A. Refilling And Compaction:
1. Every opening in any street, alley, or roadway of the city in which excavation of material below the surface or grade of the street, alley, or roadway is made shall be brought back, refilled, and compacted in such a manner so as to allow the surface to be replaced, repaired, and maintained in at least the same condition in which the surface existed before the opening and excavation was made.
2. It shall be the duty and responsibility of any person making any opening in a street, alley, or roadway of the city to bring back, refill or replace the subsurface material in the excavation with the same degree of compaction and quality of material required in the specifications for subsurface fill utilized by the city to establish standards for subsurface work and contract performance in the most recent similar street, alley, and roadway improvement projects carried on or done by or for or on behalf of the city in similar streets, alleys, or roadways.
B. Compliance With City Requirements:
1. All of the work to be done below the surface including the refilling of the excavation and the bringing back and compaction of the subsurface to a condition satisfactory to the city, and the cost and expense of such work, shall be borne and completed by the person making the opening separately and apart from repairs to the surface. (Ord. 13.00)
2. In excavations where more than one foot (1') of refill is required, the city engineer or city superintendent, and in the absence of the city engineer, the city building inspector or city superintendent, shall be notified prior to the subsurface material being placed in the excavation that the refill operation is about to occur. (Ord. 13.00; amd. Ord. 2.32)
3. The actual replacement and repair of any surface shall not be performed by the person making the excavation unless it is done under a written contract for surfacing to which the city is a party. All surface repairs and replacements shall be performed by the city unless the permit granted by the city for the excavation specifically mentions that some other person may perform the repairs or replacements. The cost of surface repair shall be met from the fees and charges for any excavation not expended by the city for materials used in resurfacing, and shall be retained by the city to defray engineering and inspection costs and shall be credited to the street fund. All repairs shall be approved by the city superintendent upon completion. (Ord. 13.00; amd. 2006 Code)
