A Utility may perform service and maintenance operations on City streets including opening and disturbing the surface of the right-of-way without prior approval in those instances where an emergency exists that is dangerous to the life or safety of the public and which requires immediate repair. The Utility shall take all necessary and reasonable safety measures to protect the traveling public and shall notify the Public Works Director at the earliest possible moment. 10. The Utility shall assume all liability for, and save the City, its agents and employees, harmless from any and all claims for damages, actions or causes of action arising out of the work to be done herein and the continuing uses by the Utility, including but not limited to the placing, constructing, reconstructing, maintaining and using of said utility under this application and Permit. RESTORATION PROCEDURES 1. Upon completion of an installation, the Utility shall restore the right-of-way to its original condition. The extent of the restoration of street surfacing will depend upon the age of the in-place street surfacing, as shown on Plate 1 City of Mounds View, Street Restoration Procedures for Utility Holes and Trenches. The Utility shall then notify the office of the Public Works Director of the completion of the work so that inspection can be made to determine its acceptability. 2. No open cutting of City streets shall be allowed except as specifically authorized in a valid permit approved by the Public Works Director. 3. All crossings of the roadbeds of the City shall be made by boring inside a casing or carrier pipe, or by jacking, unless this procedure is modified in the special conditions of the Permit. The auger shall not lead the casing or carrier pipe by more than one inch. All voids caused by jacking or boring shall be filled by pressure grouting with a sand-cement slurry. 4. Underground installations shall be accomplished without damaging or destroying the principal root structure of specimen trees. 5. Backfilling of trenches will be completed to 95% of standard proctor density or as approved by the engineer. The Public Works Director may require compaction tests at the expense of the Permitee and may require nonconforming materials or construction to be removed and replaced at the expense of the Permitee. 6. Permitee shall be responsible for the work pursuant to City ordinance. If settlement occurs due to utility installation in the pavement, curb, or boulevard within two years from the completion date of the permit, the permit holder shall repair or replace the defective area with similar material to the satisfaction of the Public Works Director. 7. All waterways and lines of drainage shall remain operative. 8. Wherever topsoil and sod are disturbed, they shall be replaced and maintained satisfactorily until the turf is established. 9. The utility facility and installation shall not interfere with any existing utility facilities on the right-of- way. 10. When necessary, barricades, warning devices and flagmen shall be provided by the Utility during all phases of their construction and maintenance operations on the right-of-way.
