§ 15-35. Exemption of public agencies from deposits, fees and exception

If the United States, this state, this or any other county, any municipal corporation, school district or other public agency files with the city engineer a written guarantee of payment of all costs for which they may become liable to the city under this title, then no deposit for costs shall be required from such persons, except that the city engineer may require contractors, acting as agents of a public agency, to comply with section 15-32 for projects exceeding fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) in construction costs where the performance of work within the public right-of-way in the preceding two (2) years by contractors, acting on behalf of such public agency, has been unsatisfactory. The term unsatisfactory shall mean a determination by the city engineer that twenty (20) per cent or more of city staff time than would normally be expended is used to monitor or inspect a public agency project to ensure compliance with city engineer safety and operation standards for city streets, roadways and alleys. No permit issuance fee shall be required of any public agency entitled to exemption therefrom pursuant to Section 6103 of the California Government Code.
