(a) The City Council determines by ordinance that the space ((used and)) occupied by the ((Permittee)) Use Area is necessary for any ((primary or secondary)) public use or benefit ((,)) or that ((Permittee’s use and occupancy)) the Use Area interferes with any ((primary or secondary)) public use or benefit (((a City determination that the space is necessary for a primary or secondary public use or benefit shall be conclusive or final))); or
(b) The City determines that use of the Use Area has been abandoned; or
(((b))) (c) The City determines that any term or condition of this ordinance has been violated, and ((such)) the violation has not been corrected by the Permittee by the compliance date after a written ((notice of the violation has been issued by the City and Permittee has had thirty (30) days to cure such alleged noncompliance)) request by the City to correct the violation (unless a notice to correct is not required due to an immediate threat to the health or safety of the public).

Section 5. Permittee’s obligation to remove and restore. ((In the event that)) If the permission ((hereby)) granted ((extends to its termination in thirty (30) years,)) is not renewed at the expiration of a term, or if the permission expires without an application for a new permission being granted, or if the City ((orders removal of Permittee’s use and occupancy pursuant to the terms of this ordinance)) terminates the permission, then within ((ninety (90))) 90 days after ((such)) the expiration ((,)) or termination ((or order of removal, or prior to the date stated in the “Order to Remove,” as the case may be)) of the permission, or prior to any earlier date stated in an ordinance or order requiring removal of the Use Area, the Permittee shall, at its own expense, remove ((its use and occupancy and shall place all portions of the space under the Fremont Bridge North Approach that may have been disturbed for any part of Permittee’s use and occupation,)) the Use Area and all of the Permittee’s equipment and property from the public place and replace and restore all portions of the public place that may have been disturbed for any part of the Use Area in as good condition for public use as ((it was)) existed prior to ((the use,)) construction of the Use Area and in at least as good condition in all respects as the abutting portions ((thereof. Whereupon, the Director shall promptly issue a certificate discharging the Permittee from responsibility under this ordinance for occurrences after the date of such discharge and such issuance shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)) of the public place as required by SDOT right-of-way restoration standards.
Failure to remove the Use Area as required by this section is a violation of Chapter 15.90 of the Seattle Municipal Code (SMC) or successor provision; however, applicability of Chapter 15.90 does not eliminate any remedies available to the City under this ordinance or any other authority. If the Permittee does not timely fulfill its obligations under this section, the City may in its sole discretion remove the Use Area and restore the public place at the Permittee’s expense, and collect such expense in any manner provided by law.
Upon the Permittee’s completion of removal and restoration in accordance with this section, or upon the City’s completion of the removal and restoration and the Permittee’s payment to the City for the City’s removal and restoration costs, the Director shall then issue a certification that the Permittee has fulfilled its removal and restoration obligations under this ordinance. Upon prior notice to the Permittee and entry of written findings that it is in the public interest, the Director may, in the Director’s sole discretion, conditionally or absolutely excuse the Permittee from compliance with all or any of the Permittee’s obligations under this section.
Section 6. Repair or reconstruction. The Use Area shall remain the exclusive responsibility of the Permittee and the Permittee shall maintain the Use Area in good and safe condition for the protection of the public. The Permittee shall not ((commence its use and occupancy of)) reconstruct or repair the Use Area except in strict accordance with plans and specifications approved by the Director. ((Permittee shall submit its plans and specifications to the Director and the Director shall review such plans in a timely manner.)) The Director may, in ((his/her)) the Director’s judgment, ((may)) order ((reconstruction, relocation, readjustment or repair of)) the Use Area reconstructed or repaired at the Permittee’s ((own)) cost and expense because of: the deterioration or unsafe condition ((s, grade separations, or)) of the Use Area; the installation, construction, reconstruction, maintenance, operation, or repair of any ((and all)) municipally-owned public utilities; ((,)) or for any other cause. ((, resulting from the Permittee’s use and occupation of the Use Area.))
Section 7. Failure to correct unsafe condition. After written notice to the Permittee ((,)) and failure of the Permittee to correct an unsafe ((or risk prone)) condition within the time stated in ((such)) the notice, the Director may order the Use Area be closed or removed at the Permittee’s expense if the Director deems that ((it)) the Use Area has become unsafe or creates a risk of injury to the public. ((In a situation in which)) If there is an immediate threat to the health or safety of the public, ((written)) a notice to correct is not required. ((, and the Director may summarily close the Use Area. In the event any such closure is the result of conditions or events beyond the control of the Permittee, then the current term of the permit shall be extended by the same number of days that the Use Area is closed.))
Section 8. Continuing obligations. Notwithstanding ((the)) termination or expiration of the permission granted, ((herein,)) or closure or removal of ((Permittee’s use and occupancy)) the Use Area, the Permittee shall remain bound by all of its obligations under this ordinance until ((: (i) the Use Area is cleared and restored in a manner and to a condition satisfactory to the Director; and (ii))) the Director ((certifies that Permittee has discharged its obligations herein, and such certification shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)) has issued a certification that the Permittee has fulfilled its removal and restoration obligations under Section 5 of this ordinance. Notwithstanding the issuance of that certification, the Permittee shall continue to be bound by the obligations in Section 9 of this ordinance and shall remain liable for any unpaid fees assessed under Sections 13A and 13B of this ordinance.

The Permittee, by ((acceptance of)) accepting the terms of this ordinance, ((and the permission hereby granted,)) releases the City, its officials, officers, employees, and agents from any and all claims, actions, suits, liability, loss, costs, expense, attorneys’ fees, or damages of every kind and description arising out of or by reason of the Use Area or this ordinance, including but not limited to claims resulting from injury, damage, or loss to the Permittee or the Permittee’s property.

((Provided that if)) If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 4.24.115 applies to this ordinance, then in the event claims or damages are caused by or result from the concurrent negligence of ((: (a))) the City, its agents, contractors, or employees; and ((, (b))) the Permittee, its agents, contractors, or employees, ((or its successors or assigns,)) this indemnity provision shall be valid and enforceable only to the extent of the negligence of the Permittee or the Permittee’s agents, contractors, or employees.

Evidence of current coverage shall be maintained on file with the City’s Risk Manager in the form of a copy of certification of property and liability insurance coverage, including an actual copy of the designated additional insured endorsement to the commercial general liability insurance policy or of the blanket additional insured wording forming a part thereof. Whenever in the judgment of the City’s Risk Manager, the coverage’s or limits of such insurance filed pursuant to the provisions hereof shall be deemed insufficient to fully protect the City, Permittee shall, upon written demand by the Risk Manager, furnish additional insurance in such amount as may be specified by the Risk Manager.))

Any failure by the City to require correction of any defect or condition shall not in any way limit the responsibility or liability of the Permittee.
