A. The city will provide an inspector or inspectors on all new sanitary sewer construction within the city to ensure compliance with these rules and regulations and the specifications under which they are to be constructed. The inspector(s) will make diligent efforts to guard the city against defects and deficiencies in the work of the contractor(s) and to help determine if the provisions of these rules and regulations and the construction standards are being fulfilled. Day-to-day inspection will not, however, cause the city to be responsible for those duties and responsibilities which belong to the construction contractor and which include but are not limited to full responsibility for the techniques and sequences of construction and the safety precaution incidental thereto, and for performing the construction work in accordance with these rules and regulations and the construction standards.
B. The city will notify the local government agencies or person responsible for the construction when, in the opinion of the Superintendent of Public Works, the construction work does not comply with these rules and regulations. Upon receipt of notification from the city that any sewer construction work is not being performed in compliance with these rules and regulations and the construction standards therefor, the person shall immediately take actions as may be necessary to ensure compliance.
C. Each person shall inform the city a minimum of 10 but not more than 20 days in advance of the start of any sewer construction.
D. The city shall be reimbursed for the cost of providing inspection services by the person installing new sanitary sewers. The cost for inspection services shall be on a per-diem basis determined by the Superintendent of Public Works at the time the permit is issued to perform the work.
E. The construction of the sewers shall be under the supervision of the Superintendent of Public Works. At the completion of the construction, the Superintendent of Public Works shall certify, in writing, to the city that the construction complies with these rules and regulations and the plans and specifications therefor.
