1113.03 CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURES.
(a) Notice. Prior to the start of any construction, the developer shall furnish the name and address of the engineer who will be in charge of the stakeout and grades and the contractor(s) to be hired for the project. The developer or his contractor shall give notice to the Public Works Director at least twenty-four hours in advance of each phase of construction, or when work is resumed after being suspended.
(b) Responsibility for Work. All construction shall be performed in the best and most workmanlike manner and shall be in accordance with the best accepted practice of the trade involved. The work shall be under the control and supervision of the subdivider at all times until written final acceptance is issued by the City. The subdivider shall be responsible for the movement of traffic over the work, for all suits, actions, claims of any character brought on account of any injuries or damage sustained by any person or property by or on the work, until the final date of acceptance. Completed portions of work that are damaged shall be rebuilt and corrected immediately. Suitable drainage of the roadway shall be provided at all times. The subdivider shall take whatever precautionary measures that are deemed necessary to protect all adjacent properties from damage or disruption due to drainage, mud, dust, rubbish, weeds or similar nuisances. The Public Works Director reserves the right to direct those measures necessary to remove such nuisances, to include dust abatement and the daily removal of mud and debris resulting from construction vehicles and equipment operating in or near the subdivision.
(c) Inspection. The Public Works Director and Public Utilities Director shall provide for inspection of all material used and all construction work. Such inspection may extend to all parts of the work. Inspection of construction of any utility may be done by representatives of the agency responsible for the utility, except that all backfill operations shall meet the requirements of these specifications, and shall be approved by an inspector representing the Public Works Director and Public Utilities Director. The contractor, upon request, shall furnish the Public Works Director and Public Utilities Director all information relating to the work and the material thereof, and with samples of the materials. The Public Works Director and Public Utilities Director shall have the authority to reject defective material and to suspend any work that is being improperly and/or unsafely done. Upon completion of all improvements except sidewalks, the developer shall submit a written request for final construction inspection. Immediately prior to termination of the one year maintenance period, the developer shall submit a written request for the final maintenance inspection and acceptance of the subdivision by the City. All sidewalks must be complete prior to the final maintenance inspection or secured by a sidewalk performance bond.
(d) Sequence of Construction. Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy in a new subdivision, all improvements necessary for the safety, health, and welfare of a prospective resident must be completed. This includes the construction of all sanitary sewers, water lines, storm sewers, drainage and sedimentation facilities, grading, streets, electric utilities, telephone utilities, and any other vital improvement. Before any occupancy of houses is permitted, the streets must have a minimum of one course of asphalt, but not the final course. The final course of asphalt shall be installed during the maintenance period. (Ord. 167-95. Passed 11-13-95.)
