A. Notice to owner.
1. Whenever the City Engineer shall determine that it is reasonable and necessary that any property or facility located in, upon, over or under any street be temporarily disconnected and reconnected or permanently moved, relocated or removed from any street in order that the City or other governmental agency or instrumentality may, in its governmental capacity, most economically under modern engineering and construction methods, install, construct, build or erect any public improvement or works in, on, over, under or along such street, or any other street, the City Engineer shall notify the person owning, maintaining or controlling such property to move, relocate or temporarily disconnect the same, as may be determined by the City Engineer.
2. No one doing excavation work in a City street shall interfere with any existing utility facilities without prior arrangements with the City Engineer and the Public Utility. Where existing public utility facilities would be intersected by new City owned installations or must be relocated to accommodate such work, when related to governmental function, the cost of relocation shall be borne by the Public Utility. Where existing public utility facilities are temporarily cut and reconnected by the Public Utility solely for the convenience of making new installations, the contractor making said new installations shall make arrangements with and reimburse the Public Utility for such work. Nothing in this Section is intended in any way to supersede or override the terms and provisions of any applicable franchise, or prior rights that otherwise exist in favor of said Public Utility.

Every person given such notice shall, within thirty (30) calendar days thereafter, begin the work of moving, relocating or disconnecting his property or facility as designated therein and shall prosecute such work diligently to completion; otherwise the Division shall have the power to do the same and the cost necessarily incurred to do such work may be recovered by the City from the person owning, maintaining or controlling such property or facility.
