§ 96.069 PATCHING AND RESTORATION STANDARDS.
   (A)   Minimum standards. Patching and restoration of the rights-of-way shall be performed according to the applicable standards and with materials comparable to those used by the city, and at a minimum shall comply with the applicable standard engineering drawing. All edges of a surface cut made to a paved street shall be sawed, and such surface cuts shall be sealed with a sealant approved by the city. In addition, the city shall approve all backfill material utilized.
   (B)   Additional standards. In special circumstances, the City Manager may impose additional restoration requirements upon a determination that the minimum patching and restoration standards are inadequate because of at least one of the following considerations:
      (1)   The number, size, depth and duration of the excavations;
      (2)   Disruptions or damage to the right-of- way;
      (3)   The traffic volume carried by the right- of-way;
      (4)   The pre-excavation condition of the right-of-way; and
      (5)   The remaining life expectancy of the right-of-way affected by the excavation.
   (C)   Guarantees. Each party performing excavations pursuant to a permit required by this subchapter guarantees its restoration work and shall maintain it for one year following its completion. During this period, it shall, upon notification from the City Manager, correct all restoration work to the extent necessary, using the method required by the City Manager.
