Where cuts are made by a public utility company operating under a franchise or indeterminate
permit issued by the city or where the utility is operated by a governmental agency,
the director of the department of public works may issue a blanket permit to any such
utility. Such blanket permit shall be issued for a period of no more than one year
and may be renewed on an annual basis. Such utility shall provide a one-time, nonrefundable
blanket permit application fee of $10,000.00. Such utility shall also be required
to provide an annual deposit of $50,000.00; but any remaining deposit balance shall
offset the following year's required deposit. The recipient of a blanket permit shall
be liable for the cost of any work required to restore the cut area to the same or
better condition. Failure of the utility to pay the bill within 30 days of presentation
or failure to otherwise conform to the requirements of this division shall constitute
cause for forfeiture of their deposit or revocation of privileges extended under blanket
permit. The grantee must notify the director of the department of public works as
directed, as to the location and extent of each cut made under this blanket permit
so that proper supervision can be exercised.
