Street and stormwater management/drainage systems that are to be dedicated to the town and/or county for public maintenance shall be under warranty for all defects and failures for a period of three years. Prior to final plat approval, the developer shall provide written verification of financial responsibility for the correction of any defects and/or failures in those related improvements that will be dedicated to the town and/or county. The warranty (minimum 10% of the construction costs) shall be in a form satisfactory to the Public Works Director and effective for a period of two years after recording of the final plat. The Public Works Department shall maintain surveillance over the system and provide written notification to the developer if repair work is required during the warranty period. The Public Works Department shall identify defects not considered to be public safety and notify the developer of such defects. The developer shall then have 30 days to prepare a schedule of corrective actions and begin such corrective actions. If not complete with the approved schedule, the Public Works Department shall make the repairs and bill the bonding company. Public safety defects shall be addressed immediately by the Public Works Department, with reimbursement from the bonding company.
