(a) The person or public utility granted such permit to excavate anywhere within the street lines shall assume the sole liability and responsibility for the protection of persons against injury and of property against damage by the erection of barricades, warning signs, lights and the use of flagmen if necessary. The sufficiency of such safety measures shall be determined by the City Engineer, but approval of such shall not relieve the person or public utility from the liability hereby imposed.
(b) The person or public utility to whom such permit is issued shall also assume the responsibility for the repair of pavement failure and/or the settlement of the trench for a period of one year from the completion of the work.
