Re: Bond reduction request for Westhall Phases I-V Road Bonds
Your bond reduction requests for Westhall phases I through V have been processed.
Westhall Phases I & II:
Current bond amount: $106,922 (the minimum 20% of the original $ 534,610)
1. The as-builts will need to be updated to show all improvements are within the platted
right-of-way and will need a signed seal. The as-builts will also need to verify the turnaround
is outside of Lot 21, or an easement will be required. (comment from inspection performed
3/27/12 by Glenn Brooks)
Westhall Phase III:
Current bond amount: $135,000 (original $157,880)
1. The as-builts will need to be updated to show all improvements are within the platted
right-of-way and will need a signed seal. (comment from inspection performed 3/27/12 by
Glean Brooks)
Westhall Phase IV:
Current bond amount: $66,558 (original $89,630)
1. (comment from inspection performed 3/14/11 by Glenn Brooks) Please provide the items
in the private road acceptance procedure. A certificate of completion was not received. No
tests or inspection reports for paving materials and construction were received. Inspections of
pipe systems and manholes must be provided. Computations verifying adequacy of pipe
systems built flatter than designed are required. The as -built plan does not appear to contain
any measurements for the roads, and this is required. A certified engineer's letter was not
received. Some of the curb and paving appears to have settled excessively on Joliet Court.
2. Several other areas of cracked curb and cracked/settled pavement were noticed with this
inspection, along with an area of sidewalk that has spalled.
Westhall Phase V:
Current bond amount: $110,560 (original $552,800)
Based on the information provided, I can reduce these bonds to the following amounts:
Phases I and II: no change, already at minimum 20%
Phase III: $78,940
Phase IV: no change
Phase V: The bond can be released.
Please contact me if you have questions.
Sincerely,
Matt Wentland, PE
Civil Engineer II
