Re: Dunlora Forest Phase 3 Road Bond Reduction Request
Thank you for the provided documentation regarding the thus far completed road work for
Dunlora Forest Phase 3 (SUB201300058). The current bond amount for this project is $615,720.
An inspection was performed on 30 October 2015. The following items remain to be completed
or addressed:
Pebble Beach Court
1. Asphalt surface layer.
2. Curb and gutter is cracked and spalled throughout and should be repaired and/or replaced.
3. Curbing should be installed 12" deep. This does not appear to be the case as water is seeping
from the gutter pan/curb joint in several locations. In one location an ink pen could be almost
entirely inserted beneath the curb.
4. Traffic control (stop) sign is less than 7 feet, measured to the bottom of the sign.
5. Drop inlet(s) need to be cleaned out as they contain gravel and debris.
6. No storm sewer video and inspection reports have been provided for the 280' of pipe counted in
the bond estimate for this street.
Bethpage Court
1. Asphalt surface layer.
2. There is considerable fatigue cracking in the installed asphalt base layer in the first approximate
100' of this street. Note that the lowest provided CBR result (4.3) was in this location. This
should be addressed prior to placement of surface layer. Part of the bonded grading amount must
be withheld due to this.
3. Curb and gutter is cracked and spalled throughout.
4. Traffic control signs are less than 7 feet, measured to the bottom of the sign.
5. Drop inlets need to be cleaned out as they contain gravel and debris.
6. Storm sewer has not been completely installed. There is a deformity noted as "likely to fail
within 5-10 years between structures 2 and 2A. This requires repair.
Given the above, the bond amount may only be reduced to $255,230 at this time. Please feel free
to contact me if you have further questions.
Sincerely,
Justin Deel, 434-296-5832 ext. 3565
