or other underground facilities,
unless permission of the proper authorities in connection with such
facilities shall have been obtained.
C.
The permittee shall expose all utilities facilities, including sewers,
storm drains, gas mains, water mains, telephone and electrical conduits,
and other utility obstructions, sufficiently ahead of trench excavation
work to avoid damage to those facilities and to permit their relocation
if necessary.
D.
Where a pipe drain, pipe culvert or other structure or facility is
encountered, it shall be replaced, restored, straightened or protected
by the permittee.
E.
If, in the process of his work, the permittee damages any public
or private utility property, the utility may make the necessary repairs
and file a claim against the permittee with the Township for the cost
thereof. If the claim is not paid promptly by the permittee, the amount
may be withheld by the Engineer from the deposit or charged against
the permittee's performance bond.
F.
Any monument of granite, concrete, iron, steel, brass or other lasting
material set for the purpose of locating or preserving the lines of
any street or property subdivision or a precise survey reference point
or a permanent survey benchmark within the Township shall not be removed
or disturbed or caused to be removed or disturbed without first obtaining
permission, in writing, from the Engineer to do so. Permission shall
be granted only upon the condition that the permittee shall pay all
expenses incidental to its proper replacement.
G.
If any work performed under the permit interferes with the established
drainage system of any street, provisions shall be made by the permittee
to provide proper drainage to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
H.
When any earth, sand, gravel, rock, stone or other excavated material
is caused to be deposited upon or to roll, flow or wash upon any street
so as to create a nuisance or endanger life or property, the person
responsible therefor shall cause the same to be removed immediately
from the street upon notification to do so by the Engineer. In the
event that it is not removed within eight hours after notification,
the Engineer shall cause such removal, and the cost of such removal
shall be paid by the permittee or deducted from his deposit.
I.
To protect the public, every permittee shall place around the project
such barriers, barricades, lights, warning flags and danger signs
as shall be determined by the Livingston Police Department. All safety
requirements and precautionary measures shall be based upon and in
conformance with law and specifically, where applicable, the Manual
on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, including all amendments (latest
edition). Whenever any person fails to provide or maintain the safety
devices required by the Police Department, such devices shall be installed
and maintained by the Township. The amount of the cost incurred shall
be paid by the permittee or deducted from his deposit. No unauthorized
person shall willfully move, remove, injure, destroy or extinguish
any barrier, warning light, sign or notice erected, placed or posted
in accordance with the provisions of this article.
J.
While work is in progress and while workmen are on the site, every
permittee shall maintain safe crossing for vehicle traffic at all
street intersections and safe crossings for pedestrians at intervals
of not more than 300 feet. Two lanes of traffic shall be held open
at all intersections, where possible, by the removal of dirt and the
use of covering steel plates. While work is in progress and workmen
are not on the site, all excavations, whether at intersections or
elsewhere, shall be covered by steel plates. All plates must lie firmly
secured and, when necessary and practical, embedded in bituminous
material, so as to withstand the normal flow of traffic on the street.
When the size and character of the excavation make it impractical
to use steel plates, the permittee shall so advise the Engineer at
the time when he applies for his permit and shall not proceed with
the work until he obtains the Engineer's consent not to use steel
plates.
K.
Access to private driveways shall be provided except during working
hours when construction operations prohibit provision of such access.
Free access must be provided at all times to fire hydrants.
L.
All materials excavated shall be laid compactly along the side of
the trench and kept trimmed up so as to cause as little inconvenience
as possible to public travel. Wherever necessary, in the opinion of
the Engineer, in order to expedite the flow of traffic or to abate
a dirt or dust nuisance, toe boards or bins will be required to prevent
the spreading of dirt into traffic lanes; temporary wooden plank walks
shall be installed where the excavated area is muddy and causes inconvenience
to pedestrians. If the street is not wide enough to hold the excavated
material without using part of the adjacent sidewalk, the permittee
or his agent shall keep a passageway at least 1/2 the sidewalk width
open along such sidewalk line.
M.
In the case of any leak, explosion or other accident in any subsurface
pipe, line or other facility, it shall be lawful for the person owning
or responsible for such facility to commence an excavation to remedy
such condition before securing a permit, provided that application
for a permit shall be made immediately and not later than the next
business day thereafter and that all other provisions of this article
are fully complied with. If any such emergency condition shall not
be immediately attended to by the owner or person responsible for
such facility, the Engineer, after such notice as he shall deem necessary
under the circumstances of the particular case, shall proceed to do
the same on the basis of cost plus 15% to such person.
N.
In granting any permit under this article, the Engineer may attach
such other conditions thereto as may be reasonably necessary to prevent
danger to public or private property or to prevent the operation from
being conducted in a manner hazardous to life or property or in a
manner likely to create a nuisance. Such conditions may include, but
shall not be limited to:
(1)
Limitations on the period of the year in which the work may be performed.
