All site improvements and utility installations for both site plans and subdivisions shall be inspected during the time of their installation under the supervision of the Borough Engineer to insure satisfactory completion. The cost of said inspection shall be the responsibility of the owner who shall deposit with the Borough Treasurer a sum of $500 or 5% of the cost of improvements, whichever is greater. These fees may, at the option of the developer be paid in two installments. The initial amount deposited by a developer shall be 50% of the reasonably anticipated fees. When the balance drops to 10% of the reasonably anticipated fees because the amount deposited by the developer has been reduced by the amount paid to the Borough Engineer for inspection, the developer shall pay the remaining 50% of the anticipated fees. For those developments for which the reasonably anticipated fees are $10,000 or greater, fees may, at the option of the developer, be paid in four installments. In the event of exceptional circumstances, the Board may require the deposit of an amount in excess of that set forth above for good cause shown.

In no case shall any paving work be done without permission from the Borough Engineer. At least two working days' notice shall be given to the Borough Engineer prior to any construction so that he/she or a qualified representative may be present at the time the work is to be started.

Streets shall not be paved with a wearing course until all heavy construction is completed. Shade trees shall not be planted until all grading and earth moving is completed. The seeding of grass and the placing of surveyor's monuments shall be among the last operations.

The Borough Engineer's office shall be notified prior to each of the following phases of work so that he/she or a qualified representative may inspect the work:

Any improvement installed contrary to the plan or plat approved by the Board not in compliance with the Borough Engineer, County and State jurisdictional approvals shall constitute just cause to void the municipal approval.

Minor adjustments to the plan may be authorized by the site plan committee and the Borough Engineer.

Any improvement installed without notice for inspection as cited hereinabove shall constitute just cause for:

Inspection by the Borough of the installation of improvements and utilities shall not operate to subject the Borough of Bound Brook or any of its officials or employees to liability for claims, suits or liability of any kind that may at any time arise because of defects or negligence during construction or at any time thereafter; it being recognized that the responsibility to maintain safe conditions at all times during construction and to provide proper utilities and improvements is upon the owner and his contractors, if any.

Upon substantial completion of all required street improvements (except for the top course) and appurtenant utility improvements, and the connection of same to the public system, the obligor may request of the governing body in writing, by certified mail addressed in care of the Municipal Clerk, that the Municipal Engineer prepare, in accordance with the itemized cost estimate prepared by the Municipal Engineer and appended to the performance guarantee pursuant to paragraph a., a list of all uncompleted or unsatisfactory completed improvements. If such a request is made, the obligor shall send a copy of the request to the Municipal Engineer. The request shall indicate which of the improvements have been completed and which improvements remain uncompleted in the judgment of the obligor. Thereupon the Municipal Engineer shall inspect all improvements covered by the obligor's request and shall file a detailed list and report, in writing, with the governing body, and shall simultaneously send a copy thereof to the obligor not later than 45 days after receipt of the obligor's request.
