Upon notice of City authorization to temporarily close, in whole or in part, a public street or to withdraw that public street from public use for a period of time, or upon a determination by the Department of Transportation that traffic control is required on a temporary basis due to anticipated congestion caused by a particular event (such as a commercial or ceremonial parade, street closure, athletic event, concert or festival) or upon a request to the Department of Transportation with respect to matters involving the use of streets, the Department may install, maintain, relocate, and/or remove parking and/or traffic control devices or provide traffic control, in a manner and at a level sufficient to protect the public safety, as determined by the Department. In providing such service the City shall be reimbursed for the costs of provision as follows: (a) In each such instance except as otherwise provided in Subsections (e) and (f), the Department of Transportation shall charge and collect the total costs of Departmental work, services, and materials provided in the case of: 1. Installation, maintenance, and removal, plus replacement for loss, or for repair of damage to any parking and/or traffic control devices, including, but not limited to, temporary signs; and 2. Placing, temporarily relocating, or removing permanent parking and/or traffic control devices. (b) Prior to the Department proceeding pursuant to any such request, the applicant requesting the installation, use, retirement from use, maintaining, relocation, removal or replacement of a parking and/or traffic control device or devices shall deposit with the City that sum estimated by the Department to be sufficient to reimburse the City for all City costs with respect thereto. The deposit may vary in amount depending upon the scope of the costs and expenses reasonably anticipated as necessary to provide the work, services, and materials to be used as a part of or for the regulation of parking and/or traffic in the area involved.
