 Other Important Information
 
Building Pre-Construction Survey
Prior to the start of construction, the Contractor will also be carrying out a pre-construction survey of the project area. This is to provide a record in the unlikely event that any damage occurs as a result of the construction activities. The survey will consist of an inspection of both the interior and exterior of buildings/property to verify existing conditions. A separate notice from OZA will be circulated to schedule these surveys with affected residents. Participation is on a voluntarily basis, however recommended as we note that it is important measure to determine if any losses are caused by the construction activities.
Restoring Driveways

  1. Per the Town’s engineering standards, contract, and past practices:

    1. Driveway material is to be replaced like for like. For gravel driveways the Town portion of the right of way to property line will be paved with asphalt.
    2. All driveway restoration is to be completed to property line with a gradient between a minimum and maximum of 2.0%, and 7.0%, respectively.
    3. Under certain circumstances where the road elevation has changed it may necessitate grading beyond the property line. In these cases, advanced notices are provided to the Owner(s) and a permission to enter/grading agreement is required to carry out the necessary restoration work. Upon completion, a final release form is required from the Owner(s) confirming that they are satisfied with the work completed.
    4. Under certain circumstance where the existing driveway under pre-existing conditions exceeds a 7% gradient a best effort approach to match the pre-existing slope, or improve upon the gradient by paving to, or beyond the property line to achieve the maximum 7% gradient. This is however, reviewed on a case-by-case basis.  
    5. In preparation for paving for the driveways the Contractor and Inspector will review and agree upon the best tie-in point to match existing asphalt prior to saw-cutting the driveway.  
The match points have been identified during detailed design and are part of the Contractor’s scope of work to complete. The limits beyond these match points are not considered part of the scope of this project and have not been budgeted for. The Town has been advised by the Contractor that they are not currently interested in entering into a private agreement with the Owner(s) to pave the remaining balance of the private driveway. In the event the Contractor decides to take on these sorts of requests the Town would remain responsible for only the costs associated for the driveway portion as set out in the design including warranty obligations for said portion. Any private agreements would be solely between the Contractor and Owner(s).  
Privately Owned Items
The Contractor will not be responsible for damages to any privately owned items on Town property. Property owners should remove items located within Town right-of-way such as landscaping and/or decorative objects. If you have a sprinkler system and/or septic bed located in close proximity to the Town property limits, please contact the Town Project Manager or Consultant Field Inspector identified within this Notice. 
Safety
Construction involves the use of heavy equipment and the unavoidable creation of obstacles. These circumstances are often attractive to children, and as such, we ask that you please caution your children to stay clear of the construction work zone. While the contractor is required to conduct the Works in a safe manner, we ask that you please take extra caution during the construction period as an additional measure.
