(A) Upon its receipt of reasonable advance notice, not to be less than two business days, the grantee shall, at its own expense, protect, support, temporarily disconnect, relocate in the public way or remove from the public way any property of the grantee when lawfully required by the franchising authority by reason of traffic conditions, public safety, street abandonment, freeway and street construction, change or establishment of street grade, installation of sewers, drains, gas or water pipes, or any other type of structures or improvements by the franchising authority; however, the grantee shall in all cases have the right of abandonment of its property if public funds are available to any company using the street, easement or right-of-way for the purpose of defraying the cost of any of the foregoing, and the funds shall also be made available to the grantee.
(B) The grantee shall, on the request of any person holding a building moving permit issued by the franchising authority, temporarily raise or lower its wire to permit the moving of the building, provided:
(1) The expense of the temporary raising or lowering of wires is paid by the person, including, if required by the grantee, making the payment in advance; and
(2) The grantee is given not less than ten-business days' advance written notice to arrange for the temporary wire changes. However, in the event that the wires of the grantee which are required to be moved are not or have not been installed in accordance with the National Electrical Safety Code, the third party shall not be liable for the expense associated in moving the wire or wires.
