This section discusses the materials involved in parks irrigation water pipeline distribution systems and associated construction activities. The materials selected have been chosen for their strength, durability and ease of maintenance. All materials, unless specifically approved otherwise, shall be new and unused.

Where applicable, American Water Works Association (AWWA) or other standards have been referenced and it shall be the responsibility of the developer/engineer/contractor to be familiar with those standards to insure compliance. Titles corresponding to the specific numbers are given in the reference section of the standards.

In some instances, particular manufacturers and product names have been mentioned as being approved. Other products may also meet the requirements but must first be approved by a Products/Materials Committee consisting of Engineering and Public Works staff and any other affected departments. The Committee will meet and make a recommendation to the City Engineer who will issue a decision in writing. One factor, which may be considered by the Engineering Department in any consideration of other products, is the need for some degree of standardization.

If at any time the Engineering Department believes that the use of a specific product must either be halted or changed, the City Engineer has the authority to make the change providing the decision is based upon an engineering, performance or maintenance evaluation.

The Engineering Department will require such tests and certifications as deemed necessary to show that the specified materials have been employed. Notwithstanding prior factory or yard inspections, the City Engineer will have the right to reject any damaged or defective materials found on the job, which will affect the durability or performance of the installation and order its removal from the site.

General accepted main line pipe materials consist of either polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or ductile iron pipe (DIP) as described in this section. All materials which may contact drinking water shall be ANSI – certified as meeting the requirements of ‘NSF Standard 61, Drinking Water System Components’. All pertinent water system components should be appropriately stamped with the NSF logo for field verification. The following pipe materials and sizes apply to work within the City of West Jordan water service area:

1. PVC Pipe – All materials which may contact drinking water, including plastic pipes, gaskets, lubricants and O-rings shall be ANSI – certified as meeting the requirements of ‘NSF Standard 61, Drinking Water System Components’. All pertinent water system components should be appropriately stamped with the NSF logo for field verification. Please refer to the City’s ‘Construction Specifications Manual’ for detailed information regarding this pipe type.
2. Ductile Iron Pipe. – The City allows the use of this pipe type for main lines which meet the following requirements:
   1. Pipe. The pipe shall conform to AWWA C151 for both quality and strength. Each pipe shall include the letters “DI” or word “DUCTILE” to indicate the pipe material.
   2. Joints. These shall be of the rubber gasket push-on joint type conforming to the requirements of AWWA C111 and being of the “tyton” type.
   3. Fittings. All fittings shall conform to AWWA C110.
   4. Lining and Coating. Unless otherwise approved, the internal surfaces shall be lined with a uniform thickness of cement mortar and then sealed with a bituminous coating in accordance with AWWA C104.

Outside protective coatings are dependent upon the soil type in which the pipe will be buried. The engineer is to evaluate this issue and provide a recommendation along with backup information to the City Engineer for review and approval.

Construction of this pipeline type may require full-time inspection from off loading of the material to completion of testing.

1. Ductile Iron Fittings. These fittings shall meet the requirements of AWWA C110. All fittings shall be rated for 250 psi. These standard covers but are not limited to fittings with combinations of ends including mechanical joints, plain end, flange, push joint. The fitting types are as follows:

   90, 45, 22-1/2, and 11-1/4 degree° bends

   Tees and crosses, reducers, caps and plugs, connecting pieces (MJ sleeve and MJ adapters), flanged bends, flanged tees and crosses, flanged reducers.

   Ductile-iron compact fittings, per AWWA C153, are allowed. It should be understood that care must be exercised to not mix mechanical and flange joint ends since they will not mate. Bolt ends shall be coated with Poly FM grease and each fitting wrapped in 10-mil Polyethylene sheeting after installation.

2. Flanges, Bolts and Gaskets. They shall be flat-faced and meet the requirements of AWWA C207 and should be AWWA standard steel hub flanges, Class E (275 psi) (these flanges meet ANSI B-16.5). The flanges shall be marked with the size, name or trademark of manufacturer and with the AWWA class, i.e. “E”. Bolts and nuts are to be provided as indicated in the City’s ‘Construction Specifications Manual’. Gaskets shall be of the drop-in gasket type, 1/8-inch thick.

