SUBJECT:
A Resolution to accept the public improvements and waive the maintenance security for the completed Duke Pkwy Extension at Barclay, COA Case No. 17.016, Ward 10
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 a commercial development that extended a section of Duke Parkway to connect with IL Rt. 59. 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, Erosion Control, and Roadway 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 of 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 recommend by the Engineering Division, that City Council accept the public improvements. Due to 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; the Street Maintenance Division; the Electrical 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 Duke Pkwy Extension at Barclay.
