Identify the operation and required contractor

The linked 2025 form asks for actual site/dates and methods including open trench, subgrade excavation, directional boring, utility work and pavement repair. It generally requires licensed, bonded and insured contractors except sidewalk/tree-related work a homeowner may do. Record the actual operation and contractor role rather than treating a utility label as a waiver of permission or security.

The City's older linked ROW Q&A lists $5,000 for excavation and driveways, but the 2025 application does not state a bond sum/term. Ask Public Works for the current accepted form, actual amount, principal/recipient and coverage before selecting that figure or applying an older insurance table to every activity.

Submit the completed PDF and obtain issued permission

The current Applications & Permits page directs applicants to complete the fillable PDF and upload it through the City's submission form with contact information; it also allows mail/in-person submittal. Staff review and actual issued permit documents are separate from completing the upload.

Purchase Now opens Propeller; the option displays no fixed amount or term. Have the City and issuer match the actual security request, arrange execution/accepted filing and required insurance, and obtain the approved work permission rather than relying on a provider receipt.

The 2025 form requires 48-hour coordination for street/lane closures with Public Works, County 911 and school transportation, and separate 48-hour notice to City/affected owners where property access is denied. Arrange locates, 24/7 emergency contact and required pavement/sidewalk/sewer inspection, then obtain acceptance and actual continuation/release instructions.
