When the developer has completed the required public improvements in a plan, the developer shall notify the Township Secretary 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
VII 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. Paper prints and an electronic
copy in CAD format acceptable to the Township of each as-built drawing
shall be submitted. 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 guarantee, the Board of Supervisors
shall have the power to enforce the performance guarantee by appropriate
legal and equitable remedies provided by the laws of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania. If proceeds from the performance guarantee are insufficient
to pay the cost of installing or making repairs or corrections to
all the improvements guaranteed by such performance guarantee, 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 guarantee 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 guarantee and not for any other municipal purpose.
The developer shall notify the Code Enforcement Officer at least 72 hours prior to initiating the installation of any of the private improvements. Upon completion of the private improvements, the developer shall request a final inspection by the Inspector. If deficiencies are found, the Code Enforcement Officer 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 Code Enforcement Officer shall issue a certificate of completion of site improvements which shall be prerequisite to release of the amenities bond and issuance of a certificate of occupancy under Chapter
350, Zoning.
Upon issuance of a certificate of completion of site improvements
by the Code Enforcement Officer, the Township shall release the amenities
bond. Approval by the Code Enforcement Officer of private improvements
for which an amenities bond has been posted and final release of that
amenities bond shall only indicate compliance with the specifications
shown on the approved subdivision or land development plan. Such approval
and release of the amenities bond shall not imply approval by the
Township of the method of construction or the structural integrity
of the private improvements, nor shall there be any liability associated
with or responsibility for maintenance of those private improvements
by the Township. A maintenance bond shall not be required to be posted
for private improvements as a condition of release of the amenities
bond.