The inherent problem with flanges is that they are rigid and do not provide flexibility. Two keys to their installation are (1) uniform tightening of the bolts, and (2) prevention of bending or torsional strains. Proper anchorage is important to meet the latter objective

1. Mechanical Joint Fittings. This is a bolted joint of the stuffing box type. Each joint has a bell provided with an exterior flange having bolt holes or slots, and a socket with gaskets to receive the plain end of the pipe or fitting. The joint also has a sealing gasket, follower gland with bolt holes and tee head bolts with hexagonal nuts. The mechanical joints shall meet AWWA C111. That standard covers the joint as well as gaskets and bolts.

2. Flexible Couplings. These are designed to connect plain end pipes with a mechanical Compression joint to provide a stress relieving, flexible, leak proof joint. They can be ordered in steel or cast-iron pipe sizes (note: C900 PVC pipe has same O.D. as cast iron).
3. Transition Couplings. These are used to connect pipes of the same nominal size but different materials. Steel and PVC pipes can be connected to one another.
4. Flanged Coupling Adapters. These are used to connect plain end pipe to flanged valves, pumps, meters, etc. They eliminate the need for both a flanged spool and coupling. Generally, they are available in sizes through 12-inches.
5. Insulating Couplings. These are used to stop the flow of electric current across the joint by means of an insulating boot.
6. Special Steel Pipe Fittings. AWWA C208 covers special fittings such as elbows, tees, crosses, reducers, etc., and should be consulted for a specific application.

Section 4.0 of the manual identifies landscape and irrigation plan preparation work which is to be coordinated through the Engineering, Public Works and Community Development departments. The Developer is responsible for obtaining the necessary City design and construction standards, permits, and for coordinating with the Engineering Department to ensure its requirements have

been met. It is the Developer’s responsibility to complete the work required. The Developer is responsible for expediting the work and obtaining the necessary approvals and permits necessary to proceed with construction. In the case of construction of secondary water canal weirs, the Developer is responsible for

processing these approvals through the respective canal company prior to preliminary plat approval. The Developer is to provide all fees and securities necessary to construct these facilities.

One of the first items the Developer needs to do is to review the City’s master plan for parks, recreation and trails prior to starting design of these types of projects. This master plan is the:

1. Parks, Recreation & Trails Master Plan In conjunction with the parks master plan, the Developer will also need to review the various infrastructure master plans which may be related which include:

   1. Culinary water system

   2. Secondary water system

   3. Transportation

   4. Storm drainage system

   5. Wastewater system

   The Developer needs to contact the Engineering Department and review these documents with them prior to proceeding with design

The Developer is responsible for obtaining the City’s design and construction standards for parks and trails, land disturbance and related infrastructure. These standards are available through the Engineering Department for a fee, which covers the cost of reproduction of these documents. The fee is indicated in the City’s Consolidated Fee Schedule and is available on the City’s Website www.wjordan.com Please see the Finance Department for the most current version of the City’s Consolidated Fee Schedule.

All preliminary and final design is to be in compliance with the City’s master plans and design and construction standards and is to include the following:

1. Master Plan Compliance – Prior to beginning design of any facilities, the Developer is to meet with the Engineering Department and receive information regarding facility sizing/locations for the proposed project. Call ahead and set up an appointment through the Engineering Department secretary.

2. Fire Flow Calculations – The Developer is to demonstrate to City Staff, through engineering calculations prepared by a registered civil engineer, that the fire flow required by the Fire Department can be met, prior to the construction of buildings being started. Prior to an outside consultant preparing these calculations, the Developer’s consultant must obtain Engineering Department approval of the modeling technique and assumptions.

3. Flood Plain Evaluation – The Developer is to submit a flood plain evaluation performed and stamped by a registered civil engineer to document whether the property lies within a flood plain or not.

4. Drainage Calculation – The City has completed a storm drain and flood control master plan, which identifies major storm drain facilities to which each Developer must connect. The Developer is responsible for constructing pipelines and other facilities to the master plan facilities. Calculations must be prepared for the Developer provided facilities by a registered civil engineer and submitted to the Engineering Department for review and comment. The City will return an approved set of calculations to the Developer once these calculations are deemed to meet the City’s requirements.

5. Traffic Impact Study – The Developer may be required to pay for a traffic impact study to be prepared by a registered traffic engineer, under the Engineering Department’s direction that addresses the traffic and transportation impacts of the project. The extent of investigation and scope of work is defined in Appendix R – Guidelines for Traffic Impact Studies and will be determined by the Engineering Department. All original copies of the report are to be we stamped and signed by the traffic engineer.

6. Geotechnical Report – The Developer is to submit to the Engineering Department for approval, a geotechnical report prepared by a registered geotechnical engineer if structures are involved in the parks & trails construction. This report is to contain a soils report of the project’s underlying soils, which is to identify groundwater levels and other soils data important to construction of the road and structures. The report is to contain recommendations to correct problems in the field and is to also contain a section that identifies pavement design for all facilities to be dedicated to the City. In Appendix S of the City’s Development Processing Manual, a guideline for geotechnical reports identifies the extent and scope of work for the geotechnical report and the report is to be delivered to the Engineering Department directly from the geotechnical engineer preparing the report. All original copies of the report are to be wet stamped and signed by the engineer.

7. Grading Report – The City has established a Land Disturbance Ordinance as part of its Municipal Code and will require a grading report including drawings prepared for each project. The report will need to identify where dirt will be move from, where its final placement will be, how it will be placed and methods of placement and compaction to meet the City’s land disturbance ordinance. Prior to performing any grading on the project, the Developer is to obtain a Land Disturbance Permit from the Engineering Department. All projects over 5 acres in size are also required to have Utah Pollution Discharge Elimination System (UPDES) and Storm Water Pollution Prevention (SWPP) permits from the State of Utah, Department of Environmental Quality.

Final design is to take into account the City’s design and construction standards for all publicly dedicated facilities. These standards are available through the City’s Engineering Department for a fee or online at www.wjordan.com.

A packet is to be submitted to the City’s Engineering Department that includes all design assumptions and calculations and certifies the City’s standards have been followed.

   1. – if construction of public street is required
   2. – if required as a condition of approval
   3. – if offsite grading or construction is required
   4. – if design deviates from Guidelines or Standard Requirements
   5. – Required if Subdivision Agreement is to be used

   The specific requirements of each of these categories are discussed in greater detail in the following subsections.

2. Plan Submittal – Engineers submitting plans to the City for initial screening are to provide:
   1. Five (5) sets of complete plans (check prints) sealed by a licensed landscape architect for the landscaping and irrigation plans, and by a registered Engineer in responsible charge for any civil work required for the project.
   2. One (1) copy of the completed bond estimate form with quantities for all public improvements, also quantities should be shown on construction plans.

   In addition, the following items are required as part of the initial review submittal:

   1. Two (2) copies of the geotechnical soils investigation report if the project includes construction of public streets. The report must include a pavement section recommendation for all proposed public streets.
   2. Verification of traffic impact analysis (TIA) submittal to the traffic engineer if a TIA is a condition of approval.
   3. Verification of drainage study submittal to Engineering Department if a drainage study is a condition of approval.
   4. When a project requires grading or construction off-site, One (1) copy of a notarized authorization from every private property owner on whose property work is required.
   5. Written notice of deviations. If the plan submittal contains deviations from either these guidelines or the requirements of the uniform standards and City policy, the design engineer is to as part of the initial submittal include a letter to the City outlining all deviations and substantial reasons for requesting the deviations.

   In addition to the items outlined above the Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN#) is to be placed on the cover or title sheet of the submittal. Fire flow information is to be placed on the water plan if a structure is involved and secondary water information is to be placed on the master utility plan.

   All initial submittals are reviewed for conformance to the Engineering Department initial plan screening checklist. Failure of the design architect/engineer to include the required information with the initial submittal will result in rejection of the plan submittal and the return to the design architect/engineer. If the submittal contains sufficient information to be processed for review, the submittal will be accepted, and both the design architect/engineer and developer will be notified. Following the initial plan screening, the five plan sets submitted will be circulated to various sections within the City for review and comment. The initial review will take from 3 to 4 weeks with redline reviews taking a week to return. When comments are received from the other City reviewing groups, the Engineering Department will consider the comments and review the plans for conformance to City standards. The Engineering Department will transmit the review comments to the design architect/engineer and either request the plans be resubmitted for review or that mylars be submitted following corrections.

3. Resubmittal – If the conditions of approval or the Engineering Department require a drainage study or traffic impact analysis, those studies are to be approved prior to resubmittal of the improvement plans to the Engineering Department.

   Engineers resubmitting plans to the City for review are to provide:

   1. All plans as requested from the initial review shall be submitted electronically by the Architect/Engineer in responsible charge.
   2. One (1) copy of the initial plan review comments (redlined plans).
   3. Verification of Traffic Impact Study (TIS) approval by the Engineering Department if a TIS is a condition of approval.
   4. Verification of drainage study approval by Engineering Department if a drainage study is a condition of approval.
   5. Design engineer’s certification that the grading plan is in conformance with the approved drainage study.
   6. Design engineer’s certification that the plans are in conformance with the approved traffic impact study, if required.

