§ 13.08.100. Responsibility of permittee.

A.

The permittee shall be responsible for, and shall hold the city harmless against, all damages to persons or property resulting from the making or repair of the cut or excavation, whether done by himself or by the city; and the taking out of the permit shall be deemed a contractual acceptance of this obligation by the permittee in a condition of the issuance of the permit. The person making the cut or excavation shall continue to protect it and be responsible for its condition until the work allowed in the permit is completed as required in the permit.

B.

If the permittee fails to complete any work required of him hereunder as promptly as reasonably possible consistently with good construction practice, or if the permittee fails to take any protective measure required of him by this chapter, the work may, in the discretion of the permit official, be done by city forces or by contract whether requested or not; and the proper charge shall be made against the permittee in accordance with this section.
