Inspection, Materials, Testing and Costs.

[Ord. No. 919 Art. XVIII]

All improvements, except electric, gas, private utility lines and telephone lines, shall be subject to the inspection and approval of the Municipal Engineer, and the Utilities Department shall do its own inspection.

The office of the Municipal Engineer shall be notified in writing at least 72 hours prior to commencement of any phase of the project.

No underground installation shall be covered until inspected and approved by the Municipal Engineer.

Where, in the opinion of the Municipal Engineer, materials shall be tested for conformance with specifications, the property owner or developer (in the case of a subdivision) shall be responsible for all costs charged by the testing agency selected by the Municipal Engineer.

The obligor shall reimburse the municipality for all reasonable inspection fees paid to the Municipal Engineer for the foregoing inspection of improvements: provided that the municipality may require of the developer a deposit for all or a portion of the reasonable anticipated fees to be paid to the Municipal Engineer for such inspection. 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. The initial amount deposited by a developer shall be 25% of the reasonably anticipated fees.

The Municipal Engineer shall not perform any inspection if sufficient funds to pay for those inspections are not on deposit.

Inspections shall be made by the Municipal Engineer at the following times as a minimum. The developer shall be responsible for notifying in writing the Municipal Engineer's office at least 24 hours in advance of each of the following stages or phases of each stage:

Changes in Plans; Final Approval.