   Plans resubmitted to the City for subsequent review are to address all previously made land development review comments. The design engineer is to certify the grading plan conformance to the approved drainage study with the initial resubmittal and subsequently thereafter. All redesign from the previous submittal is to be clearly identified. In the event of major changes or significant redesign from the previous submittal, the design architect/engineer should contact the Engineering Department to schedule a meeting to discuss the redesign concurrent with the resubmittal. Failure to meet with the Engineering Department to resubmitting a major redesign may delay the plan process.

   Each resubmittal review process takes 7 working days. After reviewing the plans, the Engineering Department will either return the plans to the design architect/engineer to address comments or request that original and duplicate Mylars be submitted to the City for approval.

4. Required Easements and Rights-of Way – When improvement plans indicate easements to be dedicated or rights-of-way granted a complete package must be submitted prior to approval of the plans. This package must include legal descriptions, 8 ½ by 11 sketch and current vesting document. Easements may include ingress/egress, drainage, sewer, and intersite easements.
5. Final Submittal and Plan Approval – Improvement plans for projects cannot be approved until after the final plat is approved. Prior to submitting original mylars and duplicate mylars to the Engineering Department for approval, certain prerequisite items must be submitted to and approved by the City. As part of the initial plan submittal the design architect/engineer is required to submit a complete bond estimate form. This form is reviewed and if it is deemed accurate with no major design issues outstanding, an approved bond estimate form will be provided to the design architect/engineer. The process of completing the bond estimate and obtaining the required bond estimate form is the responsibility of the developer and should be commenced early on in the process.
6. Request for Deviation Procedure – All deviations from these guidelines, the uniform standards or City policy are to be submitted to and approved by the Engineering Department. There are two types of deviations the engineer may need to address during the design process. First, deviations from the guideline requirements. All deviations from the guidelines are to be listed and submitted with the plans and other documents identified in “Initial plan submittal”. Upon receipt, the deviation listing will be reviewed by the plan screener and supervisor. If the deviations are deemed to have merit, the plans will be screened and either accepted or rejected. If the deviations are considered to be only for the convenience of the design architect/engineer, the Engineering Department will review the deviation request. If the Engineering Department considers the deviations acceptable, the plans will be screened and either accepted or rejected. . If the plans are rejected and the design architect/engineer desires to appeal the decision, the appeal is to be made in writing to the City. Upon receipt of the design architect/engineer appeal, the architect/engineer will schedule a meeting with the design architect/engineer and the City staff engineer. The purpose of the meeting is to allow the design architect/engineer the opportunity to present its case to support the request. Within five working days following the appeal meeting, the Engineering Department is to inform the design architect/engineer of its decision. The decision of the Engineering Department is to be final at this time.

   The second type of deviation is a deviation from the requirements of the uniform standards and/or drawings or City policy. The architect/design engineer is to identify and request a deviation from standards in writing and submit the request along with the other documents required in subsection 4.7.B., “Initial plan submittal”. If the deviation is deemed to be in the best interest of the City and the project, the plans will be allowed to proceed through the plan review process. If the deviation as requested is determined to be unacceptable to the City, the Engineering Department is to schedule a meeting with the design architect/engineer to attempt to resolve the issue. If the deviation is rejected and the design architect/engineer desires to appeal the decision, the appeal is to be made in writing to the City Engineer. Upon receipt of the design architect/engineer appeal, the City Engineer will schedule a meeting with the design architect/engineer and the City staff engineer. The purpose of the meeting is to allow the design engineer the opportunity to present its case in support of the request. Within five working days following the appeal meeting, City staff engineer is to inform the design architect/engineer of his decision. The decision of the City Engineer is to be final. If the denial of a deviation from standards or City policy will significantly impact a project, the design architect/engineer is to contact the Engineering Department to review and resolve the design issue prior to making the initial submittal.