(2)
Restrictions as to the size and type of equipment.
(3)
Designation of routes upon which material may be transported.
(4)
The place and manner of disposal of excavated materials.
(5)
Requirements as to the laying of dust, cleaning of streets, the prevention
of noises and other results offensive or injurious to the neighborhood,
the general public or any portion thereof.
(6)
Regulations as to the use of streets in the course of the work.
A.
All pavement cuts, openings and excavations shall be properly made
and backfilled according to Township specifications.
B.
The Engineer must be notified by the permittee not more than 48 hours,
nor less than 24 hours, prior to the beginning of work or the date
and approximate time at which work will be begun.
C.
No work shall be performed by the permittee unless or until the Engineer
shall be present or permission has been given by the Engineer to proceed
in his absence.
D.
Whenever it is necessary to break through existing pavement for excavation
purposes and where trenches are to be four feet or over in depth,
the pavement in the base shall be removed at least one foot beyond
the outer limits of the subgrade that is to be disturbed in order
to prevent settlement, and a one-foot shoulder of undisturbed material
shall be provided in each side of the excavated trench. The face of
the remaining pavement shall be approximately vertical. A power-driven
concrete saw shall be used so as to permit complete breakage of concrete
pavement without ragged edges. Asphalt paving shall be scored or otherwise
cut in a straight line. No pile driver may be used in breaking up
the pavement.
E.
No tunneling shall be allowed without the express approval of the
Engineer and permission therefor endorsed upon the permit. The backfilling
of a tunnel excavation shall be made only in the presence of the Township
Engineer and shall be done only in a method approved by him.
F.
The work of restoration to be carried out by the permittee, including
both paving surface and paving base, shall be performed as follows:
(1)
Every person who opens or excavates any street in the Township shall
thoroughly and completely refill the opening or excavation, the surface
shall be restored to the same condition as it was before the opening,
and such restoration shall be in accordance with the requirements
of the Township and specifications of the Department of Transportation
of the State of New Jersey, which specifications are hereby adopted
as specifications of the Township for restoration of surfaces of public
streets in the Township. As restored, the surface shall conform to
the part of the street immediately adjoining the opening. If, within
two years after the restoration of the surface as herein provided,
defects shall appear therein, resulting from defective workmanship
by the permittee, he shall reimburse the Township for the cost of
all necessary repairs to the permanent paving plus 15%.
(2)
Backfilling in any street opened or excavated pursuant to an excavation
permit issued hereunder shall be compacted to a degree equivalent
to that of the undisturbed ground in which the trench was dug. Compaction
shall be done by mechanical tampers or by rolling in layers. Backfill
material to be used shall only be densely graded aggregate (DOA) conforming
to New Jersey Department of Transportation specifications. The use
of excavated material or any other material to backfill the trench
is allowed only when specifically permitted by the Township Engineer,
in writing.
(3)
Backfilling up to the first 18 inches above the top of the utility
pipes or similar installations shall be done with thin layers. Each
layer is to be tamped by manual or mechanical means. Layers that are
hand-tamped shall not exceed six inches in thickness. Layers that
are power-tamped shall not exceed six inches in thickness. The same
requirements shall apply to the remainder of the backfilling if tamping
is the method used for backfilling. Backfilling of all pipes of over
24 inches in diameter shall be carried up to the spring line of the
pipe in three-inch layers, with each layer moistened and thoroughly
tamped with suitable mechanical equipment. The backfill around all
pipes 24 inches or less in diameter shall be tamped as specified above
to a depth of 18 inches above the tops of the pipe before any additional
backfilling is placed thereon.
(4)
Whenever any excavation for the laying of pipe is made through rock,
the pipe shall be laid six inches above the rock bottom of the trench,
and the space under, around and six inches above the pipe shall be
backfilled with clean river sand, noncorrosive soil or 1/4 inch minus
gravel. Broken pavement, large stones and debris shall not be used
in the backfill.
(5)
Backfilling shall be completed by placing the backfill material well
up over the top of the trench. For dry backfilling, the material shall
be compacted with a roller of an approved type until the surface is
unyielding. The surface shall then be graded as required.
(6)
On improved streets, a temporary paving of bituminous concrete, Mix
1-2, six inches thick, placed in two layers, each thoroughly bound
and compacted, shall be installed flush with the surface of the adjoining
pavement.
