These subdivision regulations shall apply to all infrastructure improvements within the Village and may be modified by the Village Board as needed, upon the advice of the Director of Public Works and/or the Village Engineer, to address changes in State of Illinois specifications, accepted construction industry standards, material or equipment preferences of the Village or for special identified situations or conditions. Any clause or language within an annexation agreement or development agreement which discusses locking in or freezing of codes, ordinances or standards of the Village shall not apply to these Standard Specifications for Improvements as long as they are applied equally to all infrastructure improvements within the Village. The Standard Specifications for Improvements that are in effect at the time of application for final plat approval are those that will govern unless approved otherwise by the Board of Trustees in conjunction with final plat approval.
All improvements constructed in the Village of Sugar Grove and within one and one-half (11/2) miles of its corporate limits shall be designed and constructed in accordance with these Standard Specifications for Improvements. In addition to the specifications contained herein, all of said improvements shall conform with: a) the Illinois Department of Transportation "Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction", latest edition; b) the current edition of "Standard Specifications for Water and Sewer Main Construction In Illinois"; c) the Illinois Urban Manual, latest edition; d) the Manual On Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways, latest edition; and e) the "Illinois Accessibility Code" latest edition, and all amendments to any of the cited references. These documents shall be considered part of the Village of Sugar Grove Standard Specifications for Improvements. In the case of a conflict between any part, or parts of the said specifications, the most stringent requirements shall apply. The Village Engineer, with the advice of the Director of Public Works and the Board of Trustees, shall be the sole judge when interpreting the Standard Specifications for Improvements.
All work performed under these specifications shall be done by qualified approved contractors and subcontractors familiar with the type of work to be accomplished. Prior to awarding any contract for work to be done under these specifications, the developer or general contractor shall furnish to the Village the names and addresses of the contractors and subcontractors as they become available.
The Village Engineer may, under special conditions, grant deviations within the intent of these specifications. Any changes in the approved plans must have prior approval in writing by the Village Engineer.
These specifications shall become a part of each and every project approved by the Village Engineer and all such approval signatures shall be conditioned upon these specifications unless noted otherwise.
The Village Engineer, or his representative, will, upon notice of improper material or installation practices, issue a written document to the developer, or his contractor, stating that failure to stop and correct such deficiencies will result in the Village's refusal to accept such improvements. If the work being performed causes an unsafe condition, the Village Engineer will issue a stop order. Failure to comply and eliminate the unsafe conditions will invoke the penalty clauses contained within this Code.
Contractors that have done unsatisfactory work within the Village of Sugar Grove will not be allowed to work within the public right-of-way. (Ord. 2018-02-20, 2-20-2018)
