Windsor Municipal Code Art. 2 Work Performed Under Permit

The Town Road Commissioner shall not directly supervise any work done under permit issued under the provisions of this article. Control of work done under this article shall be limited to engineering review of plans required for issuance of the permit and inspection of work to insure compliance with permit requirements.

Permittees may excavate openings in Town highways to make repairs in cases of emergency requiring immediate action. In such cases the appropriate representative of the Town Road Commissioner's office shall be promptly notified of any such action and such permittee, at his/her own expense, shall immediately replace such Town highway in as good condition as before such excavation.

Before granting a permit under the provisions of this article, the Town Road Commissioner may require the applicant to file with him/her a satisfactory bond, or a cash deposit equal to the amount of the bond, payable to the Town in such an amount as he/she deems sufficient to insure proper compliance by the permittee with the provisions of this article.

Public utilities corporations shall annually file with the Town Road Commissioner a faithful performance bond covering all permits required under this article by the public utilities corporations for each year in such amounts as the Town Road Commissioner deems sufficient, conditioned upon the proper compliance by the corporations with the provisions of this article.

In addition to the bonding requirements of this article, and before granting a permit under the provisions of this article, the Town Road Commissioner shall require each applicant to file with the Town Road Commissioner a certificate showing the maintenance of insurance to cover the liability of the permittee for property damage and injuries to persons in connection with the work sought to be done under the permit.

The minimum limits of such insurance shall be fixed by the Road Commissioner in such amounts as he/she deems sufficient, and in fixing the limits the Road Commissioner shall use as his/her basis, the costs and hazards involved in the work sought to be performed under the permit.

Except as otherwise provided in this section, a bond shall not be required of any city, public corporation or political subdivision which is authorized by law to establish or maintain any works or facilities, in, under or over any public highway, nor shall the application of any such governmental unit for a permit be denied. Every such applicant is enTitled as a matter of right to a permit, but is otherwise subject to the provisions of this article and to all reasonable conditions and provisions made by the Town Road Commissioner in any such permit.

The Road Commissioner may require of any such applicant a bond in a sum not to exceed twenty thousand ($20,000.00) dollars if such applicant has in fact prior to such application failed to comply with the provisions of this article or with the provisions of a previous permit.

Any municipal utility district, municipal water district or metropolitan water district is entitled to a blanket permit renewable annually for the installation of its service connection and for ordinary maintenance of its facilities located or installed in Town highways; but the Road Commissioner may revoke any such blanket permit if the permittee fails to comply with the provisions of this article. When any such permit is revoked in a proper case such municipal utility district, municipal water district or metropolitan water district is entitled to a permit only on furnishing a bond as provided in Section 10-2-210.
