In consideration of these regulations, the applicant and the City of Tontitown subscribe to the following agreement:

3. That the applicant will fully protect the traffic on the street during construction covered hereunder by the proper traffic control devices in accordance with Part 6, Temporary Traffic Control, of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), latest edition, and to hold harmless and indemnify the City of Tontitown, its officers and employees from all damages, expenses, claims or liability arising out of any alleged damages of any nature to any person or property, due to construction, performance or non-performance of work, or existence of said driveway.
4. Permittee shall be responsible for locating and protecting all utilities in the work area(s) and to hold harmless and indemnify the City of Tontitown and its duly appointed agents, officers and employees, from all damages, expenses, claims or liability arising out of any alleged damages of any nature to any utilities due to the construction, performance, or non-performance of work.

7. That the profile grade of driveways shall be constructed as indicated on the attached sketch or plan.
8. Deposit or surety bond in the amount below must be deposited with the City of Tontitown’s Recorder/Treasurer at 235 E Henri de Tonti Blvd before the permit for an access driveway to a commercial concern is issued. If the work is completed as specified, the deposit will be returned, but if the permit requirements are not met, the City of Tontitown will revoke the permit, call for the deposit or bond and remove the driveway.
9. The grantee shall maintain all existing street regulatory, warning, guide and informational signs in an effective location at all times for the duration of the work and shall install them at the correct location upon completion of the work. Any signs damaged by the grantee shall be replaced at no cost to the City.
10. Mailbox support: If you are also going to install a new or replacement mailbox, please let us know and the City of Tontitown will provide detailed information on approved mailbox installations including supports, boxes, and mountings. Please note there are in excess of 30 million mailboxes in the United States. As many as 100 fatalities a year occur as a result of vehicles colliding with these mailboxes. The potential for disabling injury and the resulting civil action is reduced when mailboxes are installed using approved methods and materials that are designed with road safety in mind. Remember, the mailbox owner may be held liable in case of collision.
