The full primary responsibility for any excavation, trench or other street opening shall be that of the permittee, who shall at all times agree to keep the same properly guarded and enclosed so that the safety of pedestrian and vehicular traffic shall be assured. This responsibility shall continue until the permanent replacement of the roadway pavement to its original status is made and shall include the defense, settlement and payment of any and all claims, actions and court judgments for all damages or injuries arising, in any way, from the creation or maintenance of the excavation, trench or opening by the permittee.
