Match registration and the actual excavation route

The current Engineering webpage requires approved $10,000 bond and separate liability insurance for registered Excavator or Sewer & Drain Layer contractors. It requires a registered contractor for concrete excavation but allows a homeowner for certain non-concrete uses. The linked policy lists contractor registration before permit issuance; have Engineering resolve the actual applicant/security requirement rather than buying in the wrong name.

The linked policy normally requires separate excavation permits, allows multiple excavations within one block under one permit, and requires one per block for multi-block work. Boring/directional drilling can instead use one permit per street name across blocks; overhead-only construction may span blocks/streets under one application. A contractor bond does not eliminate those permit boundaries.

Get the signed permit and complete the City's closeout

Purchase Now opens Propeller; the option displays no fixed amount or term. Match Engineering's actual form, principal/City recipient, sum, operation and dates with the issuer, arrange execution/accepted filing and submit the actual online plans/application. The policy says permission is not approved until a fully signed copy is sent to the applicant.

The policy describes 90-day permits with longer construction disclosed in the application, restoration to original or better condition and a completed-site photograph emailed to Engineering for closeout inspection. Schedule required excavation inspections before backfilling; do not assume filling the opening, permit expiry or paying the provider closes the obligation.

Street closures have a separate permit, three-business-day City notice and reviewed traffic/detour plan; certain extended closures require Council approval. Listed state-highway corridors also need Iowa DOT coordination. Confirm the actual road authority and keep accepted completion/continuation or release direction.
