(a) The Pavement Cut and Repair Standards Manual and the requirements of this section govern the restoration of public right-of-way surfaces within the city. For those restoration activities not covered by the Pavement Cut and Repair Standards Manual or this section, the applicable provisions of the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction - North Central Texas will govern.
(b) A permittee performing construction in the public right-of-way shall restore the public right-of- way to a condition that is equal to or better than the condition prescribed by the most recent version of the Pavement Cut and Repair Standards Manual or other applicable city design and construction standards.
(c) Restoration work must be performed to the satisfaction of the director. Restoration work must include, but is not limited to, the following:
(1) Replacement of all sod or ground cover with sod or ground cover equal to or better than the type damaged during the work, either by sodding or seeding as required by the director.
(2) Installation or reinstallation of all manholes and handholes, as required by the director.
(3) Backfilling and compaction of all completed bore pits, potholes, trenches, or other holes, which must be performed on a daily basis unless other safety requirements are approved by the director.
(4) Street, sidewalk, and alley repair that conforms with the standards for construction established in this article and by the director.
(5) Leveling of all trenches and backhoe lines.
(6) Restoration of the excavation site to the specifications and requirements established in this article and by the director.
(7) Restoration of all landscaping, ground cover, and sprinkler systems.
(8) Restoration of any damaged traffic control devices, including but not limited to imbedded loop detectors, pavement markings, underground conduits, and signs.
(d) All location flags must be removed during the cleanup process by the permittee or the permittee’s contractor at the completion of the work.
(e) Restoration of special street, sidewalk, or drive approach surfaces designed to present unique visual images, color, or designs (regardless of the type, color, pattern, or texture of special material or process used) must be done so that the restoration matches the color, texture, and pattern of the surrounding special surfaces.
(f) Restoration must be made in a timely manner. If restoration is unsatisfactory or not performed in a timely manner, then all of the permittee’s work in progress on the project in question (except for that work related to the problem of unsatisfactory restoration) will be halted, and no other permit will be approved until all restoration is complete. Any hold on the permittee’s work will include work previously permitted but not completed. (Ord. Nos. 24495; 26263)
