  • (a)

    The grantee shall, at its own cost, restore and replace any private or public property disturbed, damaged or in any way injured by or on account of its activities to as good as the condition said property was in immediately prior to the said disturbance, damage or injury. If any such property cannot be restored, replaced or reconstructed, the grantee shall reasonably compensate the property owner for any damages caused by grantee.

    (b)

    In the event of a failure by the grantee to complete any repair or restoration work required herein or in the franchise agreement, after written notice thereof by the city, or if the grantee does not diligently proceed to commence work within such period, and diligently complete the work within a reasonable period thereafter, or if the work must be completed in less than the required period in cases of emergency constituting a threat to public health, safety and welfare, the city, at its option, may cause such work to be done. Grantee shall reimburse the city for the costs of any work done within thirty (30) days after receipt of such itemized list of such administrative and overhead costs. At its option, the city may pursue remedies in accordance with section 10-27(a)(2) through (6) herein.

    (c)

    The grantee may trim trees and other vegetation to prevent their branches from coming in contact with the wires and cables of the grantee. All trimming shall be done at the expense of grantee in the manner consistent with arborist practices and the rules and regulations of the department of parks and recreation. The grantee shall obtain the permission of the owner to trim trees outside of easements.

    (d)

    Grantee shall remove and clean on a daily basis any debris caused by construction, tree or vegetation trimming, or by any of its other operations as a grantee.
