For Bureau of Engineering services subject to the provisions of Section 7.42, the Bureau shall require, in addition to a street vacation application, the applicant to deposit the Bureau’s estimated costs of providing the services. If before completion of the Bureau’s services, the Bureau determines that additional funds are needed to compensate the Bureau for its actual cost of providing the services, the Bureau may halt all work on the application to vacate, and require the applicant to deposit the additional amount the Bureau estimates is needed to compensate the Bureau. At the conclusion of providing the requested services, if actual Bureau costs are less than the amount deposited, the applicant shall be refunded the difference. The Bureau of Engineering shall not approve or otherwise finalize its work on an application to vacate until all monies owed pursuant to the provisions of this Article are paid.
