Public Works Construction Permit

Public Works Construction Permit

The Plan Review and Design Exceptions Submittal Form also known as the Public Works Construction Permit (PWCP) shall be used to submit public infrastructure plans and design exceptions. The form is located on this page.

The preliminary construction cost estimate must be prepared by the ENGINEER and attached to this permit. A construction permit fee of 2% of the final construction cost estimate ($500 minimum) will be required prior to issuance of the construction permit. The construction cost used to calculate the required fee is associated with all improvements made in the public right-of-way or public improvements constructed in easements. This includes but is not limited to road, curb, sidewalk, driveway, ADA ramps, grading, erosion control, storm drainage, sanitary sewer, water, street light, retaining structures, signage, and striping. A construction permit fee of 2% of the estimated construction cost will be required prior to commencing construction activity. The fee will be collected in lieu of the Right-of-Way Permit Fee (Street-cut fees still apply). The final construction cost estimate associated with the construction permit must include any scope changes associated with the plan review process.

The Public Works Director or their designee, is authorized to interpret the criteria and grant variances where a particular application would cause undue hardship to an applicant.  These standards are not intended to unreasonably limit any innovative or creative effort which could result in better quality, cost savings, or both.  Refer to Section 2.6 Design Exceptions of the Design Standards manual for the request process.
