[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village
of New Hempstead 8-15-1985 by Res.
No. 85-185; amended 4-10-1986 by Res. No. 86-115. Subsequent amendments
noted where applicable.]
It is the purpose of these specifications to establish minimum
acceptable methods of street construction, including widths and development
of right-of-way, paved roadway, storm drainage and other utilities
in the Village of New Hempstead. Dedication of the right-of-way will
not be acceptable until the Village Engineer shall have certified
to the Village Board that the development of the street has been completed
in accordance with the approved plans and the specifications which
follow.
A plan of the proposed street shall be prepared by a qualified
engineer properly licensed by the State of New York or a land surveyor
possessing a proper exemption certificate issued by the State of New
York Education Department. The plan shall clearly define the limits
of the proposed right-of-way and shall include the location, width,
profile and grades of proposed roadways, storm drainage, including
culverts and other drainage structures, and the location of easements
and utilities. The plan shall be submitted to the Town Superintendent
of Highways and/or to the County Superintendent of Highways when any
street drains toward or connects to a county highway or town road
and to the Village Planning Board for review and approval under the
applicable Subdivision Regulations of the Village.[1] Such plans so submitted shall not be altered or amended
after having been approved by the Planning Board, except after amended
plans have been resubmitted and approved as above. However, the developer
shall, at his own expense, provide additional storm drainage facilities
as may be ordered by the Town Superintendent of Highways, the County
Superintendent of Highways or the Village Engineer where such additional
structures or facilities are necessary to assure the durability of
pavement and future maintenance of the right-of-way.
A.
The developer's engineer/surveyor shall establish and clearly
mark on the site the limits of the right-of-way, the center line and
grades of the roadway and the location and elevation of the drainage
structures. Such markers shall be maintained at the developer's
expense until construction of the roadway, drainage, curbs and shoulders
has been completed and approved by the Village Engineer.
B.
The entire width of the right-of-way shall be cleared and shaped
to the grades and elevations established by the approved plan and
as approved by the Planning Board. Trees of aesthetic value located
at least five feet from the paved roadway may be allowed to remain.
All rock and boulders larger than six inches in diameter shall be
excavated six inches below the finished subgrade of the roadway. All
topsoil or otherwise soft or unstable material shall be excavated
from within the road area and shall be replaced with suitable borrow.
Fill required to complete the approved grades shall be acceptable
to the Village Engineer, and unsatisfactory materials shall be removed
from the site by the developer.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
C.
Where fills are necessary to complete the required line and grade
or to backfill trenches or other excavations, the materials incorporated
in the work shall be acceptable to the Village Engineer and shall
be placed in layers not exceeding eight inches in depth, each layer
to be thoroughly compacted by rolling with three-wheeled sheepsfoot,
pneumatic-tired or padded-wheel roller or by impact rammer or vibrator
equipment in areas inaccessible to power rollers. All compaction shall
continue until the fills are firm and unyielding. Adequate compaction
is considered to be 95% of the standard proctor maximum density.
D.
The rough grade of the road pavement, curb and sidewalk areas shall
be completed to within one inch below but not above the finished subgrade
as shown on the approved cross section of the right-of-way improvement.
E.
Earth shoulders and the flow line of ditches and gutters shall be
maintained in satisfactory condition, at the developer's expense,
at all times during the course of construction of the subdivision
and until such time as the Village Board has accepted dedication of
the right-of-way.
A.
Soil erosion and sediment control measures shall be constructed and
maintained by the developer during the entire course of development
of the streets and public easements in accordance with the guidelines
for erosion and sediment control in urban areas of New York State
developed by the United States Department of Agriculture, Natural
Resources Conservation Service.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
B.
An erosion and sediment control plan shall be made a part of the
construction plans for the streets and easements, showing locations
of proposed diversion berms and sediment basins. All such berms and
basins shall be in place prior to the grading operation and the installation
of utilities and shall be maintained until construction is completed
and/or the area is stabilized. Sediment basins shall be cleaned when
the trap is 50% full of sediment.
C.
Soils to be stockpiled should be located so as not to obstruct natural
drainage or cause off-site sediment problems. Stockpiled soil will
be established to temporary vegetative cover when exposed for a period
of more than one month.
D.
