§ 27-35. Inspection.

(a)

During construction and at the time when periodic inspections and testing are required, the city engineer, or authorized representative, together with the developer's engineer, will be present to observe and jointly witness tests for determination of conformance to approved plans and specifications. At the completion of any on-site sanitary sewerage system, and prior to any connection to the city's off-site system, the developer shall provide a television inspection of the entire on-site gravity system, under the direction of the city's engineer and city's utility director, to ensure compliance with specifications. The television inspection can be waived if recommended by the city engineer, or authorized representative. The city engineer's recommendation shall be used strictly on satisfactory visual inspection, positive test results, or both. The developer shall also re-televise such system one (1) year after the last certificate of occupancy is issued for the development. However, if there is no evidence of infiltration and the system is cleared by lamping, television inspection will not be required. All defects encountered during the inspections, regardless of cause shall be repaired by developer at no cost to city. Final release of developer's responsibilities will not be made until the utilities re-inspection is accomplished.

(b)

To ensure that adequate funds will be available for the required tests and possible repairs, the developer shall post a bond or submit a letter of credit from a local bank in the amount of ten (10) percent of the certified construction cost of such on-site sewer system for a period of one (1) year following the date of issuance of the last certificate of occupancy.

(c)

In the event any public roads are excavated by the developer in connecting the on-site system with the off-site system, the developer must accept responsibility, and hold harmless the city for a period of three (3) years regarding all repairs and maintenance of the pavement restoration, in accordance with the standards set forth by the various jurisdictional, municipal and public agencies.

(d)

The work to be performed by the developer pursuant to the provisions set forth in this article, shall be in accordance with all requirements of the regulatory agencies having jurisdiction of the subject matter of this agreement. Additional requirements shall be specified within the City of Dania Beach Water and Sewer Extension Policy.
