Sorrento Square Retaining Walls Grading Plan Comments:

1- It is not clear what sheets are submitted as a grading plan for review. Is Grading Plan No. T07BU01842 submitted for reference or as a grading plan for the proposed retaining wall? If it was submitted for review, it does not have enough wall construction information to review. The wall detail sheets do not appear to be part of the grading plan submittal. This Office recommends submitting two copies of one set of grading plan that has all the required grading plan information, all the sheets are numbered properly and all the construction information and details to build the proposed wall.
2- Show, on the plan, the location(s) of the wall (s) cross section details.
3- Show on the cross section details the adjacent wash and its floodplain, and verify that the walls footings will be below the wash scour depth, in accordance with the hydraulic analysis, where applicable.
4- Provide the proper title block that includes the project administrative address on the cover sheet, and the correct Grading Plan Case Number (i.e. T11BU00063) on every sheet.
5- Show and label the actual grading limits. Include the grading limits symbol in the legend.
6- Provide the actual cut and fill quantities.
7- Show clearly existing and proposed grades.
8- Disturbed area must be reseeded.
9- Provide the location of the basis of elevation.
10- Provide the tie to the basis of bearing.
11- Add the following general notes:

a. The approved Grading Plan is the only acceptable construction plan onsite. The Contractor may not use any other plans, such as the approved Tentative Plat and/or Development Plan, for construction purposes. The Contractor may ask the Planning and Development Services Department Inspector to consult with the other approved plans for additional information or details that might not be included on the approved grading plan but needed for completion of work.
b. Any proposed engineering work to be done below grade (i.e. toe-downs, cutoff walls, drainage pipes/structures, etc.) shall not be back filled until Development Services Inspector inspects the work and approves it.
c. The contractor is not permitted to make an autonomous decision to carry out construction field changes without prior written approval from the Engineer of Record and the City of Tucson Planning and Development Services Department.
