(A) Inspection. All materials used to construct or install all public improvements must be inspected and approved by a competent testing laboratory at the developer's expense. Two copies of all reports of the testing laboratory shall be sent to the Village Engineer.
(B) The following items in connection with the installation of public improvements in the development of subdivisions are subject to inspection by an authorized village representative:
(1) Installation of sanitary sewers shall be inspected by the Metropolitan Sewer District including laying of trunk lines, laterals and service branches, construction of manholes and backfilling of trenches. All material shall be inspected and a certification of conformance to applicable specifications shall be furnished to the Village Engineer.
(2) Installation of storm sewers, including laying of pipe, construction of manholes, inlets and headwalls, and backfilling of trenches.
(3) Construction of culverts or other drainage structures.
(4) Construction of streets, including subgrade, placing of curb and gutter, laying of base courses and laying of surface courses.
(5) All concrete, asphalt, and aggregate materials shall be tested and inspected. Concrete shall be 4000 psi at 28 days with 5% + 0.5% entrained air. Four concrete test cylinders shall be made by a testing laboratory from each load of concrete. Test cylinders shall be tested at seven days and 28 days with reports furnished to the Village Engineer. Asphalt materials shall be inspected at the asphalt plant. Aggregate materials shall be inspected at the plant. Test reports for asphalt and aggregate materials shall be furnished to the Village Engineer.

Fire hydrants are subject to inspection by the Village Fire Department. Compaction of backfill over water line trenches is subject to approval by the village representative.
(D) All costs of inspection shall be borne by the developer. Designated village inspectors are not full-time village employees, but are contract inspectors whose entire earnings are paid from the inspection fund set up and maintained at the construction contractors' expense as a condition of the construction permit. These inspectors are paid an hourly rate for the time actually spent on inspection work on any subdivision. Time and one-half is allowed for work in excess of eight hours in any one weekday, or for work on Saturdays. Double time is allowed for work on Sundays or recognized holidays.
(E) It is the responsibility of the contractor to keep the inspector advised of the work schedule. Any work subject to inspection, performed and covered without the knowledge of the inspector, will, at the discretion of the inspector, have to be uncovered for inspection at the contractor's expense.
(F) Failure to notify the inspector at least one hour before starting time that no work subject to inspection is to be performed that day, will result in a minimum two-hour charge for show-up time.
(G) Inspection time reports turned in to the village office for payment should be signed by the contractor's representative on the job as an acknowledgment that the inspector has actually been on the job for the amount of time charged. It is also recommended that the contractor's representative keep a record of the inspection time charged so as to be able to check the status of the inspection fund at any time.
(H) In the event an inspector does not report to a job after being notified that work is to be performed, the Village Manager should be notified.

('69 Code, § 152.04(B)) (Ord. passed 9-13-54; Am. Ord. passed 4-14-58; Am. Ord. C-611, passed 2-9-87)
As a condition precedent to the approval of a subdivision plat, the subdivider must complete the improvements outlined in the plan or must give security for such completion. Reserving to itself the right to vary the arrangements in order to provide for security as the circumstances in individual cases may indicate, the Planning Commission sets out the following alternative plans for the giving of security in those cases where public improvements are not completed prior to final approval of the plat.
(A) If the subdivider has a contract with a contractor approved by the Village Manager, he may execute an agreement with the village under which he will furnish a bond or cash sufficient to cover the contract price, plus $500 or plus 10% of the contract price, whichever is the larger, and agree that such account may be drawn upon only by checks signed jointly by the subdivider and a co-signer designated by the Planning Commission. Such checks are to be issued only to the contractor for payments in accordance with the terms of his contract and upon certification by the Village Manager that performance has been had under the contract in accordance with its terms; for the payment of the expenses of the Commission in the preparation of the necessary contract; and repayment to the subdivider of any balance left in the account after the improvements have been completed, inspected, and approved by the Village Engineer, and the contractor and expenses paid in full. The agreement will further provide that if the contractor fails to comply with the contract, the subdivider shall have the privilege to substitute another contractor, but in the event of failure to do so or to have the improvements completed within a specified time, the village shall have the right to contract for the completion of the improvements and to draw upon the fund to the extent necessary to pay for such completion.
(B) If the subdivider has executed no contract for the making of improvements, he may enter into an agreement with the village by making a similar deposit in an amount equal to the cost of the improvement as estimated by the Village Manager, plus 15%, this deposit to be disbursed in the same manner as provided in division (A) above. The cost of the estimate shall be borne by the developer. When a contract is let, the deposit must be adjusted to equal that required in division (A) above.
(C) The subdivider may furnish a surety bond or certified check to the village in the amount of the estimated cost of the improvement plus 15%. That bond is to authorize the village to make the improvements if the subdivider has not had them completed within a specified time, and obligates the surety to pay to the village the cost of making such improvements, up to the extent of the amount of the bond. The subdivider's contract shall take the following form subject to such additional provisions or amendments as deemed necessary by the Planning Commission to adequately secure the construction of the improvements:
