(A) Any person, firm, or corporation making any excavation or tunnel in or under any public street, alley, or other public place in the city shall restore the surface to its original condition. Refills shall be properly tamped down, and any bracing in such tunnel or excavation shall be left in the ground.
(B) Any opening in a paved or improved portion of a street shall be repaired and the surface relaid by the applicant in compliance with the ordinances of the city and under the supervision of the Street Department.
(C) The Street Superintendent is hereby authorized to create a standard for saw-cuts, boring, backfilling, compaction, and any other necessary procedure needed to restore the roadway, curb, or alley to its original state.
(D) Should a street cut or bore fail within three years of the completion, the permitted entity shall be notified to reconstruct the failed patch. If, after notice is given to the permitted entity and the failed restoration is not adequate or completely remedied, the city shall make the repair and require the permitted entity to pay for all materials, labor, and equipment used in making the repair.
