The application and accompanying documentation shall be submitted to the permit official and shall include the following:
1. The name, address, telephone numbers and e-mail address of the applicant and the person or people in charge of the work related to the permit, and
2. Location where the work will be performed including the street address of the property or adjacent property and the parcel identification number of the Central Appraisal District given to such property, and

7. The one call system verification number (DIG TESS) for the work related to the permit, and
8. The name of the barricade company responsible for traffic set up, if applicable.
B. An applicant requesting a permit under this chapter shall be responsible for contacting a "one call" notification system servicing the area and will be required to furnish a verification number confirming that such a "one call" has been made as part of the application for permit. A permit issued under this chapter shall be denied for the failure of the applicant to contact a "one call" notification system servicing the area, and to provide a verification number confirming that such a "one call" notification system has been contacted by the applicant. This requirement, however, shall create no duty, express or implied, on the part of the city to verify that the applicant notified the one call system and received a verification number.
C. Public utility companies having permanent installations in or under streets, alleys or any other city right-of-way or city owned property by franchise or by special privilege license from the city shall obtain permits as required in this chapter.
D. Term. Permits shall be for a fixed term not to exceed thirty consecutive calendar days. The permit shall clearly identify the expiration date of the permit. If a permittee does not complete the work by the permit expiration date, the permittee must apply for and may be granted a permit extension for an additional thirty consecutive calendar days. An application for the extension of the term of the permit must be submitted to the permit official prior to the expiration date.
E. Traffic control permits are required pursuant to Chapter 18.30 and are in addition to the permit required in this chapter. Applicants for a permit under this chapter must also apply for a traffic control permit from the traffic engineer when such permit is required pursuant to Chapter 18.30. Failure to obtain a traffic control permit for the work that is subject of a permit issued under this chapter shall result in the revocation of a permit issued pursuant to this chapter.
F. Permittees shall request appointments for inspections by city inspectors for backfill, two sack, asphalt or concrete placement by calling the permit official. Requests shall be made on or before the city work day prior to the day the permittee wishes the inspection to take place. Appointments shall be made subject to the availability of the city inspectors. Inspections not performed during normal city work hours shall be subject to the after hours inspection fee in Section 13.08.040.
