Contractors

Contractors are the underground contractors, plumbers, and homebuilders who are actually building or constructing the improvements. They typically schedule the pre-construction conference, and manage the project through inspection and construction acceptance.

The preconstruction conference is held either at the District office or onsite, depending on the complexity of the project. The purpose of this meeting is to ensure that the contractor understands all of the requirements of the project.

Prior to scheduling the conference, the Contractor must have:

  • Liability insurance
  • A copy of the 2020 Design Manual
  • A Right of Way Utility permit, if required.

These must be satisfied or completed before the preconstruction conference can be scheduled.

During construction, the District inspects the mainline installation and oversees the testing of the sewer mains and manholes. Contractor must contact District to schedule testing.

Upon completion of the installation, main line must be inspected via CCTV. Contractor can choose to have the District or an approved Private TV contractor perform the CCTV inspection. The results of the inspection must be submitted to the District for review and approval. District inspector will provide the contractor with a punch list of items that need to be corrected; the sewer system is surveyed and pre pave record drawings are prepared by the Engineer and submitted for approval. Other steps in the process:

  • Once pre-pave record drawings are approved, contractor is released to finish paving.
  • Final record drawings are shot to acquire actual finish grade of the rim elevation of all manholes and appurtenances.
  • The physical acceptance letter will be issued.
  • Contact the District to schedule removal of the sewer plug.
  • Sewer plug deposit will be refunded, if applicable.
