It shall be unlawful for any person or owner of utilities, private or public, to make
any excavation or opening in or boring below any street, alley, sidewalk, boulevard,
neutral ground or planting space located within the public right-of-way without first
obtaining a permit from the public works department. If emergency repairs are necessary
to restore or maintain service, the entity making the emergency repairs need not obtain
a permit in advance of making the repairs, but shall comply with all other applicable
provisions of this division. The permit shall be obtained at the first reasonable
opportunity after such emergency repairs have commenced. No permit is required under
this division whenever any person has been awarded a public contract pursuant to the
laws of the state and for the construction of improvements on behalf of the city-parish
consolidated government. Work crews of the city-parish consolidated government shall
not be required to obtain a permit for right-of-way excavation outside pavement areas,
but they shall adhere to construction specifications contained in this division.
