work to be installed within the right-of-way. The County will be responsible only for the review and approval of the utility’s proposal with respect to the locations of the utility facilities to be installed and the manner of installation as related to the County Standards and Specifications. Approval of the permit does not relieve the utility of responsibility for the design. The County does not alter current regulations or authority for installing utilities nor for determining financial responsibility for replacing or adjusting utilities.

Any violation of the terms of this ordinance or the specifications adopted by the County Engineer and/or County Highway Department shall be assumed to require additional inspection and one additional daily permit fee will be assessed for each such infraction.

In the event that any action is required to address any maintenance issues during the maintenance period, the contractor shall be responsible for any additional work necessary to maintain the work. If a contractor is required to perform maintenance work, then the contractor shall also be required to secure a daily inspection permit and pay the fee for the time period required to perform the maintenance.
