All construction, grading and encroachment related work for
which a permit is issued, pursuant to the provisions of this title,
shall be subject to inspections by the city engineer. The inspections
shall be in accordance with this title and the Engineering and Construction
Manual.
(Ord. 13-01 § 4)
Upon final completion of the rough grading work, the city engineer
may require written approvals, reports, plans and supplements, as
specified in and subject to the requirements of the Engineering and
Construction Manual, prior to his or her inspections.
(Ord. 13-01 § 4)
The permittee or agent shall notify the city engineer when the
grading operation is ready for final inspection. Final approval shall
not be granted until all work, including installation of all drainage
facilities and their protective devices, and all erosion and sediment
control measures, including landscaping and its irrigation system,
have been completed in accordance with the approved grading plan,
and the required reports have been submitted. Where landscape planting
for erosion and sediment control has been installed, final clearance
(release of security deposits) shall not be granted until the planting
has been established. The establishment of such erosion and sediment
control plantings shall be certified by a licensed landscape architect
and approved by the city engineer.
(Ord. 13-01 § 4)
If, in the course of fulfilling their responsibilities under
this title, the engineer of record, the geotechnical engineer, the
engineering geologist or the testing agency finds that the work is
not being performed in accordance with approved plans, specifications
or this title, the discrepancies shall be reported immediately in
writing to the grading contractor, the permittee and the city engineer.
Recommendations for corrective measures shall be submitted for approval
to the city engineer.
(Ord. 13-01 § 4)
The city engineer may establish special inspection requirements
in accordance with Chapter 17, Section 1704, "Special Inspections,"
of the
California Building Code, amended, for special cases involving
grading or paving related operations. Special cases may apply to work
where, in the opinion of the city engineer, it is necessary to supplement
the resources or expertise available for inspection.
