This responsibility shall continue until permanent replacement of the pavement or the roadway surface to its original status is made, and shall include the defense, settlement and payment of any and all claims, actions and court judgments for damage or injury to anyone, arising in any way out of the creation or maintenance of the excavation, trench or other street opening by the permit holder.
The applicant shall deposit with the Building Commissioner evidence of a public liability insurance policy insuring the Village against any loss or damage to persons or property resulting from the work being done.
