Whenever any work or improvement shall require the digging up, use, or occupancy of any public way or other public place in the city, substantial covenants requiring such contractor to put up and maintain such barriers and lights during the night time as will effectually prevent the happening of any accident for which the city might be liable in consequence of such digging up, use, or occupancy of any public way or other public place, shall be inserted in the contract and also such other covenants and conditions as experience may prove necessary to save the city harmless from damages. The chief procurement officer shall also provide in such contract that the party contracting with the city shall be liable for all damages occasioned by the digging up, use, or occupancy of such public way or other public place, or which may result therefrom.
