8.2.5 Acceptance of Improvements for Town Maintenance
(A) Inspection by Engineering Department
The installation of improvements shall
in no case bind the Town to
accept any such improvements for
public maintenance or operation thereof, until the Engineering
Department, in accordance with this section, has inspected and accepted
the improvements as
meeting all applicable requirements.
(B) Warranty Period Following Acceptance
The developer shall
notify the Engineering Department at the time that the improvements to
be maintained by the Town are
ready for inspection. If the Engineering Department determines that
the installed improvements meet
all applicable Town standards,
including those in the Town's Standard
Specifications and Details Manual, then a one-year warranty period
begins, during which the Town shall
provide routine maintenance of the improvements. Concurrent
with the Engineering Department's inspection of the improvements,
the developer shall
post cash in escrow or an irrevocable letter of credit in the amount from
the price schedule as determined by the Engineering Department. At
the end of the one-year warranty period, the applicant shall request the
Engineering Department to conduct a final inspection of the improvements for
acceptance by the Town. The
Engineering Department shall have 60 days after the date of such request
in which to either accept the improvements or
provide the applicant with a list of required repairs to the improvements.
No further building permits
or Certificates of Occupancy shall be issued for development on
the site until
all such repairs have been made. Upon acceptance of the improvements,
including any needed repairs to the improvements that
the Engineering Department shall deem necessary during any of its
inspections, the Town shall
accept full maintenance responsibility for the improvements and
shall release the bond or letter of credit. If the developer fails
to make such required repairs within six months, then the Town may
draw on the bond or letter of credit in order to perform the required
repairs itself.
