2 Del. Admin. Code § 6.6
The application process for industrial streets follows the same procedures as subdivision streets presented in Section 6.5.1 with a separate security for industrial street construction being required in the amount of 10% of the itemized construction cost estimate, as approved by DelDOT. See the online content housed at http://devcoord.deldot.gov > Forms for related forms and agreements.
Requirements for obtaining a NTP for industrial streets follow the same procedures as subdivision streets presented in Section 6.5.2.
The developer is responsible for providing inspection of the bonded internal industrial park streets as per the construction agreement. The developer's engineer shall be certified by the DelDOT Consultant Control Coordinator to perform construction engineering.
DelDOT reserves the right to inspect and approve any construction associated with the proposed development in accordance with Section 6.8 and the inspection procedures outlined in the DelDOT Construction Manual.
DelDOT also reserves the right to make such changes, additions, and relocations to the approved plans that may be considered necessary to ensure compliance with this Development Coordination Manual along with applicable guidelines and standards, such as those listed in Section P.9.1 of this manual, which include but are not limited to: Manuals, Guidelines and Policies published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO); DelDOT's Road Design Manual (RDM); DelDOT's Bridge Design Manual; DelDOT's Design Guidance Memorandums (DGM); DE MUTCD; other Nationally Accepted Standards (NAS) and ensure the safety of the traveling public. Non-compliant structures and roadside obstructions including brick mailboxes shall be removed at DelDOT's direction prior to final acceptance.
Upon completion of the construction, the following documents shall be submitted:
If the developer fails to satisfactorily complete industrial park street construction in accordance with the construction agreement for industrial park streets as determined by DelDOT, the developer shall receive written notice and have fourteen calendar days to provide DelDOT with an approved schedule for completion. If a schedule for completion has not been received within the specified time period, the developer shall receive a second written notice and have an additional seven calendar days to meet in person with DelDOT and present an approved schedule for completion.
Should the developer fail to provide a satisfactory construction schedule or fail to comply with the approved completion schedule, DelDOT shall withdraw its agreement and shall have the right to collect the construction security to correct the condition. All costs incurred in the removal and/or correction of defective workmanship and/or materials over and above the construction security shall be borne by the developer.
Upon completion of all aspects of the initial street construction to the satisfaction of the inspecting engineer, a semi-final inspection will be held. Once semi-final inspection punch list items have been completed and accepted, an accessibility inspection shall be scheduled. Once the accessibility inspection punch list items are completed and accepted, the first final inspection shall be requested. The Public Works Engineer or the Construction Group Engineer may then schedule a first final inspection which shall be conducted by DelDOT. DelDOT personnel, accompanied by the developer and/or his/her contractor, and representatives of the appropriate County and/or municipal officials, shall inspect the site and determine those items of work, if any, that must be either completed, repaired or replaced. After the first final inspection, a three-year waiting period is required, during which time, the 10% surety shall remain in effect, prior to the acceptance of said streets into DelDOT's maintenance system. At this time a final inspection shall be held to ensure that the streets as designed have held up to the anticipated traffic loading. The three-year waiting period is required by DelDOT because of the significantly higher traffic volumes that are typically generated by an industrial park type development and the heavier vehicle loadings that are experienced by the high percentage of truck traffic. DelDOT accepts no responsibility for maintenance or snow removal during the three-year waiting period.
Withdrawal of industrial park street construction approval for failure to complete the streets shall be cause to increase the required construction security to 100% on future industrial park street construction projects requested by the defaulting applicant.
Following completion of the three year waiting period and submission of required documentation to the satisfaction of the Public Works Engineer, the Public Works Engineer will recommend acceptance of the streets and shall prepare an "Acceptance Drawing and an Acceptance Statement" for signatures.
Upon acceptance of the streets into the State maintenance system, DelDOT agrees to the following limited maintenance responsibilities:
