21-4.13   Repairs Made by City; Reimbursement Authorized; Fee Schedule; Use of Bond to Cover Costs.
   a.    If a permittee fails or refuses to comply with any corrective action or to properly repair any cut or excavation in compliance with the standards and requirements of the Department or this Subchapter, the Planning and Design Division shall then instruct the Public Works Operations Division or other selected contractors to make all necessary repairs. In this event, the City shall be reimbursed by the permittee for all repairs based upon time and material cost plus twenty-five (25%) percent for overhead expenses.
   b.    Any work required and fees covered under this Subchapter shall be billed to the permittee. If the permittee refuses to pay the bill within thirty (30) days, the City shall use the proceeds from the bond required hereinabove to cover the bill. Should the surety bond not be sufficient to cover expenses incurred by the City during repairs, liens or other recovery methods may be used.
   c.    In addition to the above, if a permittee fails or refuses to make corrective action, the Department may revoke the existing permit. If a permittee fails to reimburse the City for its costs in making repairs, no new permits or approvals from any other City department shall be issued until the outstanding balance is paid.
