The work to be done under the Permit, and the Restoration of the Right -of -Way as required herein, must be completed within the dates specified in the Permit, increased by as many days as work could not be done because of circumstances constituting force majeure or when work was prohibited as unseasonal or unreasonable under Section 1.16, Subd. 2 all in the sole determination of the City. In addition to repairing its own work, the Permittee must restore the general area of the work, and the surrounding areas, including the paving and its foundations, to the same condition that existed before the commencement of the work and must inspect the area of the work and use reasonable care to maintain the same condition for thirty -six (36) months thereafter.
