If the gas company shall have failed to restore the surface of the public properties to their original and proper condition upon the expiration of the time fixed by such permit or upon the completion of the work allowed to be done under such permit, the City Engineer shall, if he deems it advisable, have the right to do all work and things necessary to do so. The gas company shall be liable for the expense thereof upon the bond filed at the time of granting the permit, and the City shall have a cause of action for all fees, expenses, and amounts paid out upon such work; provided, that in any case, it shall be the duty of the gas company to guarantee and maintain the area disturbed for one year after returning it to its original condition; provided, further, that, if, in the judgment of the City Engineer, it is not expedient to relay the pavement over any cut or excavation made in any public properties upon the completion of the work allowed under such permit, by reason of the looseness of the earth or weather conditions, he may direct the gas company to lay a temporary pavement of wood or other suitable material designated by him over such cut or excavation, to remain until such time as the repair of the original pavement may be properly made, and in case of the failure of the gas company to commence in good faith the relaying of such temporary pavement within five days after the date of such notice, the City Engineer may lay such temporary pavement himself and collect the cost thereof from the party having such permit in the manner hereinbefore provided.
