(a) All public improvements shown on the subdivision plats are the responsibility of the subdivider, unless otherwise expressly indicated, and shall be installed in accordance with this chapter.
(b) The subdivider shall be required to construct the public improvements prior to the recording of the final plat. In lieu of actual construction of the physical improvements, the subdivider may assure completion of construction by furnishing a financial guarantee in accordance with Section 1114.06 in an amount equal to the City Engineer's estimate of the cost of the construction of the physical improvements within the portion of the subdivision submitted for recording. Actual construction shall be as shown on the public improvement plans and in accordance with this chapter.
(c) Protection of Streets, Utilities, and Other Installations.
(1) The subdivider shall provide the City Engineer with a plan for the routing of construction equipment and traffic with the objective of alleviating any need to traverse adjacent off-site residential streets. In exceptional cases, where no reasonable alternative exists or can be provided, construction equipment may be permitted the use of collector streets for a predetermined time period. The contractor shall be permitted to operate only pneumatic-tired equipment over any paved street surfaces and shall be responsible for correction of any damage to street surfaces in any manner resulting from the contractor's operation. The City Engineer may permit non-pneumatic tired equipment in special circumstances with a Street Opening Permit per Section 901.02 of the Codified Ordinances.
(2) The subdivider and their contractors shall protect the pavement against all damage prior to final acceptance of the work, including damage created by the contractor's construction equipment and vehicles, as well as general traffic. As soon as curing and sealing are completed, the contractor shall clean the pavement free of all debris and construction equipment.
(3) The subdivider and their contractors shall at all times protect and mark all utilities constructed by the subdivider and their contractors until as-built drawings are submitted to and approved by the City Engineer.
(4) The subdivider and their contractors shall at all times take proper precautions for the protection of utility lines, the presence of which can be determined by contacting the Ohio Utilities Protection Service (OUPS). The subdivider shall be financially responsible for the repair of any damage to such utility lines.
