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 $1,948.16 (which is based on 3% of the total infrastructure cost plus two (2) water test inspection fees) must be paid prior to the issuance of an infrastructure permit and/or the final processing of a building permit from the Codes Administration 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 Submit Land Disturbance (DELETE)

If land disturbance is desired prior to the issuance of a building permit, please submit a Land Disturbance Permit application and the required attachments to the Erosion Control Specialist. Contact Barton Reese at (816) 969-1800 for land disturbance permitting details.

Misc.

The fuel for the generator was not specified. If it is diesel, provide tank specifications and amount of fuel to be stored.

Please add a note stating that "...all construction shall follow the City of Lee's Summit Design and Construction Manual as adopted by Ordinance 5813. Where discrepancies exist between these plans and the Design and Construction Manual, the Design and Construction Manual shall prevail."

Sheet C4: A cut-in tee is required for any water connection greater than 2" in diameter. It appears a 2 1/2 inch domestic line is called out, so a tee will need to be cut-in at the location shown.

Sheet C4: Is the proposed 2" water meter within an easement? Please show the location of the easement since public water meters should be contained within a public easement or right of way.

Sheet C4: Please revise Construction Note 4 concerning City of Lee's Summit standards for gas line connections. The City does not have any standards for the connection of gas lines since this is a separate entity.

Sheet C5: Pavement detail for "STD. PAVEMENT" does not meet the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Article 12 in terms of pavement thickness. The UDO requires a minimum of 5 inch base course asphaltic concrete with a 2" surface course.

Sheet C5: Pavement detail for "HEAVY DUTY PAVEMENT" does not meet the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Article 12 in terms of surface course pavement thickness. The UDO requires a minimum of 6 inch base course asphaltic concrete with a 2" surface course.

Sheet C6: The trench and backfill method shown is no longer allowed for the installation of silt fence. The City requires that the slit method (i.e., machine-laid) be used for all silt fence installation.

Sheet C1: This sheet is entitiled "Demolition Plan", but there are notes which specify "remove and replace". While this is not necessarily an issue, please consider renaming this sheet since there are construction notes which pertain to items not associated with demolition. In addition, the notes should be altered to specify the type of pavement to be replaced. If you wish to keep this sheet the same name, then a separate sheet will need to be prepared showing the location(s) of pavement to be replaced, along with a designation whether it is standard thickness or heavy duty.

An itemized and sealed Engineer's Estimate of Probable Construction Costs should accompany your final submittal drawings. The Engineering Plan Review and Inspection Fee is based on this estimate, and is calculated at 3% of the total, plus a $100 per trip fee for the collection of water samples. Items to include in the itemized estimate include: 1) water lines greater than 2" in diameter, 2) connections to the existing water line greater than 2", 3) sanitary sewer wyes, 4) pavement removal and replacement, including subgrade preparation and/or aggregate base, 5) curb and gutter removal and replacement, 6) erosion and sediment control devices, 7) final restoration of the site, including topsoil, seeding, sodding, fertilizer, mulch, etc.

Any landscaping to be removed for this project will be replaced with a silimar planting (for example, deciduous shrubs will be replaced with deciduous shrubs). Provide confirmation what will be removed from where and what and will be replanted where.
