Standards for Construction 

The City of Grandview requires that improvements to infrastructure that will become publicly owned by the City such as streets, storm sewers, sanitary sewers, and sidewalks follow the Kansas City Metropolitan Chapter of the American Public Works Association. The following link provides information on KC Metro APWA specifications and requirements.
