Utility Construction Permit U14006554
Oscar,
As the utility construction phase of this project moves towards completion, the following items are required to be completed before the public works utility permit can be signed off
and Certificate of Occupancy can be issued by the City of Renton’s Building Department. Please use this letter as a project closeout checklist to keep your project moving smoothly through
City process. These items include the following:
Construction: Jan Illian/Pat Miller
1. Complete all utility, drainage, paving, grading, lighting, landscaping and street improvements for the project, including offsite and onsite. This includes completion of all outstanding
punchlist items as requested from the Utility Inspector and/or the City Maintenance Division. The construction permit must be signed off by the inspector, Pat Miller (206-794-6162)
prior to request of Certificate of Occupancy.
2. Bill of Sale. This document must be prepared and submitted to the City for review and approval prior permit sign off. This document shall reflect all public improvements to be turned
over to the City. Please provide an original signed and notarized copy.
3. Cost Data Inventory. This document must be prepared and submitted to the City for review and approval prior to request of Certificate of Occupancy. The Cost Data Inventory must reflect
the actual cost of construction in dollars (value) for each utility or road improvements the City will own and maintain. The call outs on the Cost Data should match the Bill of Sale.
4. As-Builts Civil Plans. Provide two full size sets of paper copies. The inspector will review the asbuilts and create a list of punchlist items. Once approved by the inspector, final
“As built” construction mylars must be submitted for our permanent records. As-builts are required to be on file with the City. All plan sheets, including those constructed per design,
must be verified, stamped and signed as “As-Built” by a licensed surveyor or engineer. The mylars shall be labeled “As-Built” in large block letters and stamped by a PE or PLS. Submit
a CAD file along with your As-Built drawings.
5. Maintenance Bond/Maintenance & Defect Agreement. After the construction permit is signed off by the inspector, a two year Maintenance Bond must be posted with the City for 20% of
the value of the public improvements to be turned over to the City. The amount will be 20% of the total costs shown on
the Cost Data. The original construction bond will be released after the maintenance bond is accepted by the City. Maintenance Bond must be on file with the City prior to request of
Certificate of Occupancy.
6. Life Safety. Completion of all life safety items.
7. Easements/Deed of Dedication. Separate utility easements and deeds of dedication, where applicable will be required to be submitted for review, approval and recorded by the City.
We will request final signature and notarization once our Technical Services Section has approved the legal description and map exhibits. Please include legal description as “Exhibit

staff, the property owner, contractor and surveyor is essential. Please note that review and approval may take several weeks. If you have any questions or would like to schedule an
