(A) (1) After approval of the construction plans, the developer shall submit copies of all required state and local permits to the Plat Officer.
(2) The developer shall also submit where appropriate:
(a) Proof of application for an access permit from the County Highways Department or State Department of Transportation when access to county or state highway is involved;
(b) Proof of application for a § 404 permit and/or required state rivers, lakes and streams joint application permit (IEPA, IDNR, USACOE) if any dredging, riprapping, fill work or similar activities will be conducted in or around streams, wetlands, the 100-year floodway or jurisdictional waters; and
(c) Other specific additional information or permits as required by state, county or 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 developer to proceed with construction.
(C) The developer shall be ultimately responsible for the final location, elevation, quality and condition of all improvements and it shall be his, her or its 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 shall have his, her or its engineer 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 contractor’s/engineer’s name and signature as proof of review. Copies of all shop drawings shall be provided to the Village Engineer.
(D) The developer shall provide competent and sufficient engineering inspections so that the developer’s engineer can certify that all construction was completed substantially in accordance with the approved plans.
(E) (1) The developer or the developer’s engineer or contractor shall notify the Village Engineer at least 24 hours in advance of the following construction operations or as required by the Village Engineer.
(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;
(h) Surface course construction; and
(i) Exterior lighting systems.
(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 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;
(b) Sanitary sewer; air test, television test, lamping, visual, infiltration and deflection tests;
(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 an 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, flexoral strength, mix proportions, air content, slump and cylinder sample testing.
(G) All testing required by the Village Engineer shall be done by the developer at the direction of the Village Engineer. Copies of all testing media shall be issued to the owner and to the Village Engineer.
(H) Upon completion of construction and correction of defects, the developer shall submit a written request for approval of all development improvements, along with a certification by his or her engineer that all improvements were completed in accordance with the approved plans.
(I) The developer shall have his, her or its engineer prepare as-built record construction plans and submit one paper set and one electronic set to the village and the Village Engineer for their records. The electronic record drawings shall be provided in the form of an AutoCAD (latest version) drawing file. The subdivider shall also have his, her or its engineer provide a copy of the construction field notes to the village and Village Engineer.
