The permittee shall not interfere with any existing facility without the written consent of the administrative authority and the owner of the facility. If it becomes necessary to relocate any existing facility, such work shall be done by its owner. No facility owned by the city shall be moved to accommodate the permittee unless the cost of such work be borne by the permittee. The cost of moving privately owned facilities shall be similarly borne by the permittee unless other arrangements are made with the owners of the facility. The permittee shall support and protect all pipes, conduits, poles, wires, or other apparatus which may be affected in any way by the excavation work and do every thing necessary to support, sustain, and protect them under, over, along, or across said work. In case of any said pipes, conduits, poles, wire or pipe coating or other encasement or devices or apparatus should be damaged, the permittee shall promptly notify the owners thereof. All damaged facilities shall be repaired and restored to fully functioning status per director approval by the permittee, and the expense of such repairs shall be borne by the permittee. It is the intent of this paragraph that the permittee shall assume all liability for damage to facilities, and any resulting damage or injury to anyone because of such facility damage and such assumption of liability is a contractual obligation of the permittee. The only exception will be such instances where damage is exclusively due to the negligence of the owning utility. The permittee shall inform itself as to the existence and location of all underground facilities and protect the same against damage. (Ord. 1348 § 2, 2016; Ord. 119 § 1(1013), 1969).
