[Amended 12-19-1983 by
HB No. 15-83]
It shall be unlawful for any person to open, grade, construct,
improve, alter or repair any roadbed, curb, gutter, sidewalk, culvert,
drain or other structure lying within the dedicated lines of any public
street or alley in the City without having first obtained a permit
to do so from the Director of the Department of Public Works, unless
the work is being performed by or for the City.
Any person desiring a permit as required in § 105-33 shall file an application therefor with the Department of Public Works, setting forth such information as may be required, and such application shall be accompanied by specifications and three sets of detailed plans.
No permit shall be issued pursuant to an application filed as provided in § 105-34 until the Director of the Department of Public Works shall be satisfied that work done under the permit will be properly done, will be of a satisfactory character and of reasonably high quality and durability and will conform to minimum specifications for like work performed by the City.
Each permit issued pursuant to an application filed as provided in § 105-34 shall be upon the condition that the City Engineer shall supervise and inspect the construction or other work to be performed to the extent deemed necessary by the Director of the Department of Public Works. For such supervision and inspection, the Director of the Department of Public Works shall charge the permittee a sum, to be negotiated, of the total cost of the work in question as estimated by the City Engineer, provided that, if such work is planned and actively supervised by a registered engineer, requiring only inspection by the City Engineer, the charge will be a sum, to be negotiated, of such estimated total costs. In no case, however, shall the charge for supervision and inspection be less than $5.
