(1) The number, size, depth, and duration of the excavations, disruptions, or damage to the right-of-way; (2) The traffic volume catted by the right-of-way; the character of the neighborhood surrounding the right-of-way; (3) The pre-excavation condition of the right-of-way; remaining life expectancy of the right- of-way affected by the excavation; (4) Whether the relative cost of the method of restoration to the permit holder is in reasonable balance with the prevention of an accelerated deprecation of the right-of-way that would otherwise result from the excavation, disturbance or damage to the right-of-way; and (5) The likelihood that the particular method of restoration would be effective in slowing the deprecation of the right-of-way that would otherwise take place. (D) Guarantees. By choosing to restore the right-of-way itself, the permit holder guarantees its work and shall maintain it for 36 months following the completion. During this 36-month period, it shall, upon notification from the city, correct all restoration work to the extent necessary, using the method required by the city. The work shall be completed within 5 calendar days of the receipt of the notice from the city, not including days during which work cannot be done because of extraordinary circumstances or days when work is prohibited as unseasonable or unreasonable under § 96.18. (E) Failure to restore. If the permit holder fails to restore the right-of-way in the manner and to the condition required by the city, or fails to satisfactorily and timely complete all repairs required by the city, the city at its option may perform or cause to be performed the work. In that event, the permit holder shall pay to the city, within 30 days of billing, the cost of restoring the right-of-way. If the permit holder fails to pay as required, the city may exercise its rights under the performance and restoration bond. (F) Degradation fee in lieu of restoration. In lieu of right-of-way restoration, a permit holder shall pay to the city a degradation fee to cover city costs associated with a decrease in the useful life of a public right-of-way caused by excavation and repairs. Payment of a degradation fee does not relieve the permit holder of the obligation to make necessary right-of-way repairs. (1993 Code, § 1165.13) § 96.16 JOINT APPLICATIONS. (A) Joint application. Registrants may jointly make application for permits to excavate or obstruct the right-of-way at the same place and time. (B) With city projects. Registrants who join in and during a scheduled obstruction or excavation preformed by the city, whether or not it is a joint application by 2 or more registrants or a single application, are not required to pay the obstruction and degradation portions of the permit fee. (C) Shared fees. Registrants who apply for permits for the same obstruction or excavation, which is not preformed by the city, may share in the payment of the obstruction of excavation permit fee. Registrants must agree among themselves as to the portion each will pay indicate the same on their applications. 77
