(A) Inspections.
(1) It is the responsibility of the contractor or the developer to contact the Town Building Official one day in advance of the required inspections. In-progress inspections of all elements of work will eliminate the need for extensive post-testing.
(2) Any work or material which does not conform to town standards will be brought to the attention of the contractor or developer and, if immediate corrections are not made, construction may be stopped.
(3) The general types of inspections required are as follows:
(a) Culverts, storm sewer lines and appurtenances. Trenching, grade bedding, installation of pipe, backfill, and compaction. Inspection to be requested when backfill is completed to one-half the depth of culvert, or storm sewer line;
(b) Structures, including manholes. Finished excavation, grade, forming, reinforcing steel, concrete pour, finish and test cylinders. Inspections required:
1. Prior to placing steel; and
2. Prior to the concrete pour.
(c) Roadway. Subgrade, subbase, base course, prime, and paving to be called for at each completed stage. Locations of required field tests will be determined by the construction inspector;
(d) Final. A request for the final inspection and acceptance for maintenance or release from bond must be made in writing to the Town Engineer after all other inspections have been passed; and
(e) Water and sewer lines. All water and sewer lines shall be inspected by the appropriate district. All designs shall be submitted to the appropriate district and to the Town Engineer for review and approval.
(B) Testing. When required by the Town Engineer, a recognized testing firm shall certify to the quality of materials or construction. All testing shall be by recognized methods and shall be at the contractor’s, developer’s or owner’s expense.
(C) Developer’s warranty. The developer or owner shall be fully responsible for the maintenance and correction of any faulty construction, including unsuitable street cuts, chuckholes and storm sewer line blockages for a period of one year after the roads are accepted by the town.
