The Director shall perform inspections from time to time to
ensure the health, safety and general welfare of the community, including,
but not limited to, the following:
In subdivision developments when the roadways are not under
the jurisdiction of the Township, inspection shall be conducted to
insure the health, safety and general welfare of the community on
the following operations:
The proprietor of a project shall secure, at his expense, a
geotechnical engineering consultant registered to practice in the
State of Michigan, to provide testing for density of special backfill
areas, pavement subgrade subbase, concrete and asphalt pavement. The
geotechnical engineering consultant shall also provide written recommendations
for special construction methods required as a result of poor or unusual
ground conditions. The geotechnical engineer shall also be responsible
for conducting the standard tests for concrete and asphalt pavement
materials and "in-place" construction.
After all approvals and permits have been secured from the Township
and all state and county agencies and prior to the start of construction,
a preconstruction meeting shall be held with the contractor and the
Director and, if the proprietor elects, his engineers and representatives
of the various public and privately owned utilities.
At the time of submittal of the detailed construction plans,
all costs for plan review shall be deposited with the Township. The
fee shall be paid before the Township Engineer shall review any part
of the construction drawings. Prior to the start of construction,
all costs for inspection shall be established by the Township. At
no time shall construction proceed when the proprietor's escrow
account for inspection is in an amount less than the estimated cost
of inspection to complete all remaining site work.
See Article XII of these standards.
