The full primary responsibility for any excavation shall be that of the permit applicant, who shall at all times keep the same properly guarded and enclosed so that the safety of persons and vehicles using the public roadway or easement will be assured. This responsibility shall continue until permanent replacement of pavements and all other surfaces to original status and condition is made and shall include the defense, settlement and payment of any and all claims, actions and court judgments for damages or injuries to anyone, arising in any way, out of the creation or maintenance of excavations by the permittee.
The applicant for a permit shall deposit with the Commissioner of Buildings evidence of a public liability insurance policy, insuring the City against any loss or damage to persons or property resulting from or growing out of the work being done.
The amount of such insurance shall be at least one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) in case of injury or death of one person, and three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) in case of injury or death of more than one person and, in case of property damage, the limits of liability shall be one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) for one accident with a total aggregate liability of three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000). All policies shall be subject to the approval of the Law Director.
