§ 90.053 MANNER OF REPAIRING AND FILLING STREET EXCAVATIONS.
   (A)   All holes or trenches dug in the streets shall, after the work contemplated has been completed, be repaired and filled with new material of the same kind and character as that originally placed in the street, when the street was last built or repaired.
   (B)   In all cases where any work is done in and upon the streets of the city, the backfilling must be puddled and rammed, the streets must be left in at least as good condition as they were before the work was done and the streets disturbed; and the person doing the work and the person for whom it is done will be held responsible for the work and for any subsequent settling of the ground. Whenever notified by the City Engineer that the street has become out of repair where the excavation was made and on account of the work done, the person responsible therefor shall instantly cause the street to be repaired.

§ 90.054 PROTECTION, GUARDS AND WARNINGS FOR EXCAVATIONS OR HOLES IN PUBLIC PLACE.

After the pole, grating or area cover is put in or taken out, all the excavations or holes shall be guarded with red lights at night or, if reasonably necessary, with a guard or barrier by day or night to protect the traveling public along the sidewalks, streets, alleys or public places from personal injuries.
(1998 Code, § 106-80) Penalty, see § 10.99
§ 90.055 DUTIES UPON COMPLETION OF WORK IN STREET.
   After the excavation or opening shall have been made, the person so making it shall backfill the excavation with such materials and in such manner as the City Engineer may require, and leave the street or highway in at least the same condition as it was before the opening therein was made.

§ 90.056 ACCEPTANCE OF COMPLETED WORK IN STREET; USE OF BOND OR DEPOSIT TO PAY FOR COST OF REPAIRS.
   (A)   The conditions of the bond required by § 90.047 of this chapter shall not be considered to have been complied with until the Engineer shall have accepted the street or highway as being in good condition.
   (B)   If the person making the opening shall fail to leave the highway in a good state of repair, satisfactory to the Engineer, then the Engineer shall call upon the bondsmen to pay for the cost of repairing the highway; provided, however, that, if it is a cash deposit instead of a bond the engineer may proceed to have the street or other highway put in good condition, paying for the work out of the deposit made with him or her; and, if there be any remainder of the deposit after paying for the work, the remainder shall be refunded to the person making the deposit.
