BONDING REQUIREMENTS
7. Upon initial review, it appears the following bonding requirements may apply to this project:
Performance Guarantees/Engineer's Estimates
Individual Performance Guarantees will be required for the following subdivision improvements if the
interior streets are to be private:
. Perimeter Street Right of Way Improvements including right of way pavement (entrance,accel, decel,
passing blister), stone shoulder, curbs, asphalt path/concrete sidewalk, etc.
Individual Performance Guarantees will be required for the following subdivision improvements if the
interior streets are to be public:
. Streets (perimeter road improvements may be bonded separately)
. - Curb and Gutters
. Street Signs
. Builder's Lot Sidewalks
. All other right of way Sidewalks/Asphalt Paths
The amount of the Performance Guarantee is based upon a certified Engineer's Estimate for 100% of the cost
- of labor and materials to construct the individual improvements, to be provided by the design engineer.
Please provide detailed Engineers Estimates for each improvement including unit costs, quantities, materials
and types of materials, etc. Upon completion and release of individual Performance Guarantees, a three-year
Maintenance Guarantee will be required. The Maintenance Guarantee amount is based upon 15% of the
Performance amount for Streets and Curbs and 10% of the Performance amount for all other improvements. .
Performance Guarantees may be Performance or Subdivision Bonds or Irrevocable Letters of Credit. Please
reference the enclosures for more detailed explanation of our procedures.
Other jurisdictions:
This development is within the service area of the Indianapolis Water Company for water and within the
service area of the Clay Township Regional Waste District for sanitary sewers. These entities should be
contacted directly regarding bonding requirements.
Storm sewers/drainage fall within the jurisdiction of the Hamilton County Surveyor's Office. It is our
understanding that they will require bonding for storm sewers/drainage including subsurface drains. They
will also require bonding for erosion control and for monuments and markers. Please contact the Surveyor's
office directly to verify their requirements.
Right of Way Permit and Bonding .
Any work in the dedicated right of way of 116th Street and/or Hoover Road, not included in construction
covered by a Performance Guarantee, will require a Right of Way Permit and a License & Permit bond. The
bond amount will be determined by the number of instances of work in the right of way @$2,000.00 per
instance. The drawing indicates a water main extension under 116th Street. This will require a permit. We
request that this crossing be a directional bore. Any open cut in the pavement of 116th Street and/or
Hoover Road will require separate Board of Public Works and Safety approval.
8. We have engaged Crossroad Engineers, PC to review all drainage plans and drainage calculations submitted
for review to this office. We will share Crossroad's comments as they are received. When construction plans
are submitted for T.A.C. review for this development, please provide 2-sets of plans and calculations to allow
us to send the extra set to Crossroad and save some time in the review process.
COMMENTS - PRIMARY PLAT

14. Please label the curb return radii at the intersection of 116th Street and the entrance. These shall
meet the minimum City standard and shall be labeled on the plat.
15. At the entrance, a deceleration lane, an acceleration lane, and a passing blister will be required and
must be indicated on the plat. The passing blister requirement shall be waived if the entrance is
aligned with an existing entrance. The dimensions of these auxiliary lanes will be according to the
road functional classification prescribed by the City of Carmel Twenty Year Thoroughfare Plan.
16. Please indicate widening across the property frontage or to the extents of the auxiliary lanes,
whichever is greater for 15-foot travel lanes on the property side of 116th Street and Hoover Road.
Auxiliary lanes shall be measured from the edge of the 15- foot travel lane. Please add a note to the
site plan that all existing pavement shall be sawcut to a clean edge where new pavement (for
widening or for auxiliary lanes) is to be installed adjacent to existing pavement. Any new
pavement placed in the 116th Street and Hoover Road Road rights-of-way for widening, for
auxiliary lanes and for each entrance up to the mainline right-of-way limit shall meet the following
section: 1.5 inches HMA #11 surface on 2 inches HMA #8 binder on 3 inches HMA #5D base on
7 inches #53 stone on 4 inches #2 stone or match existing, \vhichever is greater. Please delineate
this section with hatching on the plans and appropriate reference in the legend.
17. The City typically requires 1" milling \vith 1.5" R.A.C. #11 resurfacing for the entire width of the
existing roadway across the property frontage or to the limits of the auxiliary lanes, whichever is
greater. The roadway would then also need to be restriped with thermoplastic striping. Please
develop a plan for the restriping and for striping of the auxiliary lanes and submit with the
Secondary Plat submittal. For the secondary plat when submitted, please add a note to this plan
that all striping shall be thermoplastic. Please delineate the milling and resurfacing areas with
hatching on the plans and appropriate reference in the legend.
