(A) In case the pavement or the surface of the rights-of-way over any excavation should become depressed or broken at any time within five years after the excavation has been completed and before resurfacing of the rights-of-way, natural wear of the surface excepted, the franchisee shall, upon written notice from the city, immediately proceed to inspect the depressed or broken area over the excavation to ascertain the cause of the failure.
(B) The franchisee shall make repairs to the installation or backfill and have the pavement restored as specified by the city, within such time period as may be specified by the city.
(C) If the pavement is not restored as specified by the city within the time period specified by the city, and unless delayed by a strike or conditions beyond the franchisee’s control, the city may cause the work to be done after giving the franchisee 24 hours’ final notice. The cost thereof, including, but not limited to, any inspection costs and administrative overhead incurred by the city, shall be assessed against the franchisee.
