5601.2.4 Financial responsibility.
Before a permit is issued, as required by Section 5601.2, the applicant shall file with the jurisdiction a corporate surety bond in the principal sum of $1,000,000 or a public liability insurance policy for the same amount, for the purpose of the payment of all damages to persons or property which arise from, or are caused by, the conduct of any act authorized by the permit upon which any judicial judgment results. The AHJ is authorized to specify a greater or lesser amount when, in his or her opinion, conditions at the location of use indicate a greater or lesser amount is required. Government entities shall be exempt from this bond requirement. The City shall be named as an additional insured on the insurance policy or an additional obligee under the corporate surety bond, at no cost to the City. A bond required by this section must be executed by a corporate surety and approved by the AHJ. If applicable, an insurance policy shall be written by an accredited insurance company under the supervision of the Board of Insurance of the state. Evidence of compliance with this requirement shall be considered as having been met when the policy, a copy thereof, or a certificate of insurance has been filed with and approved by the AHJ. Such policy shall include an endorsement that the AHJ shall be notified at least thirty (30) days in advance in the event the policy or policies are canceled.
