B. 
Performance and maintenance guaranty. Prior to the issuance of a permit, the applicant shall deposit a performance guaranty with associated maintenance guaranty as follows:
(1) 
Amount. The amount of the guarantee required will be determined by the Township Engineer and/or Township Superintendent of Public Works and will be set forth on the latest permit application form at the time of the application submission. The amount shall be computed on the basis of costs required to make proper restorations or repairs, as per the Township Engineer's bond estimate. An annual blanket bond in the amount of $10,000 may be posted to avoid the inconvenience and expense of obtaining individual bonds for each permit requested.
(2) 
Form. The form of the guaranty shall be subject to the review and approval of the Township Attorney and shall be issued by an institution authorized to transact business in the State of New Jersey.
(3) 
Maintenance. The performance guaranty shall encompass the provision of a maintenance guaranty once the permanent restoration has been completed and accepted by the Township. Upon completion of final and permanent restoration and acceptance by the Township, the performance guaranty will be returned subject to the submission of a maintenance guaranty in the amount of 50% of the performance guaranty. The maintenance guaranty shall remain in effect for a five-year period for a five-foot deep or more trench, and a two-year period of time for all others. The guaranty shall be released to the permit holder upon satisfactory completion of all restoration and repairs during the two- or five-year maintenance. The two- or five-year maintenance period shall commence after final inspection of the work performed under the permit and the acceptance of the work by the Township.
(4) 
Utilities. For all utilities under the jurisdiction of the Board of Public Utilities, a blanket corporate bond acceptable to the Township Attorney in the amount of $25,000 may be deposited with the Township in full force and effect in lieu of a separate bond or escrow for each required permit as surety for the performance and maintenance period. The maintenance period shall be for a period of two or five years as required in Subsection B(3) herein, and shall commence after the final inspection of the work performed under the permit and the acceptance of the work by the Township.
C. 
Inspection fees. Prior to the issuance of a permit, the applicant shall make a deposit for inspection fees in an amount to be determined by the Township Engineer and/or Township Superintendent of Public Works. The amount shall be calculated at 5% of the total site improvement cost, including excavation and restoration or based on the number of hours spent by the Township Engineer and/or Township Superintendent of Public Works to inspect the work covered under the permit, computed at his/her hourly rate, whichever is greater.
