§ 7-1.232. Plans and specifications.

All work pursuant to the provisions of this chapter shall be performed in accordance with the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, 1973 Edition, as modified and adopted by the City, copies of which are on file in the office of the City Clerk. In the alternative, work may be performed according to the plans and specifications referred to in the permit granted pursuant to the provisions of this chapter and to any special requirements, conditions, and/or specifications which are made a part of such permit. The Director of Public Services shall have the authority to permit work to be performed under less restrictive specifications that set forth in said Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction upon making all of the following findings:

(a)

That any work done under less restrictive circumstances as permitted by the Director of Public Services shall be of an interim nature;

(b)

That full compliance will be had with the specifications when future planned improvement work is accomplished;

(c)

That under the circumstances it would be unsound to require strict adherence to the specifications during the interim;

(d)

That the interim exception to full compliance with the specifications will not injuriously affect the public health, safety, and welfare; and

(e)

That there has been compliance with all the requirements of the applicable bonds required by the provisions of this chapter, and that such bonds have been approved by the City Attorney, to guarantee the performance of the obligation to faithfully complete any work to be done.
