ordinance-no-3746 is a city ordinance adopted by the city-of-miami on April 20, 1949, designed to protect public property from damage caused by construction activities. It mandates that owners or contractors deposit a performance bond or cash deposit before receiving permits for construction, excavating, clearing, filling, or grading (p. 347).
The building-inspector determines the deposit amount based on the value of public improvements at the site, with a minimum requirement of $50.00 (p. 348). The ordinance allows for appeals to the director of public service if the deposit is deemed excessive (p. 348). Funds may be used to repair damage or remove undesirable materials if the site is not properly cleared after work is completed (p. 348). This regulation supports the broader construction-performance-bonds framework and ensures compliance with code-enforcement-mechanisms.
