Any contractor or subcontractor used for the performance of excavation work in the public right-of-way shall be properly licensed pursuant to the laws of the state and all applicable local ordinances if required, and each contractor or subcontractor shall have the same obligations with respect to its work as a public utility right-of-way user would have pursuant to sections 67.1830 to 67.1846 and applicable laws if the work were performed by the public utility.
