restoration, and comply with all other applicable requirements of this chapter.

PRIOR RIGHTS MAY BE REQUESTED.
(Prior Code, § 18-2-1)
§ 151.006 DETERMINATION OF APPROPRIATE PERMIT, NEED FOR A LICENSE,
AND APPROPRIATE ENCROACHMENT FEES.
(A) Upon review of the application and other required documents, unless otherwise
determined by City Council action, the Department shall determine which class TYPE
of encroachment permit is appropriate, whether the use sought to be made of the city’s
highways requires a license or use agreement, which of the fees adopted by Council
resolution apply to this permit, whether other fees, charges, or taxes apply to the use,
and which approval process must be followed for that application. Additional licenses or
fees may be required pursuant to other provisions of this code or other state or federal
laws.
(B) If a person files applications for more than one type of encroachment permit or
one or more licenses together with an application for an encroachment permit, the
Department may combine the applications and issue one encroachment permit
authorizing encroachments to be used for more than one license or franchise. In no
event, however, may required licenses be combined, and applicants shall be required to

the city finds that the application is in accordance with the requirements of this chapter,
it may issue a permit for the use of encroachment, attaching such conditions as are
necessary for the health, safety, and welfare of the public, including but not limited to
aesthetic considerations. If the city finds the application is in conflict with the provisions
of this chapter or any state or federal law, the permit shall be denied and the applicant
given written reasons for the denial. No permit is valid unless signed by an
authorized representative of the city.
(Prior Code, § 18-2-4)
§ 151.008 TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ALL ENCROACHMENT PERMITS.
(A) Indemnification. No encroachment permit shall be issued until the permittee has
executed and filed with the city an indemnity agreement satisfactory to the City
Attorney. However, in the event that an encroachment permit is issued and the
permittee has not executed and filed the indemnity agreement, the commencement of
work thereunder shall be the permittee’s agreement to indemnify the city as further set
forth herein. The permittee shall be responsible for and indemnify the city from all
claims, demands, expenses, or liability including but not limited to personal injury and
property damage arising out of or related to work performed by the permittee under the
permit, arising out of the failure on the permittee’s part to perform work under the
permit, and arising from or caused by the structures or encroachments placed in, on, or
under the city’s right-of-way. If any claim of such liability is made against the city, its
officers, or employees, the permittee shall defend, indemnify, and hold the city harmless
from the claim, including claims alleging the negligence of the city, its officers, and
employees.
(B) Insurance.
(1) No applicant shall be entitled to an encroachment permit unless he or she shall
have filed and maintained on file with the city a certificate certifying that he or she
and/or his or her company or business firm carried public liability and property damage
insurance issued by an insurance carrier authorized to do business in the state, insuring
the applicant and the city and its agents, against loss by reason of injuries to or death of
persons, or damages to property arising out of or related to work performed by the
applicant, its agents, or employees while performing any work under the permit. The
insurance shall be primary and provide coverage for all liability assumed by the
applicant under division (A) of this section, and shall be provided by the permittee in the
following minimum amounts:
(a) One million dollars for death of, or injury to, any one person in any one
accident;
(b) One million dollars for death of, or injuries to, more than one person in any
one accident; and
(c) One million dollars for damages to property. The city may require higher
insurance coverage when appropriate.
(2) Failure by the applicant to provide the city with such a certificate, FAILURE BY
THE APPLICANT TO RENEW AN EXPIRED CERTIFICATE and/OR failure by the city
to demand the filing by the permittee of such a certificate before such a permit is issued,
shall not be deemed to waive the permittee’s obligation to provide the insurance. The
insurance certificate shall remain in effect and be kept on file with the city until all work
to be performed by the permittee under the permit has been completed. When an
encroachment involves a permanent obstruction, the insurance certificate requirements
shall remain in effect until the construction is removed. The insurance certificate shall
provide that coverage cannot be canceled or expire without providing ten days’ written
notice of the action to the city.
(C) Performance bonds or other financial security. The Department may require as a
condition of issuing any encroachment permit, the applicant to post performance bonds
or other approved financial security to ensure satisfactory completion of any work to be
performed in, on, or under any public place, highway, or right-of-way and to ensure
adequate maintenance of encroachments.
(D) Commencement of work. The permittee shall begin the work or use authorized
by a permit issued pursuant to this chapter within 180 days from date of issuance,
unless a different period is stated in the permit. If the work or use is not so begun, then
the permit shall become void. The permittee shall complete the work or use authorized
by the permit within the time specified in the permit. Where an encroachment involves a
permanent installation or obstruction, conditions so specified in the permit, license, or
other agreement with the city shall remain in effect until the construction or obstruction
is removed.
(E) Term. All permits shall specify the time, TYPICALLY NINE MONTHS BUT not
longer than one year, within which work or construction in the highway must be
completed. Permits for continued use of the highway shall be issued for a specified
period of time. All permits may be renewed or extended upon such terms as are
consistent with the provisions of this chapter.
(F) Relocation. Any encroachment including but NOT limited to pipes, conduit, wire,
cable, appurtenances, or other structures or facilities installed or maintained in, on, or
under any public place, right-of-way, or highway, shall be relocated, at the sole expense
of the permittee, as may be necessary to facilitate a public purpose or any city project.
The pavement restoration fee shall be waived by the Public Works Director for any
relocation required by the city and is not an improvement for the owner of the facility.
