Include construction access, not just a street opening

Carmel's current guidance covers construction, excavation, aerial utilities, vehicle/pedestrian traffic restrictions and construction entrances in dedicated ROW and easements. It also applies to private-property construction using equipment of skid-steer size or larger accessed from a public street or alley, including an existing driveway.

Describe the equipment access, work limits and affected public space. Closures, pavement/curb cuts, aerial installations and certain encroachments may need Board of Public Works and Safety approval before the ROW permit. Have Engineering identify the actual approval path rather than treating the bond as that approval.

Match the security and complete the separate City process

The current City page sets a $5,000 minimum, permits larger project-based requirements and says coverage must last for the permitted project. Blanket coverage can serve frequent applicants' multiple permits; that does not establish a fixed annual provider term or automatically include every future activity.

Purchase Now opens Propeller; the option displays no fixed amount or term. Provide Engineering's actual accepted form, legal principal/City payee, required sum, project dates and single-project or blanket scope. File valid security with Engineering using its actual instructions.

Submit the separate City permit electronically through its online portal; the City requires an account with a valid email address. Obtain any preceding approvals and the actual ROW permit before relying on work permission. Coordinate completion, acceptance and any necessary continuation/release under the accepted documents.
