In lieu of the provisions of Sections 105 and 106, above, when at any time any person desires the construction in or under the roadway of any public street, public sidewalk or public or private easement in the City and County of San Francisco, of any side sewer or drain and the connection thereof with a main public sewer, or the reconstruction or repair of any such side sewer or drain heretofore constructed and connected with such public sewer, or is required by law to have such construction, reconstruction or repair done or made, such person may in writing, request the Department of Public Works to make or cause to be made such construction, reconstruction or repair.
(Amended by Ord. 180-72, App. 7/5/72)
Upon such request being so made, it shall be the duty of said department to make an estimate of the expense of opening or tearing up the roadway of the street wherein such construction, reconstruction or repair is to be made and of the restoration of the same to as good a condition as it was in before said opening or tearing up, together with the estimated expense of labor to be performed and materials to be used in such construction, reconstruction or repair, including a fee of $5 to be applied as for services for official supervision.
Such person must thereupon deposit the amount of such estimates, inclusive of said fee, with the Department of Public Works, the same to be paid by said department into the Side Sewer Fund. When such amount shall have been so deposited, it shall be the duty of the said department to proceed to open or tear up the roadway of such street and construct the side sewer or drain so requested, in a proper manner with approved material, and properly connect the same with the public sewer, or to reconstruct or repair the existing side sewer or drain in a proper manner under its supervision, and thereafter said department shall at the proper time restore the said roadway to as good a condition as it was in before such opening or tearing up.
In case such person elects to furnish at his or its own expense any or all of the materials needed for use in such construction, reconstruction or repair, which privilege of such election is hereby expressly accorded, then the estimates hereinbefore provided for shall not include as an item therein the estimated expense of any or all of the said materials to be so furnished.
Contracts for the doing of the aforesaid work or any part thereof may be let by the said Department of Public Works in the manner provided in the Charter of the said City and County or such work or any part of the same may, at the option of said department, be done by days' labor.
