ARTICLE VII: CONSTRUCTION, FINAL INSPECTION, AND CFA CLOSEOUT
§ 9-600 CONSTRUCTION NOTICE.
   For all construction activities in the right-of-way that impact traffic, the developer must provide notice to residences and businesses. The notice must be posted by the developer in the manner, form, and times proscribed by the city.
(Ord. 23656-05-2019, § 1, passed 5-7-2019, eff. 6-1-2019)
§ 9-601 FINAL INSPECTIONS.
   (a)   Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, a final inspection will not be scheduled until:
      (1)   The community facilities are fully constructed as determined by the construction inspector;
      (2)   All required material testing has been completed with a passing result and delivered to the construction inspector;
      (3)   Redline engineering sheets completed by the contractors showing differences between the engineering plans and the community facilities that have been constructed have been delivered to the construction inspector; and
      (4)   Compliance with the rules established by the transportation and public works department's construction office for obtaining a final inspection.
   (b)   Any deficiencies in or adjustments needed to the community facilities that are found by the construction inspector during a final inspection shall be listed on a punch list. Once all of the items on the punch list have been addressed and closed, a follow-up final inspection may be scheduled with the construction inspector.
   (c)   Once the construction passes final inspection, an acceptance letter is initiated by the construction inspector. The acceptance letter starts the closeout of the CFA and the process by which the city accepts and capitalizes the community facilities.
(Ord. 23656-05-2019, § 1, passed 5-7-2019, eff. 6-1-2019)
§ 9-602 REQUIREMENTS FOR PROJECT CLOSEOUT.
   The following items must be delivered to the city before a CFA can be closed out:
   (a)   An affidavit of bills paid and final lien waiver executed by the developer's contractors on forms provided by the city;
   (b)   Consent of surety forms for the payment and performance bonds executed by the surety company issuing the bonds; and
   (c)   Record drawings completed by the design engineer.
(Ord. 23656-05-2019, § 1, passed 5-7-2019, eff. 6-1-2019)
§ 9-603 ACCURACY OF RECORDS.
   (a)   The developer, the developer's contractors, and the design engineer must ensure that all changes to the record drawings have been made by making adequate and proper entries on each page of the specifications, each sheet of engineering plans, and on any other documents where such notations are required to reflect the change properly.
   (b)   All changes to the record drawings shall be made in a manner that all information contained in the record drawings may be reasonably relied upon.
   (c)   In order to ensure the accuracy of records, all redline changes or entries should be made within 24 hours after the changes have occurred.
   (d)   The developer, the developer's contractors, and the design engineer must provide factual information regarding all aspects of the community facilities that were constructed to enable future modifications of the community facilities to be made without extensive site measurement, investigation, or examination.
(Ord. 23656-05-2019, § 1, passed 5-7-2019, eff. 6-1-2019)
§ 9-604 RECONCILIATION.
   (a)   The development coordination office will reconcile the final actual construction costs with the costs reflected in the CFA.
   (b)   The development coordination office will reconcile the actual cost of administrative material testing service fees, construction inspection service fees, and water testing lab fees with the estimated fees paid by the developer. If the actual costs of the fees is more than the estimated payments made by the developer, the developer must pay the difference to the city before the improvements will be accepted by the city. If the actual costs of the fees is less than the estimated payments made by the developer, the city will refund the difference to the developer. If the difference between the actual costs and the estimated payments made by the developer for administrative material testing service fees, construction inspection service fees, and water testing lab fees is less than $50, the city will not issue a refund and the developer will not be responsible for paying the difference.
   (c)   If the developer owes the city administrative material testing service fees, construction inspection service fees, or water testing lab fees, the fees shall be paid before the financial guarantee can be released by the city. Any refunds for administrative material testing service fees, construction inspection service fees, or water testing lab fees owed by the city to the developer shall be processed after reconciliation of the CFA is complete.
   (d)   Once the CFA has been fully reconciled and all fees have been paid to the city, the financial guarantee for the CFA will be released.
(Ord. 23656-05-2019, § 1, passed 5-7-2019, eff. 6-1-2019)
