Before completing as -built drawings, make any corrections necessary to ensure all improvements are within right -of -ways and easements. Bond inspection: Request a bond reduction or release inspection from the County, which will reduce or release your bond, indicating completion or partial completion, or generate a letter indicating items in need of documentation or completion.
