Include the roadways and the utilities within or without

to the Town Engineers a tentative construction schedule and to request
of the Town Engineers, at least on 48 hours' notice, that the Town
Engineers make such inspections.
If such inspections reveal that the highway
improvements are installed defectively or not in accordance with the
approved plans, the Town Engineers shall notify the appropriate town
official and the owner/developer or its engineer/architect of such
defects. It shall be the duty of the owner/developer to correct such
defects.
After the owner/developer has completed the
highway improvements, the Town Engineers shall make a final inspection
to prepare, when necessary, a punch list of items to be completed
before the highway/street may be accepted by the town. After the owner/developer
has completed the punch list, the Town Engineers will make a follow-up
inspection.
After the follow-up inspection has been made,
the Town Engineer shall file a written report with the Highway Superintendent
and with the Building Inspector. Such written report shall include
the times and dates of on-site inspections and the purposes thereof.
