SUBJECT:
A Resolution to accept the public improvements and waive the maintenance security for the completed Marmion Academy Varsity Baseball Field & Track Improvements, 2023.166, 1000 Butterfield 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:
The existing baseball and football fields were improved. 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 including, soil erosion control measures, turf and storm sewer.
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. All improvements were installed more than a year ago 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 no public infrastructure.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Approve the acceptance of improvements and waiving the one year maintenance security for Marmion Academy Varsity Baseball Field & Track Improvements.
