(A) The permittee must restore the surface of all streets, broken into or damaged as a result of the excavation work, to its original condition in accordance with the specifications of the City Engineer. The permittee may be required to place a temporary surface over openings made in paved traffic lanes. Except when the pavement is to be replaced before the opening of the cut to traffic, the fill above the bottom of the paving slab must be made with suitable material well tamped into place and this fill must be topped with a minimum of at least one inch of bituminous mixture which is suitable to maintain the opening in good condition until permanent restoration can be made. The crown of the temporary restoration must not exceed one inch above the adjoining pavement. The permittee must exercise special care in making such temporary restorations and must maintain the restorations in safe traveling condition until such time as permanent restorations are made. The asphalt which is used must be in accordance with the City Engineer specifications.
(B) Permanent restoration of the street must be made by the permittee in strict accordance with the specifications prescribed by the City Engineer to restore the street to its original and proper condition, or as near as may be.
(C) Acceptance or approval of any excavation work by the Engineer does not prevent the city from asserting a claim against the permittee and/or its surety under the surety bond required hereunder for incomplete or defective work if discovered within 12 months from the completion of the excavation work. The City Engineer's presence during the performance of any excavation work does not relieve the permittee of its responsibilities hereunder.
