The City Engineer of the City of Pullman shall grant such permit only upon compliance with the following terms and conditions: The party requesting such permit shall make application therefor in writing and file with the engineer a brief description of the cut, excavation, tunnel, undermining, or thing desired to be done by the applicant and giving the location upon the street, highway, alley, sidewalk, or public place where such cut, break, excavation, tunnel, or undermining is to be done together with an estimate of the area of such street, alley, highway, sidewalk, or public place to be affected. The act or acts permitted under such permit shall at all times be under the supervision and control of the engineer but at the expense of the party procuring such permit and in case any such place referred to in this Chapter shall be disturbed in any way the replacement thereof to its former condition shall at all times be subject to the direction of the engineer and the same shall be replaced and restored to its former condition within the time by him stated and specified, providing that when the cut, excavation, or other work done by the person, firm, or corporation to whom the permit is granted has removed, broken, or damaged any paved street, highway, sidewalk, or public place, said permittee shall compact backfill to a depth ready for the placing of crushed rock and when this has been approved by the City Engineer, said permittee shall place not less than twelve inches of crushed stone upon the backfill to bring excavation cut or depression to grade. The City of Pullman will replace the pavement over or upon said crushed rock.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at the expiration of the time fixed by such permit or upon the completion of the work allowed to be done by such permit the City Engineer shall, if he deems it advisable, have the right to do all work or things necessary to restore such street, alley, sidewalk, highway, or public place to its prior and proper condition and the party obtaining such permit will be liable for the expenses thereof; providing that the City shall have in addition to any other rights hereunder a cause of action for all of its expenses and amounts paid out upon said work. If in the judgment of the City Engineer it is not expedient to relay the pavement of any cut or excavation made in any street, alley, sidewalk, highway, or other public place at the completion of the work allowed under such permit by reason of the looseness of the earth or weather conditions, he may direct the party holding such permit to lay a temporary surface of suitable material designated by him, over such cut or excavation to remain until such time as the repair or replacement of the pavement can be properly done and in case of the failure of the permittee to, in good faith, commence and perform the laying of such temporary surface within five days after the date of notice so to do, the City Engineer may lay such temporary surface or cause the same to be done and collect the cost thereof from the party having such permit in the manner of this section hereinbefore provided. (Ord. A-255 §2, 1953).
