SECTION 505. Inspection During Construction. The following phases of site construction shall have mandatory inspection. This list of phases may be amended by mutual agreement of the Borough and developer when the site requires special construction procedures. The inspection schedule shall be recorded with the Final Plan or shown on the approved improvement construction plan. A. General Site Construction. 1. Upon completion of preliminary site preparation including stripping of vegetation, stockpiling of topsoil and construction of temporary soil erosion and sedimentation control devices. 2. Upon completion of rough grading, but prior to placing topsoil, permanent drainage, or other site development improvements and groundcovers. 3. During the construction of permanent storm water management and BMP facilities. All storm sewers, culverts, etc. shall be inspected prior to backfilling. 4. During construction of sanitary sewers and appurtenances, all sanitary sewers shall be constructed and inspected in accordance with Borough specifications. 5. Upon the final completion of permanent storm water management and BMP facilities, including the establishment of ground covers and plantings. 6. After review of the As-Built drawings, required by Section 508 of this Ordinance, but prior to final release of the financial guarantee for completion of final grading, vegetative controls required by the BMP standards, or other site restoration work. B. Street Construction. 1. Preparation of Road Subgrade. At the time of this inspection, the subgrade shall be proof rolled and the proposed crown and grade should be checked. A developer's/contractor's representative shall accompany the observer when the crown and grade are checked. Proof rolling shall be performed with a fully loaded, tandem-axle dump truck. This inspection shall occur prior to any stone subbase being placed. 2. Placement and Compaction of Road Subbase. At the time of this inspection, the depth of subbase shall be checked after compaction, the subbase shall be proof rolled in the same manner as the subgrade and the crown and grade shall be checked again. This inspection shall occur prior to any binder or base course being placed. 3. Placement and Compaction of the Binder/Base Course. At the time of this inspection, the depth of the binder/base course shall be checked, ambient temperature shall be monitored (this is important in early spring and late fall days when the temperature can go below acceptable limits, in accordance with PennDOT specifications, Form 408, as amended), the temperature of the bituminous material shall be checked (if possible), and it is recommended that copies of the weight slips for each truckload are obtained. The crown and grade shall also be checked again. This inspection shall occur prior to the wearing course being placed. 4. Placement and Compaction of the Wearing Course. At the time of this inspection, the guidelines for the placement and compaction of the binder/base course shall be followed. C. In addition to the above outlined inspections, additional inspections shall be made at the request of the developer for reduction of financial securities. Random inspections shall be made at the frequency desired by the municipality. At the time of any of the above listed inspections, all ongoing construction (i.e. storm drainage, sanitary sewer, water, erosion control, etc.) shall also be checked for compliance with the approved plans and the findings reported. Since the above inspections are mandatory, requests for reduction of financial guarantee shall be submitted to coincide with the above inspections. Content Last Modified on 7/31/2012 11:49:59 AM
