Section 4: MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITIES <br /> 4.A GENERAL <br /> Patches or excavations within the public way in need of maintenance shall be reported to <br /> the Utility Inspector. In most cases, a utility cut requires maintenance or repair if any part <br /> of the replacement surfacing deviates more than 3/4" from the finished surface street grade <br /> or'/2" from a finished sidewalk grade. <br /> If upon reasonable notice, the permittee fails to restore and maintain the public way <br /> affected by the permittee's work, the City may perform the work and charge the cost to the <br /> permittee. If, in the judgment of the Maintenance Planning Manager, a hazardous or <br /> dangerous condition exists that affects the public health, safety and welfare, the notification <br /> requirement may be waived and the City may take necessary corrective action to remove <br /> the hazardous conditions and charge the costs thereof to the responsible party without <br /> prior notification. EC 7.308 (3) <br /> If more than one permittee has worked within the affected area, the Maintenance Planning <br /> Manager shall allocate the responsibility and cost #or restoration and maintenance. Factors <br /> to be considered in the allocation of responsibility include the nature of~the work each per- <br /> formed, the type of deterioration occurring, when each permittee performed work, the kind <br /> of equipment and construction techniques each used, and other such factors which may <br /> be deemed relevant.