(7)
Permanent restoration of pavement shall be completed within seven
days and shall be in accordance with the Township of Livingston's
Pavement Restoration Detail on file in the office of the Township
Engineer. Except for restoration of streets and roadways that have
been resurfaced or reconstructed within five years prior to the date
of the excavation, the restoration of the trench shall be in accordance
with the Special Trench Restoration Standard Detail issued by the
Township of Livingston Engineering Department and on file in the office
of the Township Engineer. This requirement shall apply to all permittees,
including, but not limited to, public utilities, contractors, property
owners and tenants.
G.
In the event that any work performed by or for a permittee shall
be, in the opinion of the Engineer, unsatisfactory and the same shall
not be corrected in accordance with his instructions within the time
fixed by him or in the event that the work for which the permit was
granted is not completed within the time fixed by the Engineer, the
Township may proceed to correct such unsatisfactory work or complete
any such work not completed and charge the cost thereof, plus 15%,
to the permittee or his surety.
H.
Where trenches are parallel to the street or where a number of cross
trenches are laid in close proximity to one another by the permittee
or where the equipment used may damage adjacent paved surfaces, it
shall be the prerogative of the Engineer to require a negotiated contribution
from the permittee for the resurfacing in place of patching of such
streets if the total area of the proposed patch or probable damaged
area exceeds 15% of the total pavement surfacing between curb faces
or between concrete or stone gutter edges in any block. Such negotiations
shall be carried on and contributions agreed upon prior to issuance
of a permit.
I.
After such excavation or opening is commenced, the work of making
and backfilling the same shall be prosecuted with due diligence and
so as not to obstruct the street more than is actually necessary.
If the work is not so prosecuted or if the work does not, in the judgment
of the Engineer, comply with the terms of this article, he shall so
notify the person named in the permit and shall require such person,
within three days after the service of such notice, to proceed with
the diligent prosecution of such work or property to complete the
same, as the case may be. If such notice is not complied with, the
Township shall do such work as may be necessary to backfill such excavations
and to restore the street or part thereof excavated to the same condition
as before such excavation was made. All expenses incurred by the Township
shall be recovered from the permittee's deposit or surety, plus 15%.
No further permit shall be granted any person unless and until any
opening or excavation already made by him has met all requirements
of this article. The Engineer shall be the sole judge of proper performance,
and his opinion shall be final.
J.
The Engineer or his authorized agents shall make daily inspections
of all work authorized by permits issued pursuant to this article.
The Engineer is empowered to employ an inspector if the Engineer is
of the opinion that the work to be performed pursuant to a permit
authorized by this article is such that an inspector is necessary
to ensure compliance with the various provisions of this article.
K.
Upon completion of all work accomplished under the provisions of
the permit, the permittee shall notify the Engineer, in writing, on
a form prescribed by him. A certificate of final inspection shall
be issued by the Engineer to the permittee no sooner than two years
after the permanent restoration of the opening or excavation has been
made, provided that the work authorized by the permit has been performed
according to Township specifications. Prior to the issuance of a certificate,
the Engineer shall make a final inspection of the restoration to determine
whether Township specifications have been adhered to.
L.
If any settlement in a restored area occurs within a period of two
years from date of completion of the permanent restoration, it shall
in general be as conclusive evidence of defective backfilling. Any
expense which may be incurred by the Township in correcting such settlement
shall be paid by the permittee or recovered from his bond, plus 15%.
M.
Unless part of the work is being performed by the Township, no opening
or excavation made by a permittee shall be considered in the charge
or care of the Township or of any officer or person employed by the
Township, and no officer or employee is authorized in any way to take
or assume any jurisdiction over any such opening or excavation, except
in the exercise of police power, where and when it is necessary to
protect life and property.
N.
If, in his judgment, traffic conditions, the safety or convenience
of the traveling public or the public interest requires that the excavation
work be performed as emergency work, the Engineer shall have full
power to order, at the time the permit is granted, that a crew of
men and adequate facilities be employed by the permittee 24 hours
a day to the end that such excavation work may be completed as soon
as possible.
A.
Whenever any public utility or municipal authority maintaining underground
facilities shall contemplate more than one street opening or excavation
per calendar year, it may post a surety bond for the calendar year
or part thereof to cover the estimated fees and cost of any and all
work. Said bond must be written by a reputable surety company licensed
to do business in the State of New Jersey, and the bond shall be conditioned
upon the payment of all charges estimated to be required by this article
during the term of the bond. Such bond must be approved by the Township
Attorney as to form.
B.
Deposit schedule. The Engineer is authorized to establish a schedule
of charges for inspections, labor, materials and such other expenses
and requirements of this article. The schedule shall be open to public
inspection in the office of the Engineer upon demand.
The decision of the Engineer as to the cost of any work done
or repairs made by him or under his direction, pursuant to the provisions
of this article, shall be final and conclusive.
A.
