I would say the street department and they will point you to the proper person.

Take pictures of the hole if possible - i got a flat tire from a hole that wasn't marked. Called the city, they connected me to whoever & they just said send the bill - didn't want the pictures. Best thing was they paid for 2, since they felt replacing 1 is unsafe

That hole was filled the next day. I'm not even sure if it was from the hole, but hey free tires & there was a big ass unmarked hole - some one needs to pay for mistakes.

...then get a written estimate and try using that.

Yep, I paid for the tires then sent the bill to the city hall. Then they sent a check in the mail.A written estimate may work, I would contact the city first.
