(A) It is not only the responsibility of the excavator to notify the city prior to excavation operations and to notify the city of damages which occur but it is also the responsibility of the excavator to pay for or, with prior approval of the city, repair damages to city property. The excavator is responsible to fully compensate the city for repairs to streets, sidewalks, culverts, sign poles, or any other damages to city property in addition to underground facilities.
(B) Authorized agencies that have a valid and current reciprocal agreement with the city that provides an express exemption may be exempt from the requirements to pay for damages if the city is properly notified in accordance with §§ 97.061 and 97.064 of this subchapter and the terms of such agreement.
