DE Engineers Estimate

The Engineer’s Estimate of Probable Construction Costs has been accepted for this project, and the Public Works Review and Inspection Fee of $10,260.55 (which is based on 3% of the total infrastructure cost plus a water test inspection fee) must be paid prior to the issuance of an infrastructure permit and/or the final processing of a building permit from the Codes Department.

DE Contact Field Eng. Inspector

Contact Public Works Inspections at (816) 969-1800 at least 48 hours prior to the onset of construction.

DE Contact ROW Inspector

Contact a Right-of-Way Inspector at (816) 969-1800 prior to any land disturbance within the right-of-way. These activities may require a permit.

DE Future Repair Work

Please be aware that any future repair work to public infrastructure (e.g., water main repair, sanitary sewer repair, storm sewer repair, etc.) within public easements will not necessarily include the repair of pavement, curbing, landscaping, or other private improvements which are located within the easement.

PW Public Improvements TIFF CD's (DELETE)

Any public improvements will require two (2) CD ROMs with the plans in TIFF format.

PW Submit Land Disturbance (DELETE)

Submit a Land Disturbance Permit application and the required attachments to the Erosion Control Specialist prior to any land disturbance activities that are to occur prior to obtaining a building permit from the Codes Department. Approval of these plans does not constitute approval of the erosion control plan. Contact Barton Reese at (816) 969-1800 for new land disturbance permitting details.

One (1) additional plan set is required for final processing. A set was missing from the submittal.

As requested in the previous comment letter, a brief analysis of the Detention Basin Outlet Plate's ability to perform it's intended purpose of meeting the 40 hour extended detention requirement should be performed. The response which states "it was discussed during the Preliminary Development Review meeting that the above request was not required" is not our understanding of the conversation. It was our understanding that enlargement of the basin would not be required, but an analysis of the 40 hour extended detention requirement would be necessary to determine if it meets the requirement.

As requested in our previous comment letter, the locations of sanitary sewer manholes to be adjusted to grade must be clearly shown on the plans. Sheet C04 appears to show such an adjustment is necessary. These manholes are located near station 7+00. There are two (2) manholes that appear to need adjustment.

As requested in the previous comment letter, record drawings should be checked to ascertain that the proposed grading will not create a situation where City utilities are too shallow or too deep (i.e., minimum cover of 42" over sanitary or water, maximum cover of 15 feet over sanitary lines, and maximum cover of 7 feet over water lines). The response states that "...there will be no grade changes or grading over existing water lines or sanitary sewers." Sheet C04 appears to show the location where the grade will be changed over existing sanitary sewers. Please analyze these potential conflicts and determine whether the minimum or maximum depths are within tolerance.

The location of a thrust block was not shown at the bend in the private water line near the new fire hydrant nor the bend at the existing fire hydrant where the new fire line will be installed. The response stated "although we've shown the new line as straight, its possible that during construction the contractor may change that alignment...which will change the location of any thrust blocks." The response states that "it is standard practice to allow the locations to be determined in the field..." The City has been requiring "design" locations for thrust blocks to eliminate any confusion which may arise. Please label these locations on the drawing.

Although a standard detail exists for thrust blocks, the exact reference to the standard detail must be called out on the plans (i.e., W-1, W-2, etc.) along with the location of the thrust block.

The estimate provided to Steve Aldridge, City Architect, does not appear to be signed or sealed. In addition, it does not appear to include the modification to the detention basin, and manhole frame and lid adjustment to grade. Finally, the cost estimate appears to include water line, thrust blocks, valves, and fire hydrants within the estimate for "inlets". This does not appear to be an appropriate category for water line construction. Please break the costs down better to separate-out the water line work.

The revised plans (i.e., each sheet) appear to be sealed on November 9, 2012, but the revision date is March 5, 2013. Please seal, date, and sign each revision page or as otherwise allowed by State regulations.

The lighting comment responses are not reflected in the resubmitted plan set. Only sheet FDP-8 needs to be resubmitted to address the lighting comments. Previous comments for reference: a. Lighting. Provide a detail of the new pole lights and base with dimensions of the base height and overall pole light height. b. Lighting. On the photometric plans does the label "ETR" refer to existing light fixtures that are to remain? The "ETR" label appears to represent different types of light fixtures.

