A. A permit for each connection shall be obtained from the department of public works. At the time of the issuance of such permit, the permittee shall agree in writing to indemnify and hold harmless the City, its officers and employees from any and all claims or demands of whatsoever nature which arise or may arise from the sanitary sewer or storm drain construction covered by such permit.

B. Sanitary sewer construction fees shall be as set forth in the public works master fee schedule, as adopted by resolution of the City Council.

C. For any work performed, wholly or in part, without first having secured the permit required by the provisions of this section, the person, firm or corporation having performed such work shall pay a permit fee which shall be five times the permit fee provided by this section, and five times the inspection charge for any month, or any fraction thereof, that the work has been in progress without a permit.

D. All work shall be done in strict compliance with standard detailed plans and specifications of the City and to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works, and shall be inspected by a City inspector prior to backfilling the excavation.

E. When a sanitary sewer or storm drain is to be installed in the public right-of-way or other public easement, an amount as set forth in the public works master fee schedule, as adopted by resolution of the City Council, for each permit shall be deposited with the Public Works Department as a guaranty that all sanitary sewer or storm drain work, including backfill, street paving and cleanup, will be done in a proper and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all City requirements and to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works. In lieu of such deposit for each permit, a surety company faithful performance bond in the amount set forth in the public works master fee schedule, as adopted by resolution of the City Council, may be filed with the Public Works Department. Such bond shall be conditioned that all sanitary sewer or storm drain work, including backfill, street paving and cleanup shall be done in a proper and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all City requirements and to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works. Any such bond may be conditioned as a continuing bond and not be limited to any particular location in the City. The form of such bond shall be approved by the City Attorney. In the event that such work is not done in a proper and workmanlike manner, or not done in accordance with the requirements of this section or any other ordinance or requirement of the City, or not done to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works, the City may perform or cause to have performed the necessary corrective or cleanup work and deduct the cost thereof to be paid by said surety company on its bond.

F. For a period of two years after completion of the sanitary sewer or storm drain construction (final paving of the sanitary sewer or storm drain trench), the permittee shall be responsible for the maintenance of the sanitary sewer or storm drain construction and trench paving.
