When the developer has completed the required public improvements in a plan, the developer shall notify the Borough, in writing, by certified or registered mail. Within 10 days of the receipt of such notification, the Borough Council shall authorize the Borough Engineer to conduct a final inspection of the public improvements in the plan to determine compliance with the design standards specified in Article
VI of this chapter and the Borough construction standards.
Upon completion of the public improvements in a plan, as-built
plans and profiles of the public improvements, as constructed, shall
be filed with the Borough by the developer within 10 days of the mailing
of the notice of completion. A sepia and print of each as-built drawing
shall be submitted. As-built plans and profiles shall be marked "as-built"
and shall contain the final grade of all sanitary and storm sewers
and appurtenances. Horizontal angles between sanitary sewer manholes
shall be shown.
In the event that the public improvements required to be installed
by the provisions of this chapter are not installed in accordance
with the requirements of this chapter or the approved final plat prior
to the expiration of the completion bond, the Borough Council shall
have the power to enforce the completion bond by appropriate legal
and equitable remedies provided by the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. If proceeds from the completion bond are insufficient
to pay the cost of installing or making repairs or corrections to
all the improvements guaranteed by such completion bond, the Borough
Council may, at its option, install part of such improvements in all
or part of the subdivision or land development and may institute appropriate
legal or equitable action to recover the moneys necessary to complete
the remainder of the improvements. All of the proceeds, whether resulting
from the completion bond or from any legal or equitable action brought
against the developer, or both, shall be used solely for the installation
of the improvements guaranteed by such completion bond and not for
any other municipal purpose.
Approval of private improvements for which an amenities bond
has been posted and final release of that amenities bond shall only
indicate compliance with the specifications shown on the approved
plan. Such approval and release of the amenities bond shall not imply
approval by the Borough of the method of construction or the structural
integrity of the private improvements, nor shall there be any liability
associated with or responsibility for maintenance of those private
improvements by the Borough. A maintenance bond shall not be required
to be posted for private improvements as a condition of release of
the amenities bond.