It appears the cut sheets for the roof mounted mechanical units (160 inches tall) will exceed the height of the screening walls (approx. 84 inches to 108 inches tall). Please confirm the units will be adequately screened by the screening wall to a minimum height of the units.

Please add the following notation: "...all construction shall follow the City of Lee's Summit Design and Construction Manual as adopted by Ordinance 5813."

The stormwater report dated October 31, 2012 states that "...addition of vertical short segments of perforated pipes at the upstream ends of the existing discharge piping to cause flows from higher frequency storms to be detained to some degree, allowing sediment to settle, before the basin will completely drains, as is expected in an extended dry basin BMP." Please show an analysis which demonstrates that it meets the minimum requirements of Section 5608.4C1(b), 40-hour extended detention of runoff from the local 90% mean annual event.

Please determine from record drawings and/or actual survey measurements whether or not the grading activities on site will exceed the minimum or maximum cover requirements for water lines or sanitary sewers existing on the site. The City requires a minimum of 42 inches cover over water and sanitary sewer lines, and a maximum cover of seven (7) feet over water lines and a maximum cover of fifteen (15) feet over sanitary sewer lines. The cover minimum and maximums are measured from the top of pipe to the finished grade, whether earthen or pavement.

Stormwater profiles should include the 10 year hydraulic grade line and the 100 year hydraulic grade line.

Sheet C09: It is not clear where the existing fire line serving the existing fire hydrant is connected to the public main, and it is not clear where the backflow vault is located. Please show and label on the plans.

Sheet C09: Please show the location and size of the domestic water meter.

Sheet C09: Please label the water line extension as "private".

Sheet C09: Please show the location(s) of thrust blocks for the private 8" water main extension.

A detail should be provided for horizontal (and vertical if applicable) thrust blocks.

It appears that there are sanitary sewer manhole frame and lids which will need adjustment to grade. Please show on the plans.

A sealed Engineer's Estimate of Probable Construction Costs should accompany your final submittal drawings. The Engineering Plan Review and Inspection Fee is based upon this estimate, and is calculated at 3% of the total cost of the project (less any building additions) plus a water test sampling fee of $100 per test. Please include all items necessary to complete the work, including but not limited to the following: 1) pavement, 2) grading, 3) aggregate base, 4) inlets, 5) storm pipe greater than 6" diameter, 6) water line greater than 2" diameter, 7) fittings, thrust blocks, valves, tees, and fire hydrant(s), 8) detention basin retrofits, 9) erosion and sediment control, 10) revegetation including sodding, seeding, mulching, and 11) manhole frame and lid adjustment to grade.

Parking Lot. The section of the parking lot construction/depths does not follow Section 12.120.F of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). Please change accordingly or provide documentation that the proposed construction meets or exceeds the UDO requirements.

Landscaping. On sheet L200 correct note 4 to read "Sod all areas...". Per the UDO all areas disturbed by construction that are not covered with impervious surface or other landscaping material are required to be sodded. See Section 14.090.B.2 of the UDO.

Landscaping. All deciduous (non-ornamental) trees shall have a minimum caliper of 3 inches and all evergreen trees shall have a minimum height of 8 feet at the time of planting. Refer to section 14.050.A of the UDO. Please correct the plant schedule and plant symbol legends accordingly.

Landscaping. For reference only. The dashed in future parking spaces shown on the very east drive will require a new Final Development Plan application at the time of their construction and will likely require additional parking lot screening shrubs.

Lighting. Provide a detail of the new pole lights and base with dimensions of the base height and overall pole light height.

Lighting. On the photometric plans does the label "ETR" refer to existing light fixtures that are to remain? The "ETR" label appears to represent different types of light fixtures.

Lighting. Where will the "Winline Surface Linear" light fixtures be placed?

Architectural. Label the colors of the exterior materials (or state to match existing facade).

Architectural. Provide the colors of the exterior steel man service doors and overhead doors. Please note these doors shall be painted to match the color of the surrounding facade.

Sign permit(s) shall be made under separate application(s).

The following sheet numbers are not required to be resubmitted: A021, A022, A101A, A101B, A101C, A102, and A301.
