Athens City Code

In addition to making the deposit hereinbefore provided to be made in ACC 16-48, each person applying for a rights-of-way construction permit shall file a certificate of insurance or other suitable instrument indicating that he is insured against claims for damages for personal injury as well as against claims for property damage which may arise from or out of the performance of the work, whether such performance is by himself, his subcontractor, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by him. Such insurance shall cover collapse, explosive hazards, and underground work by equipment on the street and shall include protection against liability arising from completed operations. The amount of the insurance shall be prescribed by the city manager in accordance with the nature of the risk involved; provided, however, that the liability insurance for bodily injury in effect shall not be in an amount less than the current limits found in the Tennessee Governmental Tort Liability Act, T.C.A. § 29-20-101 et seq., or $250,000.00 for each person and $600,000.00 for each accident and for property damages an amount not less than $85,000.00, with an aggregate of $685,000.00 for all accidents, whichever is greater.