All disturbed areas shall be limed and fertilized to soil test recommendations
such as those offered by the Cornell University Extension Service
prior to both temporary and permanent seeding. Disturbed areas, including
road banks, shall be maintained in a rough-graded condition and temporarily
seeded and/or mulched until proper weather conditions exist for the
establishment of permanent vegetative cover.
E.
All storm drainage inlets are to be temporarily capped and protected
by a filter to prevent entry of sediment carried by runoff water until
vegetation and/or paving is established as planned.
F.
Prior to the construction of curbs, diversion berms shall be graded
and maintained on a daily basis at one-hundred-foot to three-hundred-foot
intervals, depending on slope, across roadways, directing runoff to
undisturbed areas or sediment traps. After the construction of curbs
and prior to paving, berms shall be graded and maintained on a daily
basis at each catch basin, directing runoff into the catch basin through
a sediment filter. Easement areas for utility pipes shall have similar
berms which should remain permanently, if appropriate. Easement areas
shall be graded and stabilized immediately after the installation
of pipes and structures.
A.
Storm drains draining areas up to 50 acres shall be designed on the
basis of a twenty-five-year average frequency of rainfall. For areas
of 51 acres to 200 acres, a fifty-year storm shall be used, and for
areas greater than 200 acres a one-hundred-year storm shall be used.
The stormwater runoff drain shall be of the type and size designed
and shall be constructed to the prescribed lines and grades at the
approved locations. The minimum grade of any drainage pipe shall be
1% unless it can be adequately demonstrated that a lesser grade is
absolutely necessary. The minimum pipe size shall be 15 inches in
diameter.
B.
The storm drain pipe shall be corrugated metal pipe or reinforced
concrete pipe meeting New York State Department of Transportation
specifications.
C.
Catch basins or manholes shall be provided at all points of change
of slope or alignment and at all junction points. At no time shall
catch basins be spaced farther than 300 feet apart. In areas of steep
slopes or where large amounts of water may collect in road gutters,
additional basins may be required.
D.
Concrete headwalls shall be provided at the inlet or outlet of any
storm drain at a drainage channel. The headwall may be straight, L-shaped
or U-shaped, as is most appropriate for the given situation. The shape
of the headwall shall be shown on construction plans, and its details
shall be in accordance with the standard details shown in these specifications,
unless conditions warrant a special design, which shall be shown as
part of the construction plans in detail.[2]
[2]
Editor's Note: The standard details and drawings are
included in an attachment to this chapter.
E.
Precast concrete or prefabricated metal end sections may be used
where appropriate conditions exist. Depending on flow conditions,
a cutoff wall 2 1/2 feet in depth anchored to the end section
may be required.
F.
Riprap or stone fill shall be placed at all headwalls for a sufficient
length and height to adequately provide for transition of ground slopes
and water velocities to prevent erosion.
A.
With the approval of the Planning Board, open ditches may be used
in lieu of storm drainpipes when the grade of the land traversed is
flat or when it is desirable to drain and dry up the surrounding area.
B.
Open ditches shall be constructed in accordance with the illustration
in these specifications, but in no case shall the grade of an open
ditch exceed 3%. Riprap, when called for, shall consist of field stone
or rough, unhewn quarry stones, as nearly cubical in form as possible,
placed upon a slope not steeper than one vertical to two horizontal
and so laid that the weight of the large stones is carried by the
soil and not by the stone adjacent. All stones shall weigh between
50 pounds and 150 pounds each, and at least 60% of them shall weigh
more than 100 pounds each.
C.
The larger stones shall be placed first, roughly arranged and in
close contact. The spaces between the larger stones shall be filled
with spalls of suitable size.
A.
The width of the trench in which the pipe is placed shall be sufficient
to permit thorough tamping of the backfill under the haunches and
around the pipe. Where rock in either boulder or ledge formation is
encountered, it shall be removed below grade and replaced with suitable
materials in such a manner as to provide an earth cushion having a
thickness under the pipe of not less than eight inches; and where
there are excessively heavy fills over the top of the pipe, the Village
Engineer may specify that an earth cushion up to 1/2 inch in thickness
per foot of fill be placed over the top of the pipe. In no case shall
the top of any drainage pipe be less than 18 inches below the finished
grade of the pavement. Where soft, spongy or other unstable soil is
encountered at the grade established, all such unstable soil under
the pipe and for a width of one diameter on each side of the pipe
shall be removed and replaced with run-of-bank gravel or other acceptable
material. In all cases the bed shall be thoroughly compacted and shall
provide a firm foundation for the pipe.
