Work shall progress in an expeditious manner as permitted by weather conditions until completion in order to avoid unnecessary inconvenience. In the event that the work is not performed in accordance with applicable regulations, excavations and utility connections, or the work is not done in an expeditious manner, or is abandoned without due cause, the city may, after seventy two (72) hours' notice to the permit holder, correct and fill the excavation or repair the street. The entire cost of such work shall be paid by the permit holder upon demand made by the city. In accordance with Minnesota rule 7819.1000, subpart 3, the city shall establish and impose a delay penalty for unreasonable delays in right of way excavation, obstruction, patching, or restoration. The delay penalty shall be established from time to time by city council resolution. A delay penalty will not be imposed for delays due to force majeure, including inclement weather, civil strife, acts of God, or other circumstances beyond the control of the applicant.
