§ 10-63. Restoration of streets.

(a)

Whenever a licensee disturbs the surface or subsurface of any street or public way, adjoining public property or the public improvements located thereon or thereunder, the licensee shall promptly, at its own expense, restore, repair or replace the same to the satisfaction of the city.

(b)

If such restoration, repair or replacement of the surface, subsurface or any structure thereon or thereunder is not completed in a reasonable time or if such restoration, repair or replacement does not meet the city's satisfaction, the city may perform the necessary restoration, repair or replacement, either through use of its own forces or through a hired contractor, and the cost thereof, including the cost or inspection and supervision, shall be paid by the licensee within thirty (30) days after receipt of the city's invoice therefor.

(c)

All excavations made by a licensee in the streets and public ways shall be properly safeguarded for the prevention of accidents. The work hereby required shall be done in strict compliance with the rules, regulations and ordinances of the city as are now or hereafter provided.

(d)

Where consistent with the Cable Act and to the extent required by any pavement cut surcharge ordinance or resolution, a licensee shall reimburse the city for all costs arising from the reduction in the service life of a street or public way resulting from the licensee's pavement cuts. A licensee shall pay such costs no later than thirty (30) days after the city issues its invoice for the same.
