Montgomery accepts substantial-completion certificates for signal and Montgomery Bend infrastructure, starts warranty periods
Summary
Council accepted certificates of substantial completion for the Buffalo Springs Drive/SH 105 traffic signal (commencement date Sept. 24, 2024) and for Montgomery Bend lift-station generator and Section 2 infrastructure (commencement date Oct. 21, 2024), which starts one-year warranty periods and clears the way for building permits in Montgomery Bend Section 2.
The Montgomery City Council on Oct. 21 approved certificates of substantial completion that mark the transition from construction to warranty and allow the city to begin one-year warranty periods on several infrastructure projects.
City engineering staff recommended a Sept. 24, 2024, substantial-completion date for the Buffalo Springs Drive and SH 105 traffic signal — the date the signal was turned on and deemed functional — and the council approved the certificate, which begins the one-year warranty period for the signal work.
Staff also reported that the Montgomery Bend sanitary sewer lift-station generator had cleared a startup inspection and that a permanent natural gas connection was in place. Council approved substantial completion and acceptance of the generator and the broader Montgomery Bend Section 2 public infrastructure, setting Oct. 21, 2024, as the commencement date for the one-year warranty period; staff said accepting Section 2 will allow building permits to be applied for and homes to be constructed.
Council voted to accept the certificates and begin warranty periods; staff will continue to hold final pay estimates until remaining punch-list items and CCTV/video evidence (on separate sewer rehab projects) are satisfactorily addressed.
Next steps: issuance of building permits in Montgomery Bend Section 2 and continued contract closeout and final payment processing once punch-list and documentation are complete.