18. Please provide a right-of-way width of 50 feet and a back curb to back curb pavement width of 30
feet for each of the s:ubdivision streets.
19. Please edit or provide a detail which requires the following pavement section for the paving of the
proposed interior public streets: 1.5 inches HMA #11 surface on 2 inches HMA #8 binder on 3
inches HMA #5D base on 7 inches #53 stone. Please add a note that all paving must be completed
in one paving season.
20. Please indicate a corner cut that will accommodate a 120-foot radius roundabout centered at the
intersection of 116th Street and Hoover Road. The Department requires that the Developer
dedicate this right-of-way. The Department understands that this dedication will go through the
Board of Public Works in the future but needs the right-of-way to be shown on the plans to ensure
that the site plan is able to accommodate the future construction.
21. All lots adj acent to side yard easements should be wide enough to accommodate the anticipated
house model and any planned driveways such that there is no encroachment in the easements.
22. A three-foot wide #73 stone shoulder at a minimum depth of six inches is required across the
property frontage or to the limits of the auxiliary lanes, whichever is greater. Subsurface drain is
required beneath the stone shoulder.

percent). Permeability is very slow (< 0.06 in/hr) in the most restrictive layer above 60 inches.
Available water capacity is moderate (6.1 inches in the upper 60 inches). The pH of the surface
layer in non-limed areas is 5.1 to 6.5. Droughtiness and water erosion are management concerns
for crop production. This soil is designated potentially highly erodible (class 2) in the Highly
Erodible Land (HEL) classification system.
MmC2 Miami silt loam, 6 to 12 percent slopes, eroded
This is a moderately well drained soil with a seasonal high water table at 2.0 to 3.5 ft. This soil
is located on side slopes on till plains; slopes are 6 to 12 percent. The native vegetation is
hardwood forest. The surface layer is silt loam and has moderately low organic matter content
(1.0 to 2.0 percent). Permeability is very slow (< 0.06 in/hr) in the most restrictive layer above
60 inches. Available water capacity is moderate (6.1 inches in the upper 60 inches). The pH of
the surface layer in non-limed areas is 5.1 to 6.5. Droughtiness and water erosion are
management concerns for crop production. This soil is designated potentially highly erodible
(class 2) in the Highly Erodible Land (HEL) classification system
MoC3 Miami clay loam, 6 to 12 percent slopes, severely eroded
This is a moderately well drained soil with a seasonal high water table at 2.0 to 3.5 ft. This soil
is located on sideslopes on till plains; slopes are 6 to 12 percent. The native vegetation is
hardwood forest. The surface layer is clay loam and has low organic matter content (0.5 to 1.0
percent). Permeability is very slow (< 0.06 in/hr) in the most restrictive layer above 60 inches.
Available water capacity is low (4.5 inches in the upper 60 inches). The pH of the surface layer
in non-limed areas is 5.1 to 6.5. Droughtiness and water erosion are management concerns for
crop production. This soil is designated highly erodible (class 1) in the Highly Erodible Land
(HEL) classification system.
Sh Shoals silt loam
This is a somewhat poorly drained soil with a seasonal high water table at 0.5 to 2.0 ft. This soil
is located on flood plains; slopes are 0 to 2 percent. The native vegetation is hardwood forest.
The surface layer is silt loam and has moderate organic matter content (2.0 to 4.0 percent).
Permeability is moderate (0.6 to 2 in/hr) in the most restrictive layer above 60 inches. Available
water capacity is high (11.6 inches in the upper 60 inches). The pH of the surface layer in non-
limed areas is 6.0 to 7.3. Wetness and flooding hazard are management concerns for crop
production. This soil responds well to tile drainage; it is designated not highly erodible (class 3)
in the Highly Erodible Land (HEL) classification system. Because of the flooding hazard, this
soil has a severe limitation for most non-ag uses.
Additional information about soils is available in the "Soil Survey of Hamilton County". The engineer and/or
developer should consider the need for an onsite soils investigation.
I have reviewed the plans for this project and have the following comments:
· The soils are quite variable on this site. Some (MmB2, MmC2, MoC2) have few limitations
for residential development while the Br and Sh have significant limitations. Maintaining the
existing drainage way from the back of lot 12, through lots 12, 18 & 19 would eliminate
some major issues with these high water table soils. Planning lots in the middle of established
drainage ways is not good planning.
