Construction
When a contract is awarded to improve a road, an inspector is assigned to validate all items to be paid as agreed to in the contract. These projects may consist of widening intersections, installing sidewalks, installing storm sewers or resurfacing roads. This will also include multi-million dollar projects. The Engineer's Office will also assist any of the 12 Townships with road improvements; whether it be design, inspection or total administration of the contract.
Subdivision
Before any subdivision can be accepted by the County Commissioners and turned over to the governing Township, all work included on the approved improvement plan, must be completed to the satisfaction of the Hamilton County Engineer and the Township. After approval has been given for construction of a new subdivision within Hamilton County, an inspector is assigned to the site. Typically, there are 70 or 80 active subdivisions throughout the County in different stages of development. Two inspectors perform the majority of these inspections. They are on the project from the initial grading and clearing, ensuring safe sight distance, curb inspections, driveways, sidewalks and street inspections from subgrade to final asphalt or concrete. The subdivision developer pays all inspection fees.
