File accepted security before the specified excavation permit

Posted §§13-201–203 require Clerk application before non-exempt excavation in public streets, alleys, parks, other public property or public easements through private property. Each permit covers one specified excavation. The $5,000 bond must be City-Attorney-approved and filed with the Clerk before permit issuance.

The bond exception covers a utility operating under a franchise or a contractor under contract with the City for municipal improvement. It is not a universal exemption for private utility contractors or a waiver of the excavation permit. Confirm the applicant, accepted form/City recipient and actual operation before ordering.

Keep renewal, post-excavation security and resurfacing distinct

Section 13-202 says a bond cannot run longer than two years without renewal and must remain in force for each excavation two years after it is made or completed. The renewal ceiling is not automatic release two years from purchase or permission to leave later excavations uncovered.

Purchase Now opens Propeller; the option displays no fixed amount or term. Match the actual accepted City form/parties, sum, covered excavations and dates with the issuer, arrange authorized execution/approved filing and obtain the separate Clerk-issued permission.

Posted §13-206 normally has the City restore pavement/surfacing at the responsible party's expense, but allows authorized utility/contractor resurfacing with Street Superintendent approval. Arrange who actually restores the surface, barricades/lighting, inspections and continuation/release; do not assume your crew may patch it or that completion alone closes security.