The relocations shall be under the same terms and conditions as the initial installation
allowed pursuant to permit. The Department will not exercise the right to require the
relocation in an unreasonable or arbitrary manner.
(G) Assignment. Encroachment permits shall be applied for by and issued to the
person or company who will make use of the permit and not to the contractor who has
been employed to construct the improvements, provided, however, all contractors and
subcontractors who will be performing work in the highway shall be named and
identified in the encroachment permit application. The rights granted by the permit shall
not be assignable without the express prior written consent of the Department.
(H) Supplemental. The Department may require additional conditions for the
issuance of a permit as are applicable and necessary to meet specific situations, for
public safety, and to ensure compliance with this chapter and all other city, state, or
federal regulations.
(I) Acceptance. Acceptance of any permit granted under the provisions of this
chapter shall not become effective until written acceptance thereof shall have been filed
by the permittee with the Department. By accepting this permit, the permittee covenants
and agrees to perform and be bound by each and all of the terms and conditions
imposed by the city, and the permit.
(J) Conflict. In the event there is a conflict between the provisions of this chapter and
the provisions contained in a franchise or license granted by the city to an applicant, the
provisions of the franchise or license shall prevail.
(Prior Code, § 18-2-6)
§ 151.009 TERMS OF CONSTRUCTION.
(A) All work done or uses made under the permits shall be to the satisfaction of the
city and shall be in accordance with the terms and conditions of the encroachment
permit and all adopted regulations, standards, and specifications of the city including the
regulations and specifications for pavement restoration. Installation of all facilities shall
meet the standard specifications, details, and requirements of the Department. The
Department may require a permittee to retain an approved utility line identification or
locator service such as Arizona Blue Stake.
(B) The permittee shall, to the satisfaction of the city, repair all water and sanitary
service lines, streets, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, or other property, structures,
improvements, or facilities damaged by construction or operation pursuant to the permit.
, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE FACILITY WAS IDENTIFIED OR NOT. All such
repairs shall be done in accordance with city standard specifications, details, and
requirements of the Department.
(C) No pavement cuts in new streets.
(1) Permission to excavate in new streets shall not be granted for two years after
completion of street construction, reconstruction, or renovation (major rehabilitation).
Utilities shall determine alternate methods of making necessary repairs to avoid
excavating in new streets. Exceptions to the above are as follows:
(a) Emergency which endangers life or property;
(b) Interruption of essential utility service;
(c) Work that is mandated by city, county, state, or federal legislation;
(d) Service for buildings where no other feasible means of providing service
exists; and
(e) The Public Works Director may authorize street cuts at his or her discretion if
unplanned/unknown conditions occur resulting in the city’s best interest to authorize a
street cut.
(2) For the purposes of this section, a street is considered “new” when it is first
constructed, when it is reconstructed, or when it is renovated. Renovation shall mean a
major rehabilitation which may include mill and overlay or other similar roadway
improvement work that physically modifies the surface of the roadway prior to applying
new roadway surface or other similar work as determined by the City Public Works
Director/designee. Reconstruction shall mean completely rebuilding all the lanes of the
street by removing all the pavement and aggregate base course material, re-
compacting the sub-base, and restoring the base material and then completely re-
paving for a distance approved by the City Public Works Director. The Public Works
Director/designee shall determine the date of completion for new streets and the date
each street was last reconstructed or renovated, based on the date the street was
opened or reopened for traffic.
(3) In addition to the payment of the pavement restoration fee (as defined herein),
a condition of any street cut permit for cutting the pavement of a street within one year
of construction, reconstruction, or renovation, shall be that the permittee renovate such
street for a minimum of the full width of all lanes directly impacted by the cut(s) (outside
lane includes to the curb) and for arterial streets and for collector streets as more
specifically directed by the City Public Works Director/designee. Slurry seal, micro seal,
or other methods of sealing may be required as directed by the Public Works
Director/designee. All permits which are issued under divisions (A) through (C) above
shall be in accordance with the city approved Standard Details and Specifications.
(D) Pavement restoration fee.
(1) Whenever any encroachment permit is required to cut into, open, bore, attach
to, or make any break or disturbance to the street pavement of any arterial or collector
street within the city, the permittee shall, in addition to the repairs required by this city
code, pay to the city the pavement restoration fee established by Council resolution in
the City Fee Schedule. The pavement restoration fee adopted by Council resolution
shall be reviewed annually with the budget for street repair.
(2) The pavement restoration fee shall be paid prior to or at the time a street cut
permit is issued. In the event changes or amendments to the street cut permit are
required which would result in a change in the amount of the pavement restoration fee,
an adjusted fee shall be assessed. Utilities that possess a franchise or license
agreement for service within the city and have demonstrated reliable on time payment
may request billing on a monthly basis for pavement restoration fee.
(3) The Public Works Director may authorize or waive payment of the fee by the
city upon finding that a street cut was made on an emergency basis to avoid a threat to
public health, life, or safety, or in an extraordinary circumstance the fee may be paid by
the city upon approval of the City Council.
(E) Construction signs required for work. Whenever any work which requires a
pavement cut is being done in the city streets, easements, or right-of-way for which
approval by the city of a traffic control plan is required, the person or persons
performing the work shall maintain at the site of such work at all times during which any
such work is being done, signage meeting the requirements set forth below and

