(a) There is hereby granted the right, privilege, and authority to a grantee to lease, rent, or in any other manner obtain the use of towers, poles, lines, cables, and other equipment and facilities from any and all holders of public licenses, permits, and franchises within the city, and to use the towers, poles, lines, cables, and other equipment and facilities, subject to all existing and future ordinances and regulations of the city.
(b) The installation of lines, including service drops to subscribers, shall be made underground in areas where telephone and power lines are underground. This underground installation shall be made through use of conduits, openings, pipes, cables, or other installations which have already been made by those other utilities, and without making new excavations or taking up or disturbing any pavement, sidewalks, or other improvements of any street, except to the extent that the same is absolutely necessary to install service drops to subscribers; and the installation shall be done in a manner approved by the city.
(c) The grantee shall, at its expense, protect, support temporarily, disconnect, relocate in the same street or other public place, or remove from the street or other public place, any property of the grantee when require by the city by reason of traffic conditions, public safety, street vacation, freeway and street construction, change or establishment of street grade, or installation of sewers, drains, water pipes, power lines, signal lines, or any other type of structures or improvements. The city shall not be liable for any disturbance of the grantee's installation resulting therefrom. The grantee shall carry out the instructions and directions of the mayor wherever it is necessary to raise or remove any of the grantee's wires or cable temporarily for the purpose of moving or removing buildings or structures on the public streets of the city, and shall perform such tree trimming or other maintenance work as shall be required or as shall be directed by the city, all at grantee's expense.
(d) Wherever a grantee takes up or disturbs any pavement, sidewalk, or other improvement of any street, the same shall be replaced and the surface restored in as good condition as before entry, all in accordance with city ordinances, regulations, technical standards, and fee schedules. The condition of the replacement and restoration shall be guaranteed for a period of one year following completion of the work. In the event any such work shall fail within the period of one year, it shall again be replaced. Any opening or obstruction in the street shall be guarded and protected at all times by the placement of adequate barriers, fences, or boardings, the bounds of which shall be clearly designated by warning lights of approved types.
