When the developer has completed the required public improvements in a plan, the developer shall notify the Township Manager or his/her authorized designee, in writing, by certified or registered mail and shall send a copy thereof to the Township Engineer. Within 10 days of the receipt of such notification, the Board of Supervisors shall authorize the Township Engineer to conduct a final inspection of the public improvements in the plan to determine compliance with the design standards specified in Article
IX of this chapter and the Township construction standards.
Upon completion of the public improvements in a plan, as-built
plans, profiles and calculations for 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. One print of each as-built
drawing shall be submitted to the Township Manager, and one print
of each as-built drawing shall be submitted to the Township Engineer.
In addition, a CD-ROM containing all the as-built drawings, in a digital
format acceptable to the Township, shall be delivered to the Township
Manager or his/her authorized designee. As-built plans and profiles
shall be marked "as-built" and shall contain the final grade of all
sanitary and storm sewers and appurtenances. Horizontal angles between
sanitary sewer manholes shall be shown.
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 performance bond, the Board of Supervisors
shall have the power to enforce the performance bond by appropriate
legal and equitable remedies provided by the laws of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania. If proceeds from the performance bond are insufficient
to pay the cost of installing or making repairs or corrections to
all the improvements guaranteed by such performance bond, the Board
of Supervisors may, at its option, install part of such improvements
in all or in 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 performance 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 performance
bond and not for any other municipal purpose.
The developer shall notify the inspector upon completion of the private improvements and shall request a final inspection. If deficiencies are found, the inspector shall notify the developer in writing. If the installation of private improvements has been satisfactorily completed in accordance with this chapter and the approved plan, the inspector shall issue a certificate of completion of site improvements, which shall be prerequisite to issuance of a certificate of occupancy under Chapter
245, Zoning, of the Code of the Township of South Strabane.
