No permit required by this article shall be issued until the applicant for such permit shall deposit such sum that the City Manager deems necessary, in no case being less than one hundred dollars ($100.00) or post a (performance) bond to remain in effect for a period of one year, or both, to indemnify the City against damage as a result of the excavation or to be used to offset required inspection service costs that result from noncompliance to City standards. In the event the conditions of the permit are not fulfilled or the City right of way is not restored to its original condition, the applicant shall be given notice to make the necessary corrections and if such corrections are not made, the City shall perform the necessary work. The applicant shall pay for all labor and material costs associated with such work, as well as any extra inspection costs. These costs may be deducted from the required deposit.
