6. Excavation Permit Required for Contracts less than $50,000. The successful contractor shall use the utmost care to not damage the City right-of-way during the performance of the work or during the transportation of equipment, materials, debris, etc. to or from the project site. The successful contractor is required to obtain an Excavation Permit from the City of Danville Department of Public Works before Notice to Proceed is issued to the contractor if the value of the work is less than $50,000.

The permit fee will initially be waived conditioned upon satisfactory performance; however, the contractor must obtain a bond (or similar surety) in the amount of $20,000 before the Excavation Permit can be issued. If right-of-way damage is discovered, the contractor will be responsible for repair of any damage in the right-of-way to the satisfaction of the Department of Public Works, the conditional waiver of the permit fee will be revoked, and the permit holder shall be liable to pay a permit fee in an amount based on the discovered damage and, if the contractor fails to repair the identified damage to the satisfaction of the Department of Public Works, the City will correct the damage and the contractor shall be responsible for all associated costs not otherwise covered by the permit fee.
