Gallup_Municipal_ROW-Public_Easement_Work_Permit.pdf

The document is a Municipal Right-of-Way/Public Easement Work Permit from the City of Gallup, New Mexico, designed to regulate excavation and construction activities within public rights-of-way. The permit outlines detailed requirements for contractors, utilities, and property owners conducting work that involves street or alley surfaces, including mandatory submission of a work site traffic control plan, compaction testing, pavement repairs, and concrete work. The permit has a 90-day expiration from the date of issue and requires the documentation to be present at the work site at all times.

The permit includes specific fee structures based on project type, with commercial construction permits starting at $500, residential construction at $250, and non-invasive excavations at $50. The City of Gallup imposes strict regulations on excavation work, including time limitations (30-day maximum for street closures), liquidated damages of $100 per day for extended closures, and potential penalties for non-compliance. The document also specifies detailed technical requirements for backfilling, pavement cuts, compaction, and restoration of public infrastructure, with provisions for the city manager to refuse future permits or order remediation if work does not meet specified standards.
