(A) The city reserves the right for itself, for all cities and public entities to improve the surface of any city street over which any franchise is granted, upon written notice that the grantor intends to improve any such city street within the territory covered by the franchise, and requests that the grantee erect, install, lay or construct beneath the surface of the city street the facilities which at that time are known or believed by the grantor to be necessary or convenient to serve its needs and those of the public in the foreseeable future. The grantee shall commence such work on or before the date specified in such written notice and request, which date shall be not less than 30 days from receipt of such written notice and request and diligently prosecute such work to completion.
(B) After the completion of street improvements by the grantor, the right of the grantee to lay or construct facilities in, under or through the improved surface of such city street or portion of such city street, under the franchise, shall be subject to such additional terms and conditions as the Director of Public Works may impose to minimize any damage to such improved surface.
