Licensee, at no expense to the City, shall make proper provisions for the relocation and installation of any existing or future utilities affected by such Encroachment, use, and occupancy, including the securing the approval and consent of the appropriate utility companies and agencies of the State of Texas and its political subdivisions. In the event that any installation, reinstallation, relocation, or repair of any existing or future utility or improvements owned by or constructed by or on behalf of the public or at public expense is made more costly by virtue of the construction, maintenance, or existence of the Encroachment and use, Licensee shall pay to City an additional amount equal to such additional cost as determined by the Director of Transportation and Public Works or the Director of the Water Department, or their duly authorized representative. 4.
