A. The permittee shall take all steps necessary to protect the public during the permitted activities, including, but limited to, motorists, pedestrians, and abutting property owners. Permanent restoration of the right-of-way shall be made by the permittee in strict accordance with the engineering standards and specifications of the public works director. Permanent restoration may include overlays of portions of the right-of-way and restoration of landscaping which have been disrupted by excavation work.

B. The permittee shall guarantee conformance with the public works director’s engineering standards and specifications. Acceptance of any excavation work or right-of-way restoration shall not prevent the city from asserting a claim against the permittee and permittee’s surety under the security device required by this chapter for incomplete or defective work, if such is discovered within the period of guarantee and maintenance. The presence of the director, or designee, during the performance of any excavation work shall not relieve the permittee of any responsibility under this chapter. (Ord. 2711 § 5, 2005)
