§ 10.53.050. Liability.

A.

Injury, Death of Person, Damage to Property. The permit holder is responsible for all liability to, or death of person(s), or damage to property that may occur through any act or omission of either the permit holder or the city arising from the issuance of the permit. In the event any claim, suit or action is brought against the city, its officers, employees or agents thereof, by reason of, or in connection with any such act or omission, permit holder shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the city, its officers, employees or agents from such claim, suit or action.

B.

Repair of Damage. Any person, firm or agency granted an extralegal load permit, as provided in Section 10.53.040, shall be liable for all damages to any street, highway, bridge, or appurtenances thereto, including but not limited to, guardrails, signs, traffic signals, street lights, street trees and similar facilities, resulting from the operation, driving or moving of any vehicle which exceeds any of the limitations imposed by Division 15 of the California Vehicle Code. The permit holder agrees to repair at his/her own expense, and to the satisfaction of the Director, Public Works Agency, any damage resulting from travel under the permit.

C.

Modification to and/or Relocation of Structures. If, in the judgment of the Director, Public Works Agency, it is determined necessary to strengthen any structure over which an overload must pass, or to perform any other work in order to insure the safe passage of the load upon city streets, the permit holder will be required to pay the full cost of such work. The permit holder will also be required to reimburse the city for any cost necessitated by the temporary relocation of traffic signals, streetlights or other appurtenances in order to permit the safe passage of the loaded vehicle.
