Sec. 98-155. - Completion of work. (a) A permit issued under the terms of this article shall expire and be of no further force or effect if work authorized by such permit shall not be commenced within 60 days from the date of issuance, and further, that such authorized work be completed and restored within 14 days of the start of such work or as approved by the director of public works or his or her designee for additional time. Exceptions to those provisions may be granted by the director of public works or his or her designee when unusual circumstances are demonstrated. Failure to comply with any conditions relating to issuance of a permit shall be cause for revocation of such permit and shall constitute a violation of this article. The city reserves the right to make emergency repairs if deemed required for public safety. The cost of those repairs shall be borne by the permit holder and will be taken from the performance bond if not paid. (b) All work performed under a permit issued hereunder shall be in conformance with all applicable and current codes, regulations, and laws and the permittee is responsible for all work performed pursuant to the permit, regardless of who performs the work. A permittee shall not obstruct a street, alley, curb, gutter, sidewalk, or right-of-way so that the natural free and clear passage of water through the gutters or other waterways shall be interfered with. (c) On projects where directional boring or other trenchless technology will be utilized, the applicant, at their own expense, must submit to the office of the city engineer record of a video inspection of any sanitary sewer lines, manholes, storm sewer lines and catch basins in the vicinity of the work prior to permit approval.
