(A) Upon cancellation, revocation, termination, forfeiture, or normal expiration of the franchise term the city shall have the right to require the grantee to remove, at grantee's expense, all or any portion of the system within the city. Grantee shall, at its own expense, refill any excavation made by it, and shall leave all streets and other property within the city in as good a condition as prior to grantee's removal of the system. Grantee shall not affect, alter or disturb in any way electric, telephone, or other utility, cables, wires or attachments belonging to city or another franchisee. City shall have the right to inspect and approve the condition of streets and other property within the city after removal. All letters of credit, bonds, insurance, indemnity and liquidated damages provisions of the franchise shall remain in full force and effect during the entire period of removal.
(B) If such removal is not commenced within 30 days following written notice of city's demand for removal, or if such removal is not completed within six months of such notice, the city, at its sole option, may perform such removal and collect the cost thereof from the grantee. The cost of such removal by the city shall be recoverable from the letters of credit, bonds, insurance, indemnity and liquidated damages provisions of the franchise.