7. Plan Setup Requirements – The City’s Engineering Department is required to be the custodian of all improvement plans in perpetuity once they are approved. As the City moves to archiving plans on electronic media it is important that some degree of uniformity is maintained. The objective of the following plan setup requirements is to provide uniformity and standardization of plan submittal while allowing the design engineer flexibility with respect to presentation. Standardization of information along with uniformity in setup and presentation allows the review process to occur in a more orderly and timely fashion.
8. Plan Sheet Size – All plans submitted to the City of City of West Jordan must be signed and sealed by a licensed landscape architect and civil engineer who are registered in the State of Utah. Plans are to be plotted or drafted onto Mylar reproducible sheets and having an overall size of 24- inches wide by 36-inches long with margins placed accordingly. One and one-half inches on the left side and ½-inch on all remaining sides with a line thickness of 0.075 inches.
9. Title Block – Each plan sheet is to contain a title block located adjacent to the right-side margin. The design architect/engineer has the flexibility to determine the layout of the title block provided the following information is included somewhere in the title block. The title block is to include:

If an existing benchmark is not located within the one- quarter mile limit, a temporary benchmark on the project site suitable for the project construction/inspection purposes is to be established and referenced to the City datum. Every plan sheet to be utilized for construction of improvements is to indicate the referenced benchmark.
11. Drawing Scales – Drawing scales are to be a minimum of one-inch = forty feet (40’) horizontal for plan views, unless otherwise noted in these guidelines. Drawing scales are to be a minimum of one inch = 40-feet horizontal, one inch = 4-feet vertical for plan and profile when slopes are less than 5 percent and a minimum of one inch = 40-feet horizontal, one inch = 8-feet vertical for plan and profile when slopes are greater than 5 percent. Plan and profile sheets are to be arranged such that the plan view is in the top half and the profile view is in the bottom half of the sheet. Profiles are to have vertical lines at every 50-foot station and horizontal lines at every 4-foot elevation.

    All details are to be drawn to scale. The horizontal and vertical scale need not be the same. The purpose of requiring details be presented at scale is to allow the plan reviewer the ability to see spatial relationships of the various elements in the detail.

12. Plan Orientation – Generally, in lying out and developing the design, the design engineer is to consider the following hierarchy in establishing plan sheet orientation;
    1. North should be to the top or right of the sheet.
    2. Stationing is to be left to right unless the sheet orientation with respect to North will not permit. The image is to only be drawn on the front side of the Mylar.
13. Text Size and Line Weights – The final criteria for acceptance will be that all information provided on the plans be clear, concise and legible when the 24-inch x 36-inch sheet drawing is reduced to an 11-inch x 17-inch format. The following text size and line weight references are recommended for clarity but are not required. All text, which includes but not limited to dimensional text, spot elevations text, notes and other text are recommended to be Leroy (L80) or romans. Shx font type with a text height of 0.08 inches and a pen thickness of 0.25mm. Profile elevations and stations are recommended to have a text height of 0.1 inches and a pen thickness of 0.50mm. Detail titles are recommended to have bold type font with a height of 0.20 inches. Street names are recommended to also have a bold type font with text height of 0.25 inches. All existing underground utilities are recommended to be shown dashed.
14. Line Type, Symbols and Abbreviations – The City requires the use of line types, symbols and abbreviations consistent with the Uniform Standard Drawings for Public Works’ Construction Off-Site Improvements, City of West Jordan City Legends and abbreviation listings used on the plans are to only include those terms that are not included in the standards.

    Depending on the complexity and scope of the project, a complete plan set may contain plan sheets from any or all of the above referenced groups. The guidelines indicate the minimum information. Data that must be presented and should not deter the design architect/engineer from providing additional information as may be required. In the event the design engineer believes that the requirements of these guidelines are not applicable to a specific site or condition, the engineer is to request a deviation from the City. To facilitate the plan review and construction process, the City prefers that certain information be placed in a specific location on given sheets. The preferred location is identified in bold italics following the item description.

    Example: North Arrow (upper right quadrant of sheet)

    The above example indicates that the preferred location for the north arrow is in the upper right quadrant of the plan sheet. The City realizes that on rare occasions it may not be possible for the design engineer to comply with the City information placement preference. In those instances, the design engineer needs to identify all deviations from these guidelines in writing and submit the deviation listing to the City in accordance with, “Request for deviation procedure”.

16. Cover Sheet Requirements – The design architect/engineer may elect to provide a separate title sheet as part of the entire plan set or utilize the first sheet of the plan set to present additional information such as the vicinity map or quantities and thereby eliminate the need for separate sheets for those items.

Department for review and approval. The ODA will then notify the Developer in writing of that approval.

The Developer is to verify to the Engineering Department’s satisfaction that all easement and fee parcels needed for the project have been dedicated to the City. The Developer is to submit such

recorded documents to the Engineering Department for their files.

