Fp,"- MAR 171982 TO: The Honorable Members of the DATE: March 5, 1982 Board of County Commissioners I, THRU: David Greene, Assistant County Administrator FROM: Jim Davis, Public Works Director DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS FILE: SUBJECT: Request for Release of Maintenance Bond - Colonial Heights Subdivision REFERENCES: Frank L. Zorc to Neil Nelson ,dated Feb. 3, 1982 On July 20, 1981, Mr. Frank Zorc, developer of Colonial Heights Subdivision located west of Old Dixie Highway and south of 8th Street, submitted an $8,780. cash maintenance performance bond to cover the burning/removal of cleared material; seeding and germination of grass in swale and easement areas, and the installation of traffic control signs within the development. This bond was approved by the Board of County Commissioners as a condition of granting Final Plat Approval on July -15, 1981. By copy�oof the ,above referenced letter, Mr. Zorc is -requesting release of this bond. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS Inspection by the Public Works Department on Feb. 25, 1982 revealed that seeding germination does not exist in the following areas: 1) Along 6th Place west of Old Dixie Hwy. Approx. 6000 S.F. 2) At the intersection of 6th Street and 9th Avenue - Approx. 6000 S.F. 3) At the intersection of 6th Street and 9 Ct. - Approx. 6000 S.F. _ 4) Within the side. lots easements between lots 9 and 10 and beti;een lots 14 and 15 - approx 10,000 S.F. Total area = Approx. 28,000 S.F. Mr. Zorc was notified of this matter, however, he states that seeding was performed and the severe drought weather has impaired the permanent rooting of the seed. Mr. Zorc claims that the -work covered by the Bond was all accom- plished, and that the $8,780. amount should be released so that the Contractor, Trodglen Co. can be paid for the work. He also states that any maintenance required by the developer, i.e. reseeding or sodding, will be perfoimcd by him when improved weather conditions prevail. In analysing the areas that have not germinated, approximately $3000. would cover regrassing even if sod is required for erosion protection. The following alternatives are presented: Alternative No. 1 Release to Mr. Zorc $5,780.*of the bond which represents that portion of the work complete and acceptable. The remaining $3,000. should be retained by the County until the proper erosion control exists.
