1. As a condition of the permit, the permittee shall at its own expense, repair or cause repair to any private property, public utility system component, public improvement, vegetation, public rights-of- way or public property damaged by such location, construction, reconstruction, replacement or repair work, to the same or better condition than it was prior to the excavation.
2. The permittee shall restore with sod (unless seed is approved by the City) all such property to its previous condition at its expense. If multiple utilities are involved in the restoration, the City Engineer or Director of Public Services shall assess the restoration cost equally or proportionately to the parties involved.
3. If the permittee fails to repair or arrange with the City for the proper repair of any public property after excavations or damage to the surface has been made, and after 30 days’ notice in writing to do so given to its designated representative, then the City may make such repairs at the expense of the permittee. The City shall keep an account of all such expenses and invoice the permittee for the same. Thereafter, after completion of the work and the invoicing of the costs thereof, the City shall issue no further or new permits to the permit holder/property owner until it receives full payment for all outstanding amounts owed.
