The developer shall notify the inspector by certified mail at
least 72 hours prior to beginning any installation of public improvements
in an approved plan. The inspector shall prepare a written report
of all inspections in duplicate on forms provided by the Township.
One copy shall be retained by the Township and one copy shall be retained
by the Township Engineer.
When the developer has completed the required public improvements in a plan, the developer shall notify the Township, in writing, by certified or registered mail. Within 10 days of the receipt of such notification, the Board of Commissioners shall authorize the Township Engineer to inspect the public improvements in the plan to determine compliance with the design standards specified in Article
VIII of this chapter and the Township Public Improvements Code.
Upon completion of the public improvements in a plan, as-built
plans and profiles of the public improvements, as constructed, shall
be filed with the Township by the developer within 10 days of the
mailing of the notice of completion.
In the event that the public improvements required to be installed
by the provisions of this chapter are not installed in accordance
with the requirements of this chapter or the approved final plat prior
to the expiration of the completion bond, the Board of Commissioners
shall have the power to enforce the completion bond by appropriate
legal and equitable remedies provided by the laws of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania. If proceeds from the completion bond are insufficient
to pay the cost of installing or making repairs or corrections to
all the improvements guaranteed by such completion bond, the Board
of Commissioners may, at its option, install part of such improvements
in all or part of the subdivision or land development and may institute
appropriate legal or equitable action to recover the moneys necessary
to complete the remainder of the improvements. All of the proceeds,
whether resulting from the completion bond or from any legal or equitable
action brought against the developer, or both, shall be used solely
for the installation of the improvements guaranteed by such completion
bond and not for any other municipal purpose.
Approval of common amenities for which a completion bond has
been required and final release of the completion bond shall only
indicate compliance with the specifications shown on the approved
plan. Such approval and release of completion bond shall not imply
approval by the Township of the methods of construction or the structural
integrity of the common amenities, nor shall there be a liability
associated with or responsibility for maintenance of those common
amenities by the Township. A maintenance bond shall not be required
to be posted for common amenities.
