in effect

Sec. 320.04. - Application and requirements. (a) Examination. After an application has been received by the inspector, the applicant or other person as provided in section 320.02 shall, at such time and place as the director of the department of public works may designate, be required to submit to such examination as to his qualifications to work at or engage in the business of bituminous contractor as the public works director may deem advisable. The public works director, or any employee of that department assigned for that purpose, shall examine the applicant as to the practical knowledge of the work incidental to the construction and repair of curb, driveway aprons or boulevard areas and, if satisfied as to the competency of such applicant, he shall recommend that a license be issued. Such examination may be waived by said director in the case of renewals of the license. No license shall be issued by the inspector without such recommendation by the public works director. (b) Bond. Before any license is granted hereunder, the applicant shall post a bond in the sum of five thousand dollars ($5,000.00), to be so conditioned, in addition to other requirements of these chapters, that such work as the bituminous contractor is to be permitted to perform shall be in accordance with the ordinances governing the class of work and in accordance with the specifications, rules, regulations and conditions prescribed by the director of the department of public works, and further conditioned to protect and save harmless the City of Saint Paul and the interested property owner from any and all liability, damage or expense which said city or said property owner may sustain by reason of the granting of such license or by reason of the violation of any ordinance, statute or law by such licensee or any negligence by him. Should the surety on such bond become unacceptable to the director, or should said bond in any manner be cancelled or terminated, it shall be the duty of the licensee to immediately furnish a new bond in manner and condition as above provided; and such licensee shall perform no further work until such bond is furnished and fully approved. Such bond shall comply with all other provisions of these chapters. (c) Specifications; insurance. Whenever a license is issued hereunder, the provisions of Section 1.44, subsections A, C, D, E, F, K, L, M, N, O and P of the City of Saint Paul Department of Public Works Specifications for Street and Sewer Construction, as amended, shall apply. The licensee shall file with the director of the department of public works a certificate of insurance in form approved by the city attorney prior to issuance of the license.
