OAR 734-051-5020
Issuance of Construction Permits

(1)

General Requirements. The region manager shall issue a construction permit when construction plans, if required, and all other required documents are received and approved.

(2)

Procedure. Prior to issuing a construction permit the department will issue to the applicant construction specifications including all provisions, mitigation measures, conditions, and agreements that will become part of the construction permit. To receive a construction permit, the applicant must complete the following, pursuant to subsections (a) through (d) below, within sixty (60) days of the date of the department’s transmittal of the construction specifications:

(a)

Review and sign the construction specifications to confirm that the applicant understands and agrees to the specifications including all provisions, mitigation measures, conditions, and agreements that will become part of the construction permit; and

(b)

When the department determines that standard plans are not appropriate, an applicant must submit construction plans sealed by an engineer licensed in the state of Oregon within 60 days of notice of approval of an application to obtain a construction permit. The region manager determines the acceptability of submitted construction plans. If plans are not submitted within 60 days and no request for extension is received within that time, the approval of the application will be void; and

(c)

Return the signed construction specifications to the department; and

(d)

Submit proof of liability insurance and bond or deposit in lieu of bond as required by OAR 734-051-5060 (Liability, Insurance and Bonding Requirements).

(3)

Non-Compliance. If the applicant does not complete the actions required in section (2) of this rule within the 60-day timeframe, then the department will not issue a construction permit and all approvals associated with approach application will be revoked. The 60-day time frame may be extended if the permittee and the department agree in writing before the deadline pursuant to OAR 734-051-5040 (Effective Period of Construction Permits).

(4)

True and Complete Information. An applicant or permittee shall provide true and complete information, and if any required fact that is material to the assessment of the approach’s impact upon traffic safety, convenience or the legal or property rights of any person (including the State of Oregon) is false, incorrect or omitted, the region manager may:

(a)

Deny or revoke the construction permit; and

(b)

At the applicant’s or permittee’s expense require the applicant or permittee to:

(A)

Remove the approach and restore the area to a condition acceptable to the region manager;

(B)

Provide additional safeguards to protect the safety, convenience, and rights of the traveling public and persons (including the State), if such safeguards are adequate to achieve these purposes, as a condition of the continued validity of the permit to operate; and

(C)

Reconstruct or repair the approach.

(5)

Signed Permit Required. No work on highway right of way may begin until an applicant obtains a valid construction permit, approved and signed by the region manager.
