11 /23/2015 <br /> 68-15 Sec VIII : Construction <br /> • The current permit fee for a curb cut or sidewalk contractor license is $10 from 1962. <br /> Inflated for 2015 they would be $78.75(BLS, CPI). <br /> • For other Indiana cities with populations over 90,000, <br /> • Curb Cut fees are: <br /> • Average Residential fee is$74;Average Non-Residential is$160 <br /> • Average sidewalk fees are:$50 <br /> •The current permit does not account for the amount of construction work that is <br /> being performed and the effort contributed by the city.The permit fee should reflect <br /> the scale of the work and city's expenditure. A permit to build a subdivision should <br /> cost more than a permit to construct 10 FT of sidewalk in front of a residence. <br /> 1s <br /> 68-15 Sec VIII : Justification <br /> • Processing: Recording the permit and processing the fee.This includes time for the <br /> permit manager and the Controller's Office to: (1) process the application and <br /> provide the applicant with a receipt; (2) review bonding and insurance; (3) document <br /> and submit the payment to Billing; and (4) handle payment. <br /> • Review:This includes providing comments, alternate direction, and re-review. <br /> Review is performed by the Manger of Construction or an Assistant City Engineer and <br /> approved by the City Engineer. Repair/Replacement projects do not require <br /> engineering review. <br /> • Inspection: A construction inspector will review the permit request and visit the site <br /> to ensure that proper measures were taken. For larger projects,this may require <br /> multiple visits. <br /> 8 <br />
