A. When a user, or any person acting on their behalf, does any work in or affecting any public rights of way or City property, they shall, at their own expense, promptly remove any obstructions therefrom and restore the ways or property to a condition equal to or better than its condition prior to commencement of the work unless otherwise directed by the City Engineer, or unless otherwise specified by a permit.

B. If weather or other conditions do not permit the complete restoration required by this Section, the user shall temporarily restore and maintain the affected rights of way or property if directed to do so by the City Engineer. Temporary restoration shall be at the user’s own expense and the user shall promptly undertake and complete the required permanent restoration when the weather or other conditions no longer prevent permanent restoration. Any corresponding modification to the construction schedule is subject to approval by the City. Temporary restoration means restoring the property to a safe condition permitting the use of the property as was made prior to the work being undertaken. Temporary restoration does not require paving, landscaping or surfacing of a permanent nature.

C. If the user fails to restore rights of way or property to good order and condition, the City shall give the user written notice and provide the user a reasonable period of time, not exceeding 30 days, to restore the rights of way or property. If the user fails thereafter to restore the rights of way or property to good order and condition, the City may cause the restoration to be made at the expense of the user, and the user shall reimburse the City for such costs, including all labor and material costs and an administrative overhead fee of 20% plus interest after 30 days.
