8.15 Inspection of Construction and Facilities. <br />The City may, at its expense, inspect any of Grantee's Facilities or equipment in the public rights <br />of way at any time upon at least twenty-four (24) hours' notice, or, in case of emergency, upon <br />demand without prior notice. Grantee may participate in any such inspection. If an unsafe <br />condition is found to exist, the City, in addition to taking any other action permitted under <br />applicable law, may order Grantee, in writing, to make the necessary repairs and alterations <br />specified therein forthwith to correct the unsafe condition by a time the City establishes. The <br />City has the right, but not the obligation, to correct, inspect, administer and repair the unsafe <br />condition if Grantee fails to do so, and to charge Grantee therefor. The provisions of this <br />Section 8.15 shall survive the expiration, revocation, or termination of this Franchise. <br />8.16 Stop Work. <br />A. On notice from the City that any work is being performed contrary to the provisions of <br />this Franchise, or in an unsafe or dangerous manner as determined by the City, or in violation of <br />the terms of any applicable permit, laws, regulations, ordinances, or standards, the work may <br />immediately be stopped by the City by issuing a stop work order using the procedures <br />established by the Everett Municipal Code. <br />8.17 Work of Contractors and Subcontractors. <br />Grantee's contractors and subcontractors shall be licensed and bonded in accordance with the <br />City's ordinances, regulations and requirements. Work by contractors and subcontractors is <br />subject to the same restrictions, limitations and conditions as if the work were performed by <br />Grantee. Grantee shall be responsible for all work performed by its contractors and <br />subcontractors and others performing work on its behalf as if the work were performed by it, and <br />shall ensure that all such work is performed in compliance with this Franchise and other <br />applicable law, and shall be jointly and severally liable for all damages and correcting all damage <br />caused by them. It is Grantee's responsibility to ensure that contractors, subcontractors or other <br />Persons performing work on Grantee's behalf are familiar with the requirements of this <br />Franchise and other applicable laws governing the work performed by them. <br />8.18 Construction Bond. <br />A. Prior to commencing construction, Grantee shall provide an Assurance to ensure the <br />faithful performance of its responsibilities under this Franchise and applicable law, including, by <br />way of example and not limitation, its obligations to restore City streets and other property. The <br />amount of the Assurance shall be two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000), or such lesser <br />or greater amount as is comparable to that required of Telecommunication System providers in <br />the City for construction projects of comparable size, cost and complexity. Normally, the amount <br />of the Assurance shall not exceed 125% of the Permittee's estimated cost of the construction in <br />the public rights of way of the City. Grantee shall pay all premiums or costs associated with <br />maintaining the Assurance, and shall keep the same in full force and effect until the construction <br />of the Telecommunications System shall have been completed and all restoration of public and <br />private property shall have occurred regarding thereto. Thereafter, the Assurance shall be <br />exonerated, subject to the mutual written agreement of the parties. <br />21 of 30 <br />
