Any person obtaining a permit for any of the purposes designated in Section 13.20.020 shall, before commencing work upon or in any manner changing the surface of the street, highway, avenue or alley, execute to the City a bond to be approved by the City Engineer, in such sum as shall be designated by the City Engineer as necessary for the proper protection of the City, conditioned that the obligors of such bond will pay to the City the amount of the bond, should the person obtaining such permit fail, neglect or refuse to complete the excavating, grading, paving, leveling, repairing, sidewalking, crosswalking or filling in the public street, highway, avenue, or alley for which such permit was obtained, within the time stated in the permit, or fail, neglect or refuse to restore the street, highway, avenue or alley in proper condition to the satisfaction of the City Engineer after the work provided for in the permit has been finished, and to keep the same in such condition for at least six months thereafter, reasonable wear thereof excepted, refilling any such excavation during such time, whenever and wherever it may sink or settle below the surface of the street, alley, sidewalk, highway, avenue or place, and without notice to do so from the City Engineer; provided, however, that instead of special bonds to cover particular work, any person intending to make excavations in public streets, alleys, or any public places in the City may make and maintain with the City a general bond in the sum of fifty thousand dollars, which general bond shall be conditioned and used for the same purpose as the special bond hereinbefore described in this Section, covering all work to be done instead of any particular piece of work; and while such general bond is maintained at the sum of fifty thousand dollars, such person shall not be required to make the special bond hereinbefore in this Section provided, but shall be required to comply with all the other provisions of this Chapter.
