SUBJECT:
A Resolution to accept the public improvements and waive the maintenance security for the completed EASD Adventure Program, 2020.177, 1480 Reckinger Rd, in Aurora, Illinois Ward 1.
PURPOSE:
To accept the public improvements installed by the Developer of this project and to waive the normally required, one year maintenance security for these improvements.
BACKGROUND:
This is an existing school that demoed an existing building in parking lot and installed new water service with very minimal public improvements constructed. In accordance with Section 43-55(a)(3) of Aurora's Municipal Code, the Developer of the Project posted a security to ensure completion of these improvements.
DISCUSSION:
This development has now completed all installations, inspections and submissions that make it eligible to be recommended by the Engineering Division for final acceptance of these improvements. As required by Section 43-103(c) of the Municipal Code, the Engineering Division has reviewed, approved and filed as-constructed record plans for the development which depict these limited public improvements and has completed and approved a final site inspection of said improvements via our onsite consultant. Based on our review and approved site inspection, it is recommended by the Engineering Division, that City Council accept the public improvements. It was removal and installation of water service and private parking lot and the length of time that has passed since these overall improvements were completed we also recommend that the normally required one year maintenance security be waived, and the original security posted for the site be returned.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
This action adds or replaces public infrastructure - utilities to various divisions for maintenance, including the Division of Water and Sewer Maintenance; the Water Production Division; all of which have been apprised of these new or replaced utilities.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Approve the acceptance of improvements and waiving the one year maintenance security for EASD Adventure Program.