performed, i.e. the date work will commence and the date all work will be completed,
and a 24-hour contact phone number where persons may speak with a representative
of the company for whom the work is being performed or may leave a request to speak
with such a representative and for which all calls will be returned by such a
representative within 24 hours.
(2) If the work will take less than one week to perform the signage shall:

beginning any excavation in any city right-of-way, construction of or on any highway,
sidewalk, curb, gutter, or driveway approach, planting, trimming, or removing trees,
making, placing, or causing an obstruction in any city right-of-way, the permittee shall
notify the city at least 24 hours in advance of the exact date and time work will
commence unless, in the case of a continuing maintenance permit this requirement is
not imposed. Upon completion of all work authorized in the permit, the permittee shall
notify the city.
(C) No work shall be deemed to be completed until notification of completion is given
and the work is approved by the city.
(Prior Code, § 18-2-8)
§ 151.016 CEASE AND DESIST ORDERS.
Whenever any work is being done contrary to the provisions of this code, the Director
of Public Works DEVELOPMENT SERVICES/City Engineer and/or designee may
order the unauthorized work stopped by notice in writing served on any person engaged

MINOR AND OTHER MISCELLANEOUS ENCROACHMENT PERMITS
§ 151.030 MINOR ENCROACHMENT PERMIT, CLASS 1 PERMIT.
Upon review of the application, the Department shall determine whether a minor
encroachment permit is suitable for the encroachment requested in the application. A
minor encroachment permit may be issued for temporary, short term, small, or
inconsequential encroachments. Some examples of encroachments that may be
suitable for a minor encroachment permit are: public telephones; news racks; placing
temporary traffic barricades in the street; and placing merchandise on the sidewalk for a
temporary sale. The determination by the Department regarding whether a minor
encroachment is appropriate shall be final.
(Prior Code, Art. 18-3)
§ 151.031 CRITERIA FOR MINOR ENCROACHMENT PERMIT.
(A) The intent of these standards and requirements is to ensure safe access and
movement for pedestrians and motorists alike, and to ensure uniform placement,
aesthetics, and maintenance, while protecting city liability when the items are placed
within public right-of-way. It is not the purpose of this section to prevent those
encroachments which serve a public purpose, such as public telephones and news
racks, from using the public highway but only to regulate the uses to the extent
necessary to protect the public safety.
(B) For those commercial uses such as sidewalk sales, the purpose is to ensure not
only the public safety but also that public property is not allowed to be used by the
permittee to gain an unfair economic advantage over competitors. For that reason time
and use restrictions will be imposed.
(Prior Code, § 18-3-1)
§ 151.032 CLASS 1 PERMIT PROCESS.
Persons desiring a minor encroachment permit (Class1), shall make application to the
Department together with a signed indemnification agreement in the form prescribed by
the city and proof of insurance in the amounts established by the city’s Public Works
Director COUNCIL for the use. The application shall be accompanied by a non-
refundable application processing fee in an amount established by Council resolution as
necessary to recover the costs incurred by the city to review and process the
application. The Department shall review the application to ensure the indemnification
and insurance requirements have been met and the proposed placement of the
encroachment for public safety considerations and approve, conditionally approve, or
deny the permit.
