The City shall review all plans for public improvements to ensure
that minimum design, materials and construction standards are met
or exceeded. This review is for the City's purpose and in no
way relieves the designer from the requirement to meet federal, state
and local standards.
[Ord. 1020-2003, 10-10-2003]
A.
General: The City shall have all construction of public improvements
inspected by qualified inspectors. This inspection is to assure that
the materials and workmanship meet the City's minimum specifications.
The inspection of construction of public improvements by the City
does not relieve the owner and contractor from the responsibility
to meet the City's minimum standards.
B.
Inspection Procedures: Inspection procedures shall be as detailed
in City of Tahlequah administrative regulations.
C.
Violations of Standards: Inspectors shall notify the contractor of
violations of the construction standards in writing. If the contractor
fails to correct such violation, or continues to violate the construction
standards, the City Administrator shall have the authority to stop
work on the project by issuing an order in writing and setting forth
the violation therein. Neither the contractor nor the developer, shall
proceed with the work until: 1) the failure or fault cited in the
stop order has been corrected, and 2) he is notified in writing by
the City Administrator to proceed.
[Ord. 1020-2003, 10-10-2003]
Prior to the end of the period covered by the maintenance bond,
if required, the public works department authority shall make an inspection
of the project. The City Administrator shall notify the contractor
in writing of all defects that must be corrected and the corrections
must be accepted by the City before the contractor may be released
from his bond and the City accepts the project for the purpose of
future maintenance. Normal wear is not a defect for the purposes of
this section.
[Ord. 1020-2003, 10-10-2003]
Failure to comply with any written order of the City Administrator
or an authorized representative issued under authority of this chapter
shall constitute a Class A offense.
