this Agreement, fails to fulfill any of the requirements of the Improvement Plans or this
Agreement, Developer shall, without delay and without cost to City, repair, replace or

if available, or granting permission to PG&E’s applicant or the applicant’s contractor to perform this work.
Additionally, in order to comply with California fire laws and safety orders, PG&E or its contractors will
periodically perform vegetation maintenance activities on your property as provided for in this grant of
easement in order to maintain proper clearances from energized electric lines or other facilities.
