(A) (1) After approval of the construction plans, the subdivider shall submit copies of all required state and local permits to the Plat Officer.
(2) He or she shall also submit where appropriate:
(1) Proof of application for an access permit from the County Highway Department when access to county highway is involved;
(2) Proof of application for a § 404 and/or required state rivers, lakes and streams permit if any dredging, riprapping, fill work or similar activities will be conducted in or around streams, the 100-year floodway or jurisdictional water; and
(3) Other specific additional information as may be requested by the village.
(B) Upon receipt and approval of all required permits, the Plat Officer shall give written approval to the subdivider to proceed with construction.
(C) The subdivider shall be ultimately responsible for the final location, elevation, quality and condition of all improvements and it shall be his or her responsibility to employ competent contractors and engineers for this requirement. The condition of the improvements at the time of inspection shall be the basis upon which the improvements are rejected or conditionally accepted. The subdivider’s engineer shall request shop drawings from the contractor for all the materials and equipment to be installed. Shop drawings shall consist of complete descriptive literature on the equipment including all pertinent dimensions, material specifications, operation and maintenance data and performance curves and data. Prior to submittal to the Village Engineer, both the contractor and subdivider’s engineer will have reviewed the shop drawings and stamped them with the name and signature of the contractor and/or the engineer as proof of review. Copies of all shop drawings shall be provided to the Village Engineer.
(D) The subdivider shall provide sufficient engineering inspection so that the subdivider’s engineer can certify that all construction was completed substantially in accordance with the approved plans.
(E) (1) The subdivider or his or her engineer or contractor shall notify the Village Engineer at least 24 hours in advance of the following construction operations.
(2) Failure to notify the Village Engineer will be considered a violation of this chapter, subject to the penalties prescribed herein:
(a) Grading;
(b) Sanitary sewer construction;
(c) Storm sewer construction;
(d) Curb and gutter construction;
(e) Base course construction;
(f) Water main construction;
(g) Street light construction; and
(h) Surface course construction.
(3) Whenever construction stops for 24 hours or longer, the Village Engineer shall be notified 24 hours before construction begins again.
(F) (1) The Village Engineer shall periodically inspect the various stages of construction at his or her discretion and bring to the attention of the owner/developer (or on-site representative thereof) any dissatisfaction with materials or methods used in construction for remedial action. Testing will be required during construction in accordance with the applicable specifications with additional testing as may be required at the direction of the Village Engineer.
(2) Testing shall include, but not limited to:
(a) Grading; compaction tests, as requested by the Village Engineer for approval of subgrade prior to paving, moisture content, infiltration and deflection tests;
(b) Sanitary sewer; air test, lamping, television test, visual. For purposes of this division (F)(2)(b), the owner/developer is to provide a televised, internal pipe inspection of the entire sanitary sewer system using a color, closed circuit television inspection system specifically designed for use in sewer lines, the camera for which shall be equipped with a continuous display of the date, line section and distance counter to the nearest foot, and all such television inspections shall be recorded on two-hour digital files or digital video discs (DVDs) and shall be of such quality that joints, tees, pipe wall, sanitary sewer services and other appurtenances can be viewed easily;
(c) Storm sewer; lamping, visual;
(d) Portland cement concrete (PCC) curb, gutter, pavements and sidewalks; for each day in which ten cubic yards or more of concrete is poured, one set of four standard cylinders shall be cast. As a minimum, one slump test shall be made from the first load of concrete delivered to the site per day or each time compressive test cylinders are made and as often thereafter as the Village Engineer determines necessary. As a minimum, one air content test shall be made from the first load of concrete delivered to the site per day or each time compressive test cylinders are made and as often thereafter as the Village Engineer determines necessary. For miscellaneous concrete pours of less than ten cubic yards, certification shall be provided documenting that Class SI concrete has been supplied from a State Department of Transportation certified source. Slump and air content tests are not required for miscellaneous concrete pours of less than ten cubic yards;
(e) Base course; gradation, compaction test, cores, thickness;
(f) Water main; pressure test, visual, bacteriological tests;
(g) Bituminous pavement:
1. IDOT approved mix design including density, Marshall stability, flow, bitumen content, gradation, thickness and mix proportions;
2. A preliminary pavement testing plan showing the approximate locations for performing density tests shall be submitted to the Village Engineer prior to initiating paving activities;
3. For binder or base course and surface course, one density test shall be performed for every 500 feet of lane width paved and every fraction thereof, with a minimum of two tests per lane per day; and
4. Extraction reports detailing the properties noted in division (F)(2)(g)1. above, for each day of paving activity.
(h) Concrete pavement - thickness cores, flexural strength, mix proportions, air content.
(G) All testing required by the Village Engineer shall be done by the subdivider at the direction of the Village Engineer.
(H) Upon completion of construction and correction of defects, the subdivider shall submit a written request for approval of all subdivision improvements, along with a certification by his or her engineer that all improvements were completed in accordance with the approved plans.
(I) The subdivider shall have its engineer prepare record drawing plans and submit two paper sets and two electronic sets each to the village and Village Engineer for their records. The electronic record drawings shall be provided in the form of AutoCAD (latest version) drawing files. The subdivider shall also have its engineer provide a copy of the construction field notes to the village and Village Engineer.
(J) Upon the completion of the infrastructure improvements by the developer, and prior to conditional acceptance of the improvements by the village, the developer shall arrange with the village to pay for the expenses incurred by the village for street name signs that meet current requirements of the village. The village will perform the installation of the signs at the village’s expense. The expense for the signs shall be the actual cost of the signs, including posts, and other such materials required for a complete installation.
