§ 2-28-29. Inspection and enforcement.

(a)

At least forty-eight (48) hours prior to beginning any maintenance or permitted work, the permittee shall notify the right-of-way manager as to when the work shall commence. Within forty-eight (48) hours after completion of any maintenance or permitted work, the permittee shall notify the right-of-way manager that maintenance or the permitted work has ended. Upon final inspection of work, any and all items found not to be in compliance with this article or the terms of the permit shall be promptly corrected by the permittee.

(b)

A permittee may be required to re-excavate, expose or take other reasonable measures necessary to allow for inspection of work.

(c)

Completed work shall be accepted by the county as complying with the permit provided all conditions are met including the submittal of as-built drawings signed and sealed by a Florida licensed engineer or surveyor. As-built information shall include vertical and horizontal data, in state plane coordinates, of all underground facilities constructed or adjusted. In the event pneumatic missiling or air forced drilling is employed excavation shall be done to locate the vertical and horizontal location of underground facilities constructed or adjusted at least every five (5) feet longitudinally along said facility. Directional drill logs are an acceptable form of as-built location data submittal. If the engineering drawings provided require revision based upon actual installation, the permittee shall promptly provide revised engineering drawings. As-built plans shall depict the actual location of a facility, other than aerial facilities, after construction as determined by actual physical measurement in the horizontal and vertical plane. Copies of directional bore logs provided by a Florida licensed engineer, surveyor or contractor including relocatable horizontal and vertical plane data shall constitute an as-built plan.

(d)

Pursuant to Section 162.21(2), Florida Statutes, the right-of-way manager is designated as a code enforcement officer and is authorized to designate subordinate right-of-way inspectors as code enforcement officers. Such designated personnel, in addition to the authority provided to them under this article, shall have the authority to issue citations for violations of this article to the full extent permitted by law. Personnel so designated shall not begin exercising this citation authority prior to the completion of any training or qualification requirements established by the county or as required by law. Enforcement procedures and sanctions for such citations shall be as provided by county code and permitted under Chapter 162, Florida Statutes.
