Subdivision Inspection Fee Increase, Additional Information
As requested, we have performed the following comparison between the current and proposed Agawam
subdivision inspection fees and to those of several Pioneer Valley communities. We used "Windermere
Estates", off of Mill Street, as a typical subdivision to model the rates. Agawam's inspection fee is per linear
foot of installed item for: water, sewer, drain, and roadway. Of the other communities in the comparison only
South Hadley's rate is based on a similar structure where they impose per linear foot inspection fee for: sewer,
storm, road construction, and sidewalks. The other community's fees are based on a linear footage of the
roadway itself.
Community Length Rate Fee Ditt. Proposed Vs. Cost per LF of Roadway LF LF
Agawam-Current 3079.33 $ 0.75 $ 2,309.50 $ 1,385.70 $ 3.24
Agawam-Proposed 3079.33 $ 1.20 $ 3,695.20 $ -$ 5.18
West Sll"ingfield 713.33 $ 5.00 $ 3,566.65 $ 128.55 $ 5.00
Amherst 713.33 $ . 6.00 $4,279.98 $ (584.78) $ 6.00
South Hadley See Table Below $ 6,815.99 $ (3,120.79) $ 9.56
South Hadley Inspection Fees
Inspection Item Length Rate Fee LF LF
Sewer 775 $ 2.00 $1,550.00
Drainage 820 $ 2.00 $1,640.00
Road 713.33 $ 3.00 $ 2,139.99
Sidewalk 1486 $ 1.00 $1,486.00
Total Fee $6,815.99
Total Feel Roadway Length $ 9.56
The proposed inspection fee increase is an adjustment of the existing fee by the Consumer Price Index
(CPI) to bring it up to current level. The CPI is an accepted inflation index, and as code specifies inflation a
warrant for increasing the unit inspection fee. Although the change is a 60% increase, this change is appropriate
because the fee has not been adjusted for about 18 years. Developers have enjoyed the benefit of paying the fee
at the 1991 level, shifting an ever increasing burden to the Town.

(3) Extension of time. If the 'time schedule is altered, notice must be given to the
Planning Board which, at its discretion, may extend the time of completion,
provided that any securities then held by the Town must be reviewed and increased
as necessary to cov~r any increased.cosl'of improvements. As part of the increased
costs, the cost increment due to inflation of construction costs shall be added to the
bond or cash security posted by the applicant. The Engineering News Record
Construction Cost or similar index most accurately reflecting Agawam's liability,
as determined by the City Engineer, will be used to arrive at the increased
construction cost. [Amended 12-5-1996],
(4) Upon' request, partial release of securities shall be made upon acceptance by the
Board of the work COf"-"ted.
(5) Building lot bond. A performance bond will be required of contractors or other
pal1ies constructing residences upon vacant lots where curbs, sidewalks, treebelts
and other municipal facilities have been placed at' the lot. frontage. The
requirements for this bond shall conform to the applicable provisions of Subsection
H(2) of these regulations. The bond amount shall be br.sed upon the potential
damage of Town facilities plus administrative costs. It shall be' the responsibility of
the developer to ensure that ,all permitted but uncompleted residences existing in
the subdivision' at the time of suhdivision bond rele",~ have proper building lot
honds.
(6) Inspection fee. [Added 3-21-1991]
(a) There shall be a fee instituted to pay for the costs pf inspection.' The fee shall
be based upon the linear footage of roadway, water lines, sewer lines and
drainage lines. The footage shall be as measiired on the approved definitive
plans. Any substantial increase in constructed footages over the plan footage
shall result in a prorated increase in fee. Roadways shall be measured along
the center line, from its beginning intersection with an existing street layout
line or other beginning point to the final intersection with another street or
existing layout line, so as to encompass all proposed rights-of-way.
Culs-de-sac shall be measured on the basis of a center line extendi ng straight
through the center of the cul-de-sac to the far edge of the layout. Water line
connections and building sewers in the right-of-way will not be included in
the measurement for fee determination, except where their length exceeds 40
feet.
(b) The unit rate of inspection fee levied shall be $0.75 per linear foot measured
on each of the four categories cited above. The total inspection fee shall be
equal to the unit rate times the total footage of each line category of
inspection (roadway, water, sewer and drain lines) as measured by the City
Engineer. The fees described above must be paid prior to the commencement
of construction, but these fees need only be paid beforehand for the particular
phase of work to' be undel1aken, e.g., roadway, sewer, water ,or drain.[When
warranted by inflation or other factors, the unit inspection fee will be
increased as proposed by the Agawam Department of Public Works and
approved by the Planning Board] ,

MEMORANDUM
Subdivision Inspection Fee Increase
The Department of Public Works proposes that the subdivision inspection fee outlined in Town subdivision
code be increased to $1.20 per linear foot from the current $0.75. The fee does not appear to have been adjusted
since its inception in 1991.
