Re: Bonding sidewalk and vegetation
Mrs. Cotter
The check for $3,375 is for the 150% on the vegetation bond. All places that where disturbed have been seeded and
should have growth in the next 30-45 days. Weather permitting. We will also be responsible for any sediment that ends
up in the public storm system.
The check for $3,200 is for the 200' of sidewalk west of Dalton. We will install this once we have permission from the gas
co. To cross the line. This should happen in the next 60-90 days.
Thanks
Dusty Phillips

Hi Dusty,
As was done for Phases 200 and 201, we will accept a bond/check for 150%of the amount required to
re -vegetate the site. The letter to accompany the surety needs to say what the money is for and your
timeframe for getting it done. Letter also needs to acknowledge that you will be responsible for
removing any sediment that may get deposited in the public storm system ahead of the grass getting
established.
Since there is no stationing on the 8-foot sidewalk/path, I scale the length to about 196 feet. I would call
the length approximately 200 feet to be conservative. Again, the letter to accompany the surety needs
to say what the money is for and your timeframe for getting it done.
Please call me if you have any questions,

Once all is seeded will the $2,250 be enough for vegatation bond?
We ripped out that small piece of 5ft sidewalk. We would like to bond that whole piece. Could you get
me an exact length of that piece of sidewalk.
Thanks

Dusty,
As with the previous phase, you will need to seed all areas that haven't been seeded
before we will accept the surety for the vegetation. Donnie indicated that there are
areas that haven't yet been seeded.
Israel also noticed that the 30' section of sidewalk on the west side of Dalton Lane was
only 5 feet wide and should be 8 feet in width. Your surety needs to include the entire
length of the 8-foot sidewalk/path.

Dusty,
Donnie will take a look this morning regarding the vegetation. The $2,250 listed in the
Cost Estimate was for broadcast seeding of ROW and berms. Were there other areas
that were disturbed? What is area being bonded?
Regarding the sidewalk/path. Plans indicate this is to be an 8-foot sidewalk/path.
Please provide the estimate for the outstanding length of this sidewalk/path. The cost
estimate you provided was for 4-foot sidewalks which this phase should actually have 5
foot sidewalks per the plans.
With the surety for these items, you need to provide a letter stating what the funds are
being provided for, and timeline for construction. Letter needs to be specific to length
of 8-foot sidewalk and area of vegetation.

John,
If the change does not significantly affect any of the surrounding lots, then it can be handled with the mylar. Otherwise,
it will have to go back through P&Z.

Given the current status of the plat (plat final but not recorded), what needs to be done since more ROW is needed.

Hi John,
Additional ROW is necessary. Each pavement lane needs to 20' BC -BC for fire access. Most common practice is to
designate median as "common area" when platting. Provide median drainage details to include perforated pipe,
geotextile fabric and gravel media. I have attached an example of median drainage details and a plat for your reference.

Wallace Phillips ask me to forward these drawings to you. Print drawings on 11 x 17 for correct scale.
During construction, a telephone vault was found. Developer contacted vault owner and they were agreeable to a
median. I was contracted to revise the original design (By Phillips Engineering) to avoid disturbing the vault. Luckily, the
vault was almost perfectly centered in the proposed road.
Please note:
• Revision is within proposed ROW. No additional width was needed.
• The street slopes changed slightly to ensure the top of the vault was above the proposed back of curb.
• Sidewalk was adjusted to roadway modification
• Irrigation and electrical sleeves for outside edge of road to median are proposed.
• The width of the road around the median is 15' BC -BC.
Please let me know if you have any question.

Attached are plans.
I got elevations coordinated with Todd. FYI, the profile on Tonridge was used and the Inset C elevation on Sheet 5. The
profile for Dalton on Sheet 5 was not correct.