1. General – The process of City staff review and correction of Developer provided

   landscaping & irrigation ‘Released for Construction Drawings (RFCD)' is discussed in

   this Section. The review of these RFCDs has been less defined in the past, the purpose of this document is to outline what needs to be prepared, reviewed, and who does that work. Building elevations, plats, site plan drawings, construction drawings for other public infrastructure, reports, studies, calculations, and other documents used in the processing of

   a private development project through the City will be address in other Manuals. The process of reviewing these RFCDs is called the ‘Redline Review Process’. ‘Redlines’ refer to those handwritten corrections, usually written in red pencil or pen, on RFCDs, and other hand-written or typed documents, which provide direction to the Developer and

   his/her engineer/architect on what items need to be changed on these documents. They also include written documentation of alternatives the Developer might consider in order to meet the City’s requirements, or optional suggestions the Developer might wish to consider in finalizing his/her project.

   The process is initiated by the Developer submitting all of the RFCDs and required documents the City has indicated are necessary for the review of this specific project. All of the RFCD documents required by the City must be provided at the time of submittal after application, or the City staff will return the submitted materials back to the

   Developer, mark those documents that are missing on an appropriate checklist, and require that the Developer obtain the other documents prior to submitting the application packet back to the City. City staff will inventory the documents to ensure all of the documents are present, and the City’s Project Review Team will complete the detailed

   review of the documents later. The City’s project planner, engineer, Public Works staff, and other City staff involved in the review of the RFCDs are referred to as the City’s ‘Project Review Team’, and they will be responsible for reviewing the RFCDs and processing them through the City.

1. Purposes of Redlines – The purposes of the ‘Redlining’ process are as follows:

   1. Explain and clarify the City staff’s comments regarding various documents they

      have reviewed which were provided to the City staff for review as part of the

      private development project.

   1. Create documentation, which sets the standard for what will be required of the

      project, in order for it to be processed through the City.

1. Types of Comments – Redline comments come in three distinct types, they are:

   1. Comments Required to meet Code, standard, manual or other Planning

      Commission and/or City Council conditions or approved requirements – These

      are comments the Project Review Team will make on ‘redline’ documents which are required by the City of West Jordan Municipal Code, standards, manuals, or other Planning Commission or City Council approved documents. These are required to be complied with by the Developer and his/her engineer and other

      professionals and are not optional for them to consider. If the Developer wishes to contest these requirements, they must be done through the appeal process set forth in ‘Section 5.8 – Developer’s Appeal Process’ of this Section, and or the Municipal Code. City staff does not have the authority to waive or change these

      requirements.

   1. Alternatives for Code, standard, manual or other Planning Commission or City

      Council approved requirements – There are situations where a given project may

      have alternatives City staff may indicate are available to the Developer to meet City Code, standards, or manual requirements. These will be indicated in a separate ‘Project Redline Memorandum’ which will detail the alternatives available to the Developer, along with any other information City staff may wish

      to communicate to the Developer for his/her consideration. It the responsibility of the Developer to weigh and select a given alternative and indicate so in writing to the Project Review Team. The project will not proceed with further review until the Developer provides this written decision.

   1. Optional suggestions – There may also be optional suggestions the Project Review Team wishes the Developer to consider in the remaining preparations for the project. These will also be included in the ‘Project Redline Memorandum’ and will be included under the heading of ‘Optional Suggestions’. The Developer

      must provide a written response to whether these suggestions will be included in the project and can be included with the ‘Alternatives for Code Compliance’ items.

1. Types of Redline Documents – ‘Redline Documents’ typically include ‘Released for Construction Drawings’, studies, reports, calculations, and any other type of document

   which may be submitted to the Project Review Team in order to adequately address City requirements for a given project. The Project Review Team will mark on these ‘Redline

   Documents’ any corrections, which may be necessary to meet City requirements. Redline comments are to be prepared after reviewing the City’s Municipal Code, standards, and manuals.

1. All Redlines Must be Addressed in Order to Process Project – The Developer needs to note that all redlines must be addressed to the satisfaction of the City staff before the City

   Planner and City Engineer will schedule the project for Planning Commission or City Council review.

1. Private versus Public Projects – In the case of landscaping and irrigation ‘Released for Construction Drawings’, a project may contain both landscaping and irrigation areas

   which will ultimately be dedicated to the City for the City’s operation and maintenance. In such cases we will designate as ‘public’, and landscaping and irrigation areas which

   will be maintained by private entities or individuals, these we refer as ‘private’. Both ‘public’ and ‘private’ areas of landscape and irrigation are subject to the same level and quality of design, materials and workmanship. Both will have bonding requirements, but once the areas are acceptable to the City and eventual long-term owners, the bonds will

   be released per code, and they will then be maintain by the City, if they are ‘public’, and by private entities, if they are ‘private’.

1. Irrigation Water Meters – Design, specifying, and construction of water meters for landscaping and irrigation projects are subject to a separate Manual, the ‘Water Policies

   & Design Criteria Manual’. Pleases refer to this Manual when dealing with water issues. All of the information needed is contained in this document. It should also be

   noted that it has been determined that no water impact fee will be required for water meters which provide solely for a separate irrigation service.

Once the Developer delivers his projects ‘Released for Construction Drawings’ to the City, they will then be distributed to various departments for review and comment. This includes the

Engineering, Community Development, Public Works, and Fire departments. If the project is a commercial project, it will also be distributed to Utah State University for a water conservation

compliance review. The entire RFCD set of drawings will remain in one stapled set, and drawings will not be removed for separate review. Six (6) sets of RFCD are required to be submitted to the Office of Development Assistance (ODA), who will then have the ODA Project Manager distribute these 6

sets. Three (3) sets of RFCD will go to the Engineering Department, and 3 sets will be given to the Community Development Department for processing. Please see the following flowchart for additional information regarding the distribution and review of the RFCD.

The Project Review Team is responsible for reviewing the documents submitted by the

Developer in accordance with the established Municipal Code, standards, policies and design

criteria manuals, specifications, the Development Processing Manual, and any other City Council approved documents meant for this purpose. The Project Review Team will mark on the drawings, studies, or reports, any corrections that are necessary in order for the project to meet the requirements indicated above. The Project Review Team will indicate the Code,

standard, or manual requirement, which applies to the comment. If the Developer does not agree with the Project Review Team’s interpretation of regulations, or wishes to challenge the requirement, the Developer needs to understand that City staff does not have the authority to waive, or not enforce these requirements. These are City Council approved requirements, and

only the City Council can change or alter the requirement. The Developer will need to follow the appeal process outline in ‘Section 5.8– Developer’s Appeal Process’ or Municipal Code appeal process. In addition to the ‘redline’ marking of ‘Released for Construction Drawings’, or other studies

and reports, City staff will also provide a separate hand-written or typed document called a ‘Project Redline Memorandum’, which provides alternatives to the Developer for meeting the City’s codes, standards or manuals. The review will be based on code, general plan, standards and

specifications. As part of this effort, the Project Review Team will provide a written description of what the alternatives are, any concerns that City staff may have regarding the alternatives, pros and cons they may be aware of, and other items which may be useful in the Developer’s decision on which alternative to select. The Developer will then choose the course

of action he/she wishes to follow. The Developer must indicate, in writing, to the Project Review Team which alternative he/she elects to select. The project cannot be further processed until the Project Review Team receives this document. City staff may also elect to provide ‘Optional Suggestions’ they wish the Developer to consider

in finalizing the project. These will be included in the ‘Project Redline Memorandum’ under the heading of ‘Optional Suggestions’. The Developer is not required to include these suggestions in the next version of corrected documents for the project, but must provide in writing, an indication as to whether he/she intends to include them in the project.

City staff’s responsibility is to be as clear as possible in defining the issue(s) for the Developer, so the Developer and his/her engineers/architects understand the issue(s), and what the resolution to the issue(s) may be. Typically there will be one to three ‘redline reviews’ produced for a given project, unless the Developer and his/her engineer/architect are not

adhering to the ‘redline’ comments, and additional ‘redlines’ are required. If the Developer’s project requires more than 3 sets of ‘redlines’, the Developer will be charged extra for the review of these additional sets of ‘redlines’.

The Developer and his/her engineer/architect have responsibilities for making the ‘redline’ process a productive and efficient effort.

