Attention: Mr. Patrick McCarthy-Village Manager
Re: Spartan Estates 2nd Edition
Village of Chatham
Initial Letter of Credit
Pat,
In response to the developer’s request for approval of the final plat, a Letter of Credit (LOC)
must be established to cover all outstanding public improvements that have not yet been
completed. All public improvements have been completed and accepted with the exception
of the sidewalk and ADA ramps. Accordingly, the following remaining items, quantities,
and costs have been determined and agreed upon with the developer’s engineer:
4" PCC sidewalk, 5' wide:
6,244 sq ft @ $8.50/sq ft = $54,000
ADA ramps with detectable warnings and curbs:
2 @ $1,000 each = $2,000
Total Estimated Cost: $56,000
The required Letter of Credit shall be established at 110% of the total cost:
$56,000 × 110% = $61,600
Periodic site inspections will be performed to verify warranty work and completion of the
remaining public improvements. At the developer’s request, we will review completed work
for compliance and, if appropriate, issue a recommendation of reduction to the Letter of
Credit.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information.
Sincerely,
CRAWFORD, MURPHY & TILLY, INC.
James M. Michael, P.E.
