If, after examining such application and map, plans and specifications, the City Engineer approves the same and the bond and a workman’s compensation insurance certificate, if required, are filed, he may issue a permit therefor. Such permit shall specify the name and location of the public properties in front of, through, over, under or near which such acts are to be performed or done, together with a description of the proposed work or acts to be done under such permit, and the length of time allowed for the completion thereof. The permit shall require the repairing and restoring to as good or better condition and in compliance with the conditions and specifications of this chapter, of whatever portion of the public properties and/or private properties which may be obstructed, disturbed or affected in any way within a specified time. The acts and work authorized and/or required under such permit shall at all times be under the supervision and control of the City Engineer, or persons acting under his direction, but at the expense of the person procuring such permit. The City Engineer may in his discretion defer the granting of the permit herein before provided for until such time as he deems proper in all cases in which the public properties where the work desired to be done is occupied or about to be occupied in any work by the City or by some other person having a right to use the same in such manner as to render it seriously inconvenient to the public to permit any further obstruction thereof at such time. He may in granting such permit so regulate the manner of doing such work as shall cause the least inconvenience to the public in the use of such public properties, and in all cases any work of the City or its contractors or employees shall have precedence over all work of every kind.
