Any contractor, subcontractor, corporation, firm, company, public utility or other individual who shall undertake to perform any work within the traveled portion of any public right-of-way, when such work, arrangement of equipment, condition of work area or activities associated with the conduct of such work or traffic upon the street will create or potentially create a hazard to workmen, pedestrians or motor vehicle operators upon the right-of-way or within an area adjacent thereto within the city, shall, as an express condition precedent to the issuance of a building or street use permit for such work, furnish to the director of engineering and transportation and/or the city engineer a scale plat or sketch showing the work area, the space within the right-of-way required for the work and a proposed plan for the use of barricades, signals, signs, flags, flares and other traffic-control and safety devices about the work area.