A certificate of insurance shall be required of the applicant prior
to the commencement of work as permitted by this article. Said certificate
shall indicate that the applicant is insured against claims for damages
for personal injury as well as against claims for property damage
which may arise out of or from the performance of the work, whether
such performance is done by himself, his subcontractor or anyone directly
or indirectly employed by him. Such insurance shall include protection
against liability arising from completed operations. Such insurance
shall provide complete third-party coverage for the Township of Livingston
and shall at all times be in an amount not less than $1,000,000 for
each person, bodily injury; and $1,000,000 for each accident, bodily
injury; and for property damages, in an amount not less than $1,000,000.
Failure of the applicant to file such certificate shall be grounds
for denying a permit; provided, however, that Township departments,
franchised public utilities and other governmental agencies may be
relieved of the obligation of submitting such a certificate if they
do the work contemplated under the permit with their own personnel
or with a contractor insured as required. However, such waiver shall
not release any such organization from any and all liability under
any of the obligations provided herein.
B.
Each applicant, upon the receipt of a permit, shall provide the Township
with a surety bond to guarantee the faithful performance of the work
authorized by said permit and the proper maintenance of said excavation
for a period of not less than two years after the closure and completion
of said work. The amount of the bond shall be determined by the Engineer.
However, in no event shall the bond furnished be in an amount less
than $1,000. If the applicant contemplates requesting more than one
permit per year as said permits may be required by this article, the
Engineer may request the applicant to furnish a single bond as required
herein in such amount as the Engineer may deem necessary. Said bond
must be written by a reputable surety company licensed to do business
in the State of New Jersey and must be in a form as approved by the
Township Attorney of the Township of Livingston. The bond shall be
noncancelable.
A.
Whenever the Engineer shall find that a default has occurred in the
performance of any term or condition of any permit, written notice
thereof shall be given first to the principal and if default has not
been corrected to the surety of the bond. Such notice shall state
the work to be done, the estimated cost thereof and the period of
time deemed by the Engineer to be reasonably necessary for the completion
of the work.
B.
After receipt of such notice, the surety must, within the time therein
specified, either cause the required work to be performed or, failing
therein, pay over to the Engineer the estimated cost of doing the
work as set forth in the notice. Upon the receipt of such moneys,
the Engineer shall proceed by such mode as he deems convenient to
cause the required work to be performed and completed, but no liability
shall be incurred therein other than for the expenditure of said sum
in hand.
C.
In the event of any default in the performance of any term or condition
of the permit for the work, the surety or any person employed or engaged
on his behalf shall have the right to go upon the premises to complete
the required work or make it safe.
D.
No person shall interfere with or obstruct the ingress or egress
to or from any such premises by any authorized representative or agent
of any surety or of the Township engaged in completing the work required
to be performed under the permit or in complying with the terms or
conditions thereof.
If, in the opinion of the Engineer, the work to be undertaken
by the permittee is such that it will affect the use of properties
abutting or adjoining the project, he shall require the permittee
to notify the owners or tenants of such properties and to provide
to the Engineer a certification that said permittee has notified the
abutting and adjoining property owners and/or tenants, together with
a list of those persons notified.
The permittee shall notify, in writing, the Township Police
and Fire Departments of his intention to excavate a street within
the Township. Such notification shall state the nature of the work
to be done and the location of such project. He shall also notify
the Police and Fire Public Safety Departments when any openings or
excavations have been closed, permitting traffic to flow thereon.
The permittee shall, in all cases, be responsible for and required
to have traffic directors to maintain traffic with regard to safety
and flow.
The Township Engineer shall be responsible for enforcing all
provisions of this article.
This article shall not be construed as imposing upon the Township
or any official or employee any liability or responsibility for damages
to any person injured by the performance of any excavation work for
which an excavation permit is issued hereunder, nor shall the Township
or any official or employee thereof be deemed to have assumed any
such liability or responsibility by reason of inspection authorized
hereunder, the issuance of any permit or the approval of any excavation.
When the Township shall improve or pave any street, the Engineer
shall give notice to all persons owning property abutting on the street
about to be paved or improved and to all public utility companies
operating in the Township; and all such persons and utility companies
shall do all work which would necessitate excavation of the street
within 30 days from the giving of such notice. The time may be extended
if permission has been requested, in writing, and has been approved
by the Engineer.
Street opening permits shall not be required for any contracts
proposed by the Township which require the opening of Township streets.
Contract proposals requiring the opening of county or state roads
will still require the obtaining of permits from those agencies as
may currently be in force. All guaranties are provided for within
plans and/or specifications so provided by the Township.

In case any person shall violate any provisions of this article,
any permit issued by the Township to such person under this article
shall be revoked, and such person, upon conviction before the courts,
shall be sentenced to pay a fine of not more than $2,000 per each
day of violation, and costs of court.
