§ A213-12. Construction requirements.

A. 

Restoration. In the event that the company or its agents shall disturb any pavement, street surfaces, sidewalks, driveways or other surfaces in the nature topography, the company shall, at it sole expense, restore and replace such places or things so disturbed in as good condition as existed prior to the commencement of said work.

B. 

Relocation. If at any time during the period of this consent the municipality shall alter or change the grade of any street, alley or other way or place, the company, upon reasonable notice by the municipality, shall at its expense remove, re-lay and relocate its equipment.

C. 

Temporary removal of cables. The company shall, upon request of the municipality, at the company's expense, temporarily raise, lower or remove its lines and/or equipment in order to facilitate the moving of buildings or machinery or in other like circumstances; provided, however, that if such request is occasioned or necessitated as a result of any nonmunicipal work or projects of any kind by a third party(ies), then and in such event, the cost and expense for the company to temporarily raise, lower or remove its lines and/or equipment to facilitate the moving of any buildings or machinery or in other like circumstances, shall be borne directly by such third party(ies).

D. 

Removal or trimming of trees. During the exercise of its rights and privileges under this franchise, the company shall have the authority to trim trees upon and overhanging streets, alleys, sidewalks and public places of the municipality so as to prevent the branches of such trees from coming in contact with the wires and cables of the company. Such trimming shall be performed only after approval by the Township Forester and only to the extent necessary to maintain proper clearance for the company wires and cables. The company will be allowed to trim trees without approval in emergency situations or where it may place the company in violation of other regulatory requirements.