The first responsibility the Developer and his/her engineer/architect have in the process is to understand the City’s general plan, codes, standards, manuals and other documents, and that the project is planned and designed in accordance with these documents. If the Developer and his/her engineer/architect are not familiar with the City’s requirements, the project will

not be able to be processed as quickly as it would, if there aren’t extensive ‘redlines’ to the project documents. The Project Review Team has extensive experience in these types of reviews and will ‘redline’ all deficiencies and require they be changed to meet City requirements prior to further processing the project. Not following these guidelines will

result in delays to the Developer and his/her project. The Developer has the responsibility of making the corrections noted on the ‘redlines’ if they are City code, standards, manuals, or other City Council approved documents comments. These corrections are not optional and are required to be made. If the Developer disagrees with these requirements, the Developer

is required to indicate this disagreement in writing to the Project Review Team, once the Developer has received and reviewed the ‘redlines’. ‘Section 5.8 – Developer’s Appeal Process‘must be followed in resolving these types of issues. Possible modification of project requirements/agreements are closed once the Planning Commission and/or City Council

approve the project. If modifications are requested, the plan or application must go back to the Planning Commission and/or City Council for modification. The Developer has the responsibility to respond to alternatives for code compliance contained in the ‘Project Redline Memorandum’ in writing. The Developer is required to consider the

alternatives and then select one for implementation into the project. City staff may indicate a list of items available for the Developer to consider in this process, but the decision to select one alternative over another is solely for the Developer to make. The Developer has the responsibility to consider optional suggestions but is not required to

comply with these suggestions. The Developer does have the responsibility of responding to Project Review Team about whether he/she intends to implement these suggestions into the project. The Developer and his/her engineer/architect have the responsibility of being as clear as

possible in responding to the concerns expressed by the Project Review Team on the ‘Redline Documents’, so the Project Review Team understands the Developer’s concerns, and what the Developer’s proposed resolution to the concern(s) may be.

1. Building Elevations – One of the documents which may be redlined are the building elevations, if a pavilion or other such structure is associated with the landscape and

   irrigation project. These drawings depict the appearance of the structure from various vantage points and provide the Developer and City staff an opportunity to review the outward appearance of the structure to ensure it meets the City’s codes and other requirements.

1. Released for Construction Drawings – These are specific drawings produced by engineers and architects, and used by engineers, contractors, and others in the actual construction of the project. They consist of a number of different types of drawings as indicated in Table 5.3.1. The City requires that ‘Released for Construction Drawings’ be provided and

   followed in the construction of approved projects.

1. Studies and Reports – Projects may require the preparation of various types of studies and

   reports in order to quantify issues related to the project. These may include geotechnical

   reports, geologic reports, traffic impact studies, drainage studies, development plans, modifications of various master plans, etc., which may be required for the individual project. The Project Review Team will identify which reports are necessary at the beginning of the project and may require additional studies/reports as work on the project

   progresses.

1. Other Types of Documents – Each project is unique and may require other types of

   documents to be submitted for the project to be processed. As the project is processed

   through the City, the documents will become evident and will be indicated to the Developer by the Project Review Team.

The Project Review Team will provide responses to the Developer’s project submittals in three different forms. These are:

1. Project Redline Memorandum – In every case, the Project Review Team will assemble a ‘Project Redline Memorandum’ which indicates the status of the project and provides code

   requirements, ‘Alternatives for Code Compliance’ issues, ‘Optional Suggestions’, and any other comments the Project Review Team feels will help the Developer revise the ‘Redline

   Documents’ and allow them to be further processed. The Memorandum may or may not include the items listed above, depending upon the needs of the specific project. This Memorandum will act as a summary of the ‘redline’ effort by the City staff.

1. ‘Redlined Drawings’ – Most projects will contain some type of drawing or drawings. The Project Review Team may mark on these drawings any changes they wish to see

   made, as long as the comments were identified as ‘code requirements’, ‘alternatives’, or ‘Optional Suggestions’, or they may include this discussion in the ‘Project Redline Memorandum’.

1. Other Redline Documents – There are a variety of these types of documents and the Project Review Team may mark on these documents or may include a summary of concerns in the

   ‘Project Redline Memorandum’. The Developer needs to check all documents for comments, which are returned to the Developer from the Project Review Team.

The ‘Appeals Process’ to the Project Review Team’s conditions and corrections as part of the ‘Redline review process’ is contained in the City’s Municipal Code.

It needs to be noted that the appeals process will take time and will delay the Developer’s project until a resolution of the issues can be finalized.

Separate landscaping and revegetation bonds are required for these types of projects and are further described in Title 72 – Public Works, Chapter 10, Part 3. Public Improvement

Guarantees. Please keep in mind that the landscaping and revegetation bonds have different requirements and release time periods than those of the normal public improvement bond.
