Option 2: Have a Private Contractor Perform the Culvert Work

• If you are having a private contractor do the work, you will need to apply for a Road Occupancy Permit through Pronto before any work can take place.
• The minimum culvert diameter must be 450mm or must match the downstream culvert, whichever diameter is greater. The culvert must be installed in compliance with GSSS421, OPSS 421 and OPSD 802.  
• Once the culvert has been installed (but not backfilled) you will need to call 311 to set up an appointment to have the culvert inspected by the area foreperson.
• Further information related to Road Occupancy permits can be found here on the Traffic Interruptions or Road Closures page.

Please note, prior to work, the contractor must provide the City with a Certificate of Insurance for general liability in the amount of $5,000,000.