B.
Pipe shall be laid to true line and grade on the prepared bed of
the trench. All connections for making field joints in corrugated
metal pipe shall consist of corrugated metal bands so constructed
as to lap on equal portions of each of the culvert sections to be
connected. All joints in making field connection of reinforced concrete
pipe shall be filled with portland cement mortar.
D.
Any additional drainage facilities not shown on the approved plan
and which may be ordered by the Village Engineer shall be constructed
by the developer at the developer's expense and in accordance
with these specifications.
E.
Catch basins and manholes shall be constructed in accordance with
the standard drawings in these specifications, utilizing materials
and methods in conformance with current New York State Department
of Transportation specifications. Particular care shall be exercised
in backfilling around completed structures to obtain maximum compaction
by the use of mechanical tamping equipment in order to avoid pavement
settlement. Pipes shall be trimmed in a workmanlike manner flush with
the inside walls of structures, leaving no rough edges which would
endanger maintenance personnel.
Excavation and backfilling for underground utility pipes and
cables shall be done in strict conformance with the requirements outlined
above for storm drain construction. All utilities shall be placed
prior to the paving of new roadways.
If there are no sidewalks, shoulders and slopes to complete
the balance of the right-of-way shall be at least 10 feet wide and
shall be graded to meet the finished elevation of curbs or gutters
on a slope of 1/2 inch per foot for a distance of five feet from the
edge of the curb or gutter and thence on a slope of not more than
one vertical to two horizontal to the limits of the right-of-way,
both in cut and fill. Exceptions to these requirements, where rock
or other conditions exist, may be approved by the Village Engineer.
On any fill section where the elevation of the shoulder is five feet
or more above that of the toe of the slope, the developer shall provide
guide railing on the shoulder as approved by the Village Engineer.
Shoulders and slopes shall be dressed, topsoiled and seeded by the
developer.
A.
Before fine grading or construction of curbs and sidewalks is started,
all storm sewers and sanitary sewers and all utilities, including
house connections and hydrants, shall have been thoroughly compacted
to the satisfaction of the Village Engineer.
B.
After completion of the rough grade and prior to the laying of the
foundation course, the subgrade shall be shaped to line and grade
and thoroughly compacted with an approved self-propelled roller weighing
not less than 10 tons. All hollows and depressions which develop under
rolling shall be filled with acceptable granular material and again
rolled, this process to be continued until no depressions develop.
The subgrade shall not be muddy or otherwise unsatisfactory when the
foundation course is laid upon it.
C.
Any soft or unstable portions of the subgrade which develop under
the roller shall be completely excavated and removed from the right-of-way
and shall be replaced with acceptable granular material and the area
regraded and compacted as above.
D.
Fine grade shall conform to the prescribed width of pavement and
shall extend equidistant from the center line of the road right-of-way
and shall conform to the typical cross section of the road pavement
and to the approved line and grade.
B.
The materials and methods of mixing bituminous pavements shall conform to the New York State Department of Transportation specifications on the Composition of Bituminous Plant Mixtures Table, included as an attachment to this chapter.
C.
Pavement shall only be placed on an approved dry subgrade. Before
the paving operations start, the surface temperature must be:
D.
The surface of any existing pavement shall be cleaned, the joints
and cracks filled and the surface leveled to a uniform grade and cross
slope in areas designated by the Village Engineer prior to the application
of a new bituminous course.
E.
If, in the Village Engineer's opinion, a tack coat of bituminous
material is needed on old bituminous pavement prior to the placement
of the new bituminous mixture, the contractor shall place such material.
The tack coat shall meet the New York State Specifications, Section
407.
F.
Unless otherwise stated by the Village Engineer, paving operations
shall be halted if adverse weather conditions occur.
G.
The mixture shall be transported from the mixing plants to the worksite
in tight vehicles having clean, smooth metal beds. Each load shall
be covered with canvas or other suitable materials of such size as
to protect the mixture from the weather. The inside surface of the
vehicles used for the transportation of plant mixes shall be lightly
coated, just before the vehicles are loaded, with either a whitewash
of lime and water, soap solution or detergents, as approved by the
Village Engineer, or fuel oil applied by a high-pressure fog system.
After application, the truck bodies shall be raised for a sufficient
time to allow the excess fluid to drain.
H.
