AN ORDINANCE REGULATING THE EXCAVATION AND RESTORATIO1
OF STREET AND ALLEY PAVEMENTS (PAVED OR UNPAVED), WITHIN TI
PUBLIC RIGHTS-OF,WAY UNDER CITY OF JEFFERSONVILLE JURISDICTI(
Whereas, the City has a legal duty to protect the safety and welfare of persons using
rights- of-way for transportation purposes and,
Whereas, other facindes oxvned privately, or owned by public or government operar

Whereas, the need to protect the safety and welfare of the public should not be
compromised more than necessary by sUch other permitted uses.
THEREFORE IT IS HEREBY ORDAINED THAT:
No contractor may excavate into, under, or across, any pavements (paved or unpave~
gutters, or curbs within the public rights-of-way under the City ofJeffersonvine's jurisdicfio
xvithout first obtaining a Street Cut Permit from the office of the City Engineer.
The edges of all excavations into the paved or finished pavements, gutters, and curbs
be sawed to a minimum depth of one-th[rd (1/3) the depth of the pavement, gutter, or curt
sawed cut may never be less than two (2) inches.
All excavations made into, under, across, or within one (1) foot of the finished edge q, f
pavements (paved or unpaved), gutters, or curbs must be backfined with "Flowable Fin", al{o
known as "Controlled Low Strength Material" fill.

PLACEMENT.
Before any Flowable Fill is placed, any pipes, structures, or other objects that may be disp]
the placement of the Flowable Fill must be adequately anchored, braced, or otherwise sec~
The City Engineer may require inspection of the excavation and/or bracing prior to backt

The mixture must be discharged from a Ready M/xed Concrete truck into the space that i~
filled. Each filling stage must be as continuous as practicable. If needed under emergenc'
conditions, or at the sole discretion of the City Engineer, concrete may be placed on the t
Fill as soon as bleeding water has subsided. All pavements must be placed accordihg to 1:
Fill manufacturer's recommendations.
LIMITATIONS.
Floxvable Fill may not be placed on frozen ground.
Flowable Fill must be protected from freezing until the material has stiffened and bleedir
has subsided. As the temperature nears freezing additional curing time may be needed.
TEMPORARY PAVEMENT RESTORATION
The permit holder must permanently repair any cut temporarily repaired under this sectir
removing the temporary patch in its entirety and permanently restoring the pavement dis
the cut. The temporary patch is defined as the material filling the space that the permam
xvill occupy. The permit holder must notify the City of Jeffersonville Street Department
(2) business days of completion of final restoration. It is the permit holder's responsibil/t

If the permit holder uses a temporary surface repair, the temporary surface repair must be ~

completed in the placement of material in three (3) four (4)-inch lifts: or
2. While work is continually in progress, the cut may be covered with steel plates havit
minimum thickness of three-fourths (3/4) inch which shall be secured so as not to
and constituted a hazard when open to traffic.
PERMANENT PAVEMENT RESTORATION
Permit holders must make all cuts in accordance with this section. The restoration of the
of all cuts must be completed by such methods and in such manner that the plane of the s~
the repair at the time of completion and thereafter will be flush with all contiguous surface
will create no dissymmetry with the topography of the roadway. Also, the final surface ele'
must be at the same elevation as the original surface. The surface restoration may be made
using milling, infrared or future technologies approved by the City Engineer, unless a spec5
method is required by the permit or by the Inspector. As a part of the surface restoration,
Street Department may share in the permit holder's cost by adding roadway improvement~'

bending it back into position when the concrete is replaced) and properly fastened'

existing pavement sides one (1) foot deep at two (2) foot center-to-center spacing;
minimum of two bars per side. All new concrete must be protected against excessix
