Re: Bond reduction request for Wickham Pond Phase H, Block 1, Phase 1 and Wickham Pond
Phase H, Block 1, Phase 3 (Public Roads and a Private Alley).
Your request for an inspection and bond release for Wickham Pond Phase II, Block 1, Phase
1 has been processed. The road bond is currently at $458,890.00 (previously $652,400.00). The
public road portion has been approved for 80% reduction until VDOT is ready to accept the roads
into the State system. The new Wickham Pond Phase H, Blockl, Phase 1 bond amount is
$130,480.00.
Your request for an inspection and bond release for Wickham Pond Phase 11, Block 1, Phase 3 has
been processed. The road bond is currently at $313,540.00 and the New Wickham Pond Phase II,
Blockl, Phase 3 bond amount is $62,708.00 The private alley portion of the road for "Wickham
Pond Phase H, Block 1, Phase 3" does not adequately address requirements for approval at this time,
however, the Reduction is deemed adequate at this time for the needed repairs prior to final release.
Please review the following conditions prior to requesting a site visit/meeting to discuss what is
required to reduce the road bond amount.
Attached, please find a link to the Public Road Acceptance Procedure.

VDOT may have the pipe videos, but the County would like a copy for the road file.
Following is an additional punch list of deficient construction based on site inspection August 2012:
1) Alley drainage inlet SD -133 appears to be set too high and does not allow stormwater to enter
properly. The drainage structure appears to have 3 layers of dry stacked bricks elevating the
structure top that should be replaced with a proper concrete spacer when adjusting the inlet
elevation.
2) 2 dead trees were noted and will need to be replaced per approved plan.
3) The Speed limit signs are missing per plan.
4) Do -Not Enter sign is missing per plan.
5) Stop sign at intersection of Wickham Way and Wickham Place appears to be too short.
6) One-way sign appears to be too short.
For further direction or to setup a field meeting to locate inspection punch list items, feel free to contact our office at
