(A) Acceptance of streets and improvements is conditional, based upon a 15 month maintenance period which commences with the date of the beginning of actual construction of such streets and improvements. A maintenance bond running to the City Council is required to be written and accepted by the City Council at such time as the streets and improvements are accepted. The amount of the maintenance bond shall be one-tenth the estimated cost of the streets and improvements and shall be set by the City Engineer. At the end of the 15 month period, all of the accepted improvements being in satisfactory condition, the maintenance bond shall be released by the City Council.
(B) Final acceptance of all streets and improvement is the responsibility of the City Council.
(C) When the subdivider has completed the construction of the improvements he or she shall notify the City Engineer by letter (four copies) of this fact, and formally request a final inspection by said party or a duly designated deputy. In this letter he or she shall briefly describe all improvements and he or she shall enclose four copies of the subdivision plan which shows these improvements. No later than 14 days after receipt of this letter by the City Engineer he or she, or a duly designated deputy, shall make his or her inspection. The subdivider shall pay the cost of this inspection. The fee shall be established by the city, based on current rates and standard engineering practice.
(D) No later than seven days after inspection of the subdivision improvements, the subdivider shall be notified by the City Engineer in writing of the results of the inspection.
