(a) The restoration of pavement or other surface shall be performed under the direction and to the satisfaction of the Service Director.
(b) The backfilling over the drains, sewers or other utility lines, after they have been laid and accepted by the proper official, shall be done by hand with fine material and tamped to a point one foot above the top of the utility line or pipe. Above this point, backfill shall be in layers not more than eight inches thick and compacted by rolling or flushing or a combination of both methods, as directed by the Service Director. All paving which is removed must be replaced within forty-eight hours after the completion of the work in the excavation, unless instructed otherwise by the Director. The restoration shall be done so as to make the pavement at least as good as it was before it was disturbed. The contractor shall be responsible for any subsequent settlement of the ground or pavement. All water lines must be protected from settlement or injury. All gas lines, oil lines and telephone conduits shall be protected.
(c) Upon failure or refusal of the permittee satisfactorily to fill the excavation, restore the surface and remove all excess materials within the time specified in the permit, or where not specified therein, within a reasonable time after commencement of the work, the City may proceed without notice to make such fill and restoration and the cost thereof shall be deducted from the deposit posted under Section 905.02. If the cost of such restoration should exceed the amount of such deposit, the proper officer of the City shall proceed to collect the remainder due from such permittee and no permit shall be subsequently granted until such amounts are paid.