The asphalt shall be placed at the temperatures shown on the Composition of Bituminous Plant Mixtures Table of the New York State Department of Transportation, included as an attachment to this chapter.
I.
Bituminous pavers shall be self-powered units provided with an activated
screed or strike-off assembly. The machine shall be capable of spreading
and finishing courses of bituminous plant mix material in lane widths
applicable to the specified typical section and thicknesses shown
on the plans. The paver shall have a receiving hopper with sufficient
capacity for uniform spreading operation and with automatic flow controls
to place the mixture uniformly in front of the screed. The screed
or strike-off assembly shall be heated as necessary to produce a finished
surface of the required evenness and texture without tearing, shoving
or gouging the mixture. When laying mixtures, the paver shall be capable
of operating at forward speeds consistent with the satisfactory placement
of the mixtures.
J.
The bituminous paver shall be at the jobsite sufficiently ahead of
the start of the paving operations to be examined and approved by
the Village Engineer. Any paver found worn or defective either before
or during its use shall be immediately repaired to the satisfaction
of the Village Engineer or replaced.
K.
Approved bituminous pavers shall be used to distribute the mixture
either over the entire width or over such partial width as may be
practicable. Placing of the mixture shall be continuous at a desired
rate of not less than 50 tons per hour. The Village Engineer may permit
a lesser rate if satisfactory results are achieved. Upon arrival at
the site, the mixture shall be dumped into the paver and immediately
spread and struck-off to the width required and to such appropriate
loose depth that, when the work is completed, the required thickness
will be obtained.
L.
In areas too small for or inaccessible to a paver, the course may
be spread by band methods as directed by the Village Engineer.
M.
Binder and top courses shall be placed in such a manner as to overlap
the joints formed by two paving passes being made side by side in
the preceding course.
N.
Immediately after the bituminous mixture has been spread, struck-off
and surface irregularities adjusted, it shall be thoroughly and uniformly
compacted by rolling. All courses shall be initially rolled with the
roller traveling parallel to the center line of the pavement, beginning
from the outside edge towards the roadway's center line.
O.
Rollers shall move at a slow and uniform speed. Any displacement
occurring as a result of the reversing of the direction of a roller
or from other causes shall be corrected at once by the use of rakes
and the addition of fresh mixture as required. To prevent adhesion
of the mixture to the rollers, the wheels shall be kept properly moistened
with water or water mixed with small quantities of detergent or other
approved material, but in no case shall a solvent having an effect
upon the bituminous pavement be used. Suitable means shall be provided
to keep pavers and other equipment and tools free from bituminous
accumulations. The surface of the pavement shall be protected from
drippings of oil, kerosene or other materials used in paving and cleaning
operations.
P.
The contractor has the choice of three options for compacting bituminous
mixtures.
(1)
The contractor may use a vibratory roller for compaction. This
roller must make two vibrating passes and two static passes and operate
at a uniform speed that does not exceed 2 1/2 miles per hour
(200 feet per minute).
(2)
The contractor may use a ten-ton tandem roller for compaction,
but the number of passes will be determined by the Village Engineer.
(3)
The contractor may use any method agreed upon by the Village
Engineer.
Q.
Any mixture that becomes loose and broken, mixed with dirt or is
in any way defective shall be removed and replaced with fresh hot
mixture. This shall be compacted to conform to the surrounding areas.
Any area showing an excess or deficiency of bituminous material shall
be corrected to the satisfaction of the Village Engineer.
R.
The thickness of pavement may not vary more than 1/4 inch for any
type of mixture less than four inches thick. Any type of mixture four
inches or more thick shall not exceed a tolerance of 1/2 inch. The
surface of any mixture shall not vary more than 1/4 inch from the
proposed pavement height.
S.
Any joint in a pavement layer shall be formed in such a manner as
to expose the full depth of the course for the next run. Whenever
existing pavement edges have become ragged, they shall be scored and
cleared so that there is a neat, straight vertical edge.
T.
Along forms, curbs, headers, walls and other areas not accessible
to the rollers, a hand tamper or any other device agreed to by the
Village Engineer may be used to compact the pavement material.
U.
On depressed areas (trenches, etc.), a trench roller or small vibratory
roller or any other method approved by the Village Engineer may be
used to compact new pavement.
V.
