(A) The permittee shall not interfere with any existing utility without the written consent of the City Engineer and the utility company or person owning the utility. If it becomes necessary to remove an existing utility, this shall be done by its owner. No utility owned by the city shall be moved to accommodate the permittee unless the cost of such work is borne by the permittee. The cost of moving privately owned utilities shall be similarly borne by the permittee unless he makes other arrangements with the person owning the utility.
(B) The permittee shall support and protect by timbers or otherwise all pipes, conduits, poles, wires, or other apparatus which may be in any way affected by the excavation work, and do everything necessary to support, sustain, and protect them under, over, along, or across said work. In case any of such pipes, conduits, poles, wires, or apparatus should be damaged, they shall be repaired by the agency or person owning them and the expense of such repairs shall be charged to the permittee, and his bond shall be liable therefor.
(C) The permittee shall be responsible for any damage done to any public or private property by reason of the breaking of any water or sewer pipes, gas pipes, electric conduits, or other utility property and the permittee's bond shall be liable therefor. The permittee shall inform himself as to the existence and location of all underground utilities and protect the same against damage.
