No such department, board, agency or commission shall be required to issue any such permit, license or approval solely because this Ordinance has been enacted, it being the express intent of this Ordinance not to supersede any other provision of law governing the issuance of such permits, licenses or approvals. In addition, before exercising any rights and privileges under this Ordinance, Vincent and Barbara Termini shall enter into an agreement (“Agreement”) with the appropriate City department or departments, satisfactory to the Law Department, to provide that Vincent and Barbara Termini shall, inter alia:
(a) agree that upon one hundred and eighty (180) days notice from the City of Philadelphia, they shall remove the pedestrian scale light poles, luminaires and underground electrical service without cost or expense to the City when given written notice to do so by the City to accommodate a municipal or municipal sponsored construction project;

(c) secure all necessary permits, licenses and approvals from all appropriate departments, agencies, boards or commissions of the City as may be required by regulation or law. No such department, board, agency or commission shall be required to issue any such permit, license or approval solely because this Ordinance has been enacted;
(d) assume the costs of all changes and adjustments to, and relocation or abandonment of, City utilities and City structures wherever located as may be necessary by the reason of the construction of the pedestrian scale light poles, luminaires and underground electrical service;
(e) carry public liability and property damage insurance, co-naming the City of Philadelphia as an insured party, in such amounts as shall be satisfactory to the Law Department, or in lieu thereof, submit documentation in form and content acceptable to the City that Vincent and Barbara Termini are self-insured and are providing the City of Philadelphia the same coverage and benefits had the insurance requirements been satisfied by an insurance carrer authorized to do business in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania;
(f) insure that all construction contractors for the pedestrian scale light poles, luminaires and underground electrical service carry public liability and property damage insurance, naming the City of Philadelphia as an insured party in such amounts as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Law Department; and

SECTION 5. The permission granted to Vincent and Barbara Termini to construct, own and maintain the pedestrian scale light poles, luminaires and underground electrical service described in Section 1 shall expire without any further action by the City of Philadelphia if Vincent and Barbara Termini have not entered into an Agreement and satisfied all requirements of the Agreement that are listed in Section 3 of this Ordinance within one (1) year after this Ordinance becomes law.