Delivery tickets showing the date, the name of the producer, the
name of the project, the type of mix and the weight of the delivered
material are to be supplied to the Village Engineer for all asphalt
concrete installed on a particular project.
W.
All manholes, valve covers, etc., are to be carefully adjusted to
final grade and adequately covered prior to the final paving to prevent
clogging or burial by the final course.
A.
Portland cement concrete curbs shall be constructed on both sides
of the street to the dimensions and specifications shown on the standard
detail.[1] The minimum compressive strength of the concrete shall
be 4,500 pounds per square inch in 28 days. The concrete shall be
finished and cured to the satisfaction of the Village Engineer in
accordance with the general specifications for concrete found elsewhere
in these specifications.
[1]
Editor's Note: The standard details and drawings are
included in an attachment to this chapter.
B.
The developer shall, at his own expense, replace any curbing which
proves defective or which is damaged by his operations before the
road is dedicated to the Village.
A.
The developer shall construct four-inch-thick reinforced portland
cement concrete sidewalks at a minimum width of four-foot-long sections
placed on a four-inch (compacted thickness) base of 3/8-inch to 3/4-inch
crushed stone or washed gravel, washed sand or selected granular fill.
Prior to the placement of the base stone, the subgrade shall be thoroughly
compacted with the largest practical roller or vibratory compactor
to the satisfaction of the Village Engineer. Roots, stumps, stones
over six inches in diameter or soft or wet earth are not permitted
in the subgrade. Particular attention shall be paid to the compaction
of utility trenches. The sidewalk reinforcement shall be No. 6 gauge
six-inch-by-six-inch steel mesh placed two inches from the bottom
of the sidewalk slab. Construction joints having 1/4-inch cellulose
or similar material shall be placed at twenty-foot intervals. The
edges shall have a 1/4 radius.
B.
The concrete slabs in driveway ramps and sidewalks under driveways
shall be six inches thick.
C.
The concrete in sidewalks shall have a minimum compressive strength
after 28 days of 4,500 pounds per square inch and shall be placed
in accordance with the general specifications for concrete found elsewhere
in these specifications.
B.
Concrete properties.
(1)
All concrete shall have a minimum cement factor of 705 pounds
(7.5 sacks) per cubic yard and shall attain a minimum compressive
strength of 4,500 pounds per square inch in 28 days. Air entrainment
shall be 6%, plus or minus 1%.
(2)
The concrete shall be placed at a maximum slump of four inches.
(3)
Ready-mixed concrete conforming to ASTM C-94 shall be used on
all work unless otherwise permitted by the Village Engineer.
(4)
Discharge of the concrete shall be completed within 1 1/2
hours after the introduction of the mixing water to the cement and
aggregate or the introduction of the cement to the aggregates.
C.
Placing and curing concrete.
(1)
Water is to be removed from excavations.
(2)
Forms shall be coated with an approved form oil.
(3)
Thoroughly predampen all subsoil before placing concrete.
(4)
Deposit concrete in its final position, as nearly as possible,
to avoid segregation.
(5)
All concrete shall be consolidated by internal vibration or
spading.
(6)
Upon removal of the forms and/or final finishing, all concrete
curbing, gutters and sidewalks shall be sprayed with one coat of curing
compound and covered with damp burlap for 48 hours minimum. The contractor
shall submit samples and manufacturer's specifications for approval
of the compound. The compound shall be delivered in containers with
the seals unbroken and stored in a dry place. The curing compound
shall conform to Type 1-D liquid compound with fugitive dye, conforming
to ASTM C-309, and shall be applied at the manufacturer's recommended
rates.
(7)
Concrete for curbs, gutters and sidewalks placed between October
1 and April 1 should not be subjected to deicing salts for a period
of at least six months. If this cannot be avoided, the concrete should
be protected by additional application of curing compound or other
sealer to seal the surface as thoroughly as possible from penetration
of salt brine during the freeze-thaw cycle.
(8)
Concrete not to be subjected to deicing salts but placed during
cold weather must be heated to a minimum of 60° F. and rising
and protected for 72 hours at 50° F. to prevent freezing. It shall
not be placed on frozen base.
(9)
Final finishing must be delayed until water sheen has disappeared
from the surface; do not work bleed water into the surface; do not
dust with cement to soak up excess surface water; do not add water
to the surface or overwork the surface. Brooming should be delayed
until the concrete surface has stiffened sufficiently to permit the
desired texturing.
