A copy of the approved plan shall be on the job site throughout construction and shall be modified by the contractor to show as -built conditions. It is the contractor's responsibility to provide this information to you and your consultant for use in developing the final as -built plan, which shall be submitted in the format of one paper copy and one PDF copy. A preconstruction conference is required prior to the start of construction. I can be reached at (434) 977-4511, Ext. 113 to schedule the meeting. The preconstruction conference will help to ensure project coordination, clarify Albemarle County Service Authority (ACSA) requirements pertaining to construction, and answer any questions you may have. We have also enclosed copies of our "Utility Inspection Policy," "Letter of Dedication," and "As -Built Guide" for your information. These documents should be reviewed before the preconstruction conference. A water and sewer construction inspection fee will be invoiced to you at the beginning of the project. The inspection fee for this project is $888.81 for the water system and $41.34 for the sewer system, for a total of $930.15. A plan review fee will be invoiced to you within the next few days. It will be based upon the actual time of plan review billed at the current hourly rate established by the Board of Directors of the ACSA. At the end of the project, you will also be invoiced for an as -built plan review fee. It will be billed in the same manner as the plan review fee. The ACSA cannot set permanent water meters until construction has been completed and approved for operation and recordation of the deed of easement and easement plat for the utility easements has occurred. The deed of easement and easement plat for the utility easements shall be reviewed and approved by the ACSA prior to recordation. Copies of the as -built plan and Letter of Dedication shall be submitted as soon as possible following installation of the utility systems. Timely submission of these documents will help you avoid delays in receiving utility service. 168 Spotnap Road - Charlottesville, VA 22911 - Phone (434) 977-4511 - Fax (434) 979-0698 www.serviceauthority.org Please be advised the Albemarle County Department of Community Development is instructed to hold the water and sewer bond amount at a minimum value of 20% of the original amount until the dedication of the utility systems is completed. The ACSA has reviewed the proposed development and has determined that as of this date there is an adequate supply of water and/or adequate sewer capacity to serve the development. Water and/or sewer connections to the ACSA system are allotted on a first -come, first -served basis at the time connection fees are paid. The ACSA does not reserve capacity in its system for a specific project. Approval of water and/or sewer utilities for this project does not constitute a guarantee of future service. Due to the likelihood of corrosive soils in the project area, the need for polyethylene encasement may be required on the ductile iron water main. Soil testing will be required to determine corrosiveness of soils, but it will be in the ACSA's sole judgment to determine if polyethylene encasement will be installed. The plan approval is valid for a period of 18 months. If construction is not in progress at the end of the approval period, the approval shall be void. If you have any questions or if we may be of assistance, please give us a call at (434) 977-4511.
