Right-of-Way Licenses 

A right-of-way license is required for work within the Town right-of-way or work on any portion of the Town sewer system, including sewer laterals.  This license must be renewed on a yearly basis at the Engineering Division Office for a charge of $50.00.  Proof of bond and insurance meeting the requirements below must be provided at the time of application for a right-of-way license.  Appropriate state licensure including plumbing licenses for storm drainage or sanitary sewer construction (P-1, P7, or W9) shall be demonstrated at the time of application for a right-of-way license.

Bond and insurance must be kept in effect for a period of one year after completion of the last work performed by the Contractor.

As described in the Town Code of Ordinances Section 17-101, right-of-way permits and licenses are non-transferable, meaning that each contractor working within the Town right-of-way must have a separate right-of-way license and permit for work being performed.

Bond Requirements ($10,000 Surety Bond )

As described in the Town Code of Ordinances Section 17-99, a surety bond shall be filed by the applicant for a right-of-way license with the Engineering Division Office. The surety bond shall be in the amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) and shall be written by an indemnity or surety company authorized to transact business in the state and approved by the Town Manager or his agent. 

A copy of the Town's bond form is available here, or from the Engineering Division Office.
