§ 6.7. Restoration.  


Latest version.
  • When the company does any work in or affecting the city streets, it shall, at its own expense, promptly remove any obstructions therefrom and restore such city streets or other city property to a condition that meets applicable city standards. If weather or other conditions do not permit the complete restoration required by this section, the company may with the approval of the city, temporarily restore the affected city streets or other city property, provided that such temporary restoration is at the company's sole expense and provided further that the company promptly undertakes and completes the required permanent restoration when the weather or other conditions no longer prevent such permanent restoration. Upon the request of the city, the company shall restore the streets or other city property to a better condition than existed before the work was undertaken, provided that the city shall be responsible for any additional costs of such restoration. If the company fails to promptly restore the city streets or other city property as required by this section, and if, in the reasonable discretion of the city, immediate action is required for the protection of public health and safety, the city may, upon giving reasonable notice to the company that is commensurate with the danger posed, restore such city streets or other city property or remove the obstruction therefrom; provided however, city actions do not unreasonably interfere with company facilities. The company shall be responsible for the actual cost incurred by the city to restore such city streets or other city property or to remove any obstructions therefrom. In the course of its restoration of city streets or other city property under this section, the city shall not perform work on company facilities unless specifically authorized by the company in writing on a project by project basis and subject to the terms and conditions agreed to in such authorization.
