In addition to the general terms and conditions for all encroachment permits listed above, permits issued pursuant to this section shall also comply with the following conditions.
(A) (1) At the option of the Department, the permittee may be required to construct conduits, ducts, and associated appurtenances such as pull boxes, which will become the property of the city upon completion of construction, in lieu of payment of annual and/or permit fees.
(2) It is intended that fees be computed as described in the fee resolution adopted by Council and waived only to the extent of equal value received by construction in kind. The city may, as its option, rent or sell to others the conduits, duct(s), and other appurtenances which are determined to be in excess of its needs.
(B) The permittee shall, without cost to the city, allow the use by the city of space in the then existing conduits and subways for wires, fire alarms, police, traffic control, and all other applicable municipal purposes as determined by the license agreement with the city.
(C) In addition to the indemnification required in the general encroachment permit terms hereinabove, the permittee shall agree to indemnify, defend, and save the city harmless from any losses, expenses, or lost revenues incurred by the permittee other than the reasonable cost of repair to the permittee’s cable and appurtenances damaged as the result of negligence by employees of the city.
