All excavations made within the street lines or sidewalk removed shall be subject to supervision by the Service Director. All paving, material, flagging, curbing and ballasting shall be carefully removed and preserved. After the work is completed, as contemplated by the application for the permit referred to in Section 901.02, the trench or excavation shall be refilled in accordance with the directions of the Service Director. The flagging, concrete, paving or other paving material shall be properly replaced under the supervision of the Service Director, but at the applicant's expense.
All excavations, obstructions or places where the sidewalk is removed shall be carefully guarded, protected or barricaded at all times and during the night season shall be defined by amber colored lights. Such other precautions shall be taken as are necessary to guard against accidents. In this respect the Service Director may issue any additional orders as he or she may consider proper which shall be implicitly and promptly complied with. At all times the work shall be done so as to cause the least inconvenience to property owners and the general public.
All street excavations, in addition to the provisions in the foregoing paragraph, shall be covered until such time as they are repaved with a suitable steel or iron material such as boiler plate or interlocking steel sheet piling of not less than three-fourths inch minimum thickness and of sufficient tensile strength to safely sustain motor vehicular traffic over such street excavation.

If the deposit provided for in Section 901.02 is insufficient to reimburse the City the Director of Finance shall certify the deficiency to the Service Director who shall thereupon notify the applicant for the permit of the deficiency and proceed to collect the same from the permit applicant.
