§ 62-102. Emergency stop work order.  


Latest version.
  • Nothing in this article shall prevent the director of public works or his designee to order the stoppage of all work within the public right-of-way or public road where the director or his designee determines that an emergency exists. Emergencies include, but are not limited to, factors that pose a danger to the public health, safety, and well being of persons or property, including the public right-of-way. In such instances, no written stop work order shall be required. Only work necessary to secure and safeguard the site and equipment is permissible subsequent to the emergency stop work order. Within a reasonable time of the emergency stop work order, the director of public works or his designee shall provide a written basis for the emergency work stoppage and include therein, the conditions under which the work may resume.
