(A) Before beginning the construction of any improvements, the subdivider shall receive from a Consulting Engineer, as may be engaged by the City Council on a case-by-case basis, a list of inspections required and shall comply with all rules, regulations, and instructions pertaining to such required inspections. The number and time of said inspections shall be determined by the Consulting Engineer after he or she has had an opportunity to study the size and complexity of the proposed subdivision, plat, or map. Regardless of the contracts, agreements, or inspections performed, responsibility for the supervision and inspection of the construction and installation of all improvements in accordance with these regulations shall rest with the developer.
(B) When authorized road, street, and drainage improvements have been constructed or installed and have passed the required inspections and the road authority having maintenance jurisdiction has previously indicated an intent to accept the same upon satisfactory completion, the streets, roads, and drainage improvements so intended shall be tendered by the developer to the applicable road authority for acceptance. The power to include or not to include non-municipal roads for public dedication shall be that of the township road commissioner, as applicable under state statutes. This power is not negated nor standards acceptable which are less restrictive than those herein contained, simply by City Council action approving such a plat or subdivision. All responsibility for streets and roads not so accepted for public dedication by the proper authorities remain the responsibility of the developer and his successors.
(C) The City Council may establish fees for the providing of inspections by the Consulting Engineer.