(10)
Finished concrete shall be sealed after curing by applying two
coats of boiled linseed oil thinned with mineral spirits. The concrete
surface must be completely dry before application. It is recommended
that the first coat be applied 90 days after the pour and the second
coat one year after the pour. A deposit with the Village must be made
in lieu of the second coat if the developer offers dedication of the
street prior to the application of the second coat.
After the wearing course of pavement has been placed, monuments
shall be placed in the road center line at each point of curvature,
point of intersection, point of tangency and at center-line intersections
of intersecting streets, Monuments shall be railroad spikes or similar
iron devices at least six inches long with one-half-inch minimum square
shanks and one-inch minimum diameter heads. Reference ties from at
least three permanent locations (house corners, preferably) shall
be recorded. The surveyor shall prepare a certified map showing the
locations of the monuments and reference ties and file two copies
with the Village Engineer, who shall submit the same to the Planning
Board for its determination as to sufficiency by holding a hearing.
If the Planning Board finds this map sufficient, it shall then be
filed with the Village Clerk. These monuments are in addition to the
monuments required on the right-of-way line by the Planning Board
as part of the subdivision approval.
Upon completion of the public improvements, the surveyor shall
prepare a survey map of the street(s), showing as-built elevations
of the street center line; top-of-grate and invert elevations of all
storm drains and sanitary sewers; sizes, locations and types of pipes;
locations and sizes of any underdrains; and locations and grades of
open channels. The surveyor shall obtain record information on all
underground utilities, including electricity, telephone, gas, water,
sewer and cable television connections, and show the locations of
these utilities with due notice concerning those which are not the
result of the surveyor's own field locations. Two sets of these
drawings shall be filed with the Village Planning Board, which shall
hold a hearing to determine their sufficiency. If the Planning Board
finds them sufficient, they shall be filed with the Village Clerk.
Twenty-four hours' minimum notice shall be given to the
Village Engineer before any work covered under these specifications
commences. Where grade sheets are required, one copy shall be delivered
to the Village Engineer 24 hours before work commences.
The following is a list of requirements to be imposed by the
Village prior to a developer offering any road for dedication to the
Village:
A.
A licensed professional engineer must prepare the infiltration/exfiltration
tests and results submitted to both the Rockland County Sewer District
No. 1 and the Town of Ramapo Highway Department and submit proof of
compliance to the Village.
B.
A letter from the Town of Ramapo should be required to be submitted
to the Village. Said letter should indicate that the town has inspected
the sewer within the last 60 days and finds it acceptable as to design
standards.
C.
An inspection should be made, within the last 60 days, of the storm
drainage structures in order to ascertain that each catch basin has
been properly constructed, that the grates have been properly set
on the top of the structure(s) and that the catch basin(s) is (are)
clean and not silted up.
D.
Any headwalls that have been constructed as part of the storm drainage
system must also be inspected, and the details required for their
construction must be in place and acceptable.
E.
Concrete curbs and sidewalks should be inspected by the Village Engineer
at a minimum of 60 days prior, and a letter is required from said
Engineer, indicating that all of the curbs are in place and have not
buckled nor spalled.
F.
Letters should be required from all of the utility companies (the
cable television, Orange and Rockland utilities, Spring Valley Water
Company and telephone companies) indicating that all underground utilities
required for the road and subdivision have been placed and tested
and are in good operating condition, thereby not requiring digging
up of the street for repair(s) for a period of five years, other than
for emergencies.
G.
As part of the installation of curbs and sidewalks, a testing lab
report is required for each one of the items that is placed to indicate
a seven-day and twenty-seven-day design strength of the concrete (for
every 25 cubic feet of concrete).
H.
The asphalt pavement must be tested and reported as to compliance
with the design specifications for the road(s). The asphalt must also
be tested for each 40 tons placed. In lieu of this testing procedure,
the Village should reserve the right to have the contractor, at selected
locations, take samples of the placed material(s) and have them tested.
This procedure would only apply for installations that have not been
inspected by the Village and that cannot comply with the testing requirements
at the time of placement of the material.
I.
The contractor or developer should provide a list to the Village
of all subcontractors that have worked on the project, together with
a release signed by each of the subcontractors provided to assure
that all work has been paid for and no liens are placed on the particular
project.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: Forms for the release of contractors and
affidavits for public improvements are on file in the office of the
Village Clerk.
