Background Analysis
The Chase Bank project is located on the northwest corner of Highway 111 and Monterey

submitted a Faithful Performance Bond in the amount of $45,728.10 and a Labor and
Materials Bond in the amount of $22,864.05 for off-site improvements. Off-site
improvements to Highway 111 include the construction of a right-turn lane into the project,
sidewalk, driveway, and curb ramp modification.
All off-site improvements are complete for this project. The one-year maintenance
period has passed. Staff has recently inspected the constructed off-site improvements
and verified that improvements are still in acceptable condition. Therefore, staff
recommends that the City Council accept off-site improvements and authorize the release
of bonds in the total amount of $68,592.15 for the Chase Bank Project.
Fiscal Analysis
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

given for faithful performance of the improvement work and that the security shall
not be reduced to an amount less than fifty percent (50%) of the total improvement
security given for faithful performance until final completion and acceptance of the

improvement security which would reduce such security to an amount below that
required to guarantee the completion of the improvement work and any other
obligation imposed by this Agreement.

by the City Engineer to be required to assure the performance of any other
obligations secured by the Security. The balance of the security shall be released
upon the settlement of all claims and obligations for which the security was given.

breach of DEVELOPER's obligations under this Agreement. CITY shall have the
right, subject to this Section, to draw upon or utilize the appropriate security to
mitigate CITY's damages in event of default by DEVELOPER. The right of CITY
to draw upon or utilize the security is additional to and not in lieu of any other
remedy available to CITY. It is specifically recognized that the estimated costs and
security amounts may not reflect the actual cost of construction or installation of
the improvements and, therefore, CITY's damages for DEVELOPER's default
shall be measured by the cost of completing the required improvements. The sums
provided by the improvement security may be used by CITY for the completion of
the public improvements in accordance with the improvement plans and
specifications contained herein.
Revised

over the work and prosecute the same to completion, by contract or by any other
method CITY may deem advisable, for the account and at the expense of
DEVELOPER, and DEVELOPER's surety shall be liable to CITY for any excess
cost or damages occasioned CITY thereby. In such event, CITY, without liability
for so doing, may take possession of, and utilize in completing the work, such
materials, appliances, plants and other property belonging to DEVELOPER as may
be on the site of the work and necessary for performance of the work.
(d) Failure of DEVELOPER to comply with the terms of this Agreement shall
constitute consent to the filing by CITY of notice of violation against all proposed
improvements in the DEVELOPMENT, or to rescind the approval or otherwise
revert the DEVELOPMENT to acreage. The remedy provided by this subsection (c)
is in addition to and not in lieu of other remedies available to CITY. DEVELOPER
agrees that the choice of remedy or remedies for DEVELOPER's breach shall be in
the discretion of CITY.
(e) In the event that DEVELOPER fails to perform any obligation hereunder,
DEVELOPER agrees to pay all costs and expenses incurred by CITY in securing
performance of such obligations, including but not limited to fees and charges of
architects, engineers, attorneys, other professionals, and court costs.
Revised
9/12/17 10

or to declare a breach, shall not be construed as a waiver of that default or breach or
any subsequent default or breach of DEVELOPER.

any of the requirements of this Agreement or the improvement plans and specifications
referred to herein, DEVELOPER shall without delay and without any cost to CITY, repair or

waiver of defects by CITY.
(18) Indemnitv/Hold Harmless. CITY or any officer or employee thereof shall
not be liable for any injury to persons or property occasioned by reason of the acts or
omissions of DEVELOPER, its agents, or employees, contractors and subcontractors in the
performance of this Agreement. DEVELOPER further agrees to protect, defend, indemnify
and hold harmless CITY, its officials, boards and commissions, and members thereof, agents
and employees from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, liability or loss of any sort,
because of, or arising out of, acts or omissions of DEVELOPER, its agents, employees,
contractors and subcontractors in the performance of this Agreement, except for such claims,
demands, causes of action, liability, or loss arising out of the sole active negligence of the
CITY, its officials, boards, commissions, the members thereof, agents, and employees,
including all claims, demands, causes of action, liability, or loss because of, or arising out of,
in whole or in part, the design or construction of the improvements. This indemnification and
agreement to hold harmless shall extend to injuries to persons and damages or taking of
property resulting from the design or construction of said DEVELOPMENT, and the public
improvements as provided herein, and in addition, to adjacent property owners as a
consequence of the diversion of waters from the design and construction of public drainage
systems, streets and other public improvements. Acceptance by CITY of the improvements shall
not constitute an assumption by CITY of any responsibility for any damage or taking covered by
Revised
9/12/17 14
this Section. CITY shall not be responsible for the design or construction of the property to be
dedicated or the improvements pursuant to the approved improvement plans or map, regardless of
any negligent action or inaction taken by CITY in approving the plans or map, unless the particular
improvement design was specifically required by CITY over written objection by DEVELOPER
submitted to the City Engineer before approval of the particular improvement design, which
objection indicated that the particular improvement design was dangerous or defective and
suggested an alternative safe and feasible design.
After acceptance of the improvements, the DEVELOPER shall remain obligated to
eliminate any defect in design or dangerous condition caused by the design or construction defect;
however, DEVELOPER shall not be responsible for routine maintenance. Provisions of this
Section shall remain in full force and effect for ten (10) years following the acceptance by CITY
of the improvements. It is the intent of this Section that DEVELOPER shall be responsible for all
liability for design and construction of the improvements installed or work done pursuant to this
Agreement and that CITY shall not be liable for any negligence, nonfeasance, misfeasance or
malfeasance in approving, reviewing, checking, or inspecting any work or construction. The
improvement security shall not be required to cover the provisions of this Section.
DEVELOPER shall reimburse CITY for all costs and expenses (including but not limited
to fees and charges of architects, engineers, attorneys, and other professionals, and court costs)
incurred by CITY in enforcing the provisions of this Section.
(19) Personal Nature of DEVELOPER'S Obli atg ions. All of DEVELOPER's
obligations under this agreement are and shall remain the personal obligations of
DEVELOPER notwithstanding a transfer of all or any part of the property within the
DEVELOPMENT subject to this Agreement, and DEVELOPER shall not be entitled to assign
Revised
9/12/17 15
its obligations under this Agreement to any transferee of all or any part of the property within
the DEVELOPMENT or to any other third party without the express written consent of CITY.
(20) Sale or Disnosition of DEVELOPMENT. Seller or other DEVELOPER
may request a novation of this Agreement and a substitution of security. Upon approval of the
novation and substitution of securities, the DEVELOPER may request a release or reduction of
the securities required by this Agreement. Nothing in the novation shall relieve the
DEVELOPER of the obligations under Section (17) for the work or improvement done by
DEVELOPER.
(21) Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance of this
Agreement.
(22) Time for Commencement of Work; Time Extensions. DEVELOPER shall
commence substantial construction of the improvements required by this Agreement not later
than six (6) months after the date of this Agreement. In the event good cause exists as
determined by the City Engineer, the time for commencement of construction or completion of
the improvements hereunder may be extended for a period or periods not exceeding a total of
two (2) additional years. The extension shall be executed in writing by the City Engineer. Any
such extension may be granted without notice to DEVELOPER's surety and shall not affect
the validity of this Agreement or release the surety or sureties on any security given for this
Agreement. The City Engineer shall be the sole and final judge as to whether or not good cause
has been shown to entitle DEVELOPER to an extension. Delay, other than delay in the
commencement of work, resulting from an act of CITY, act of God, or by storm or inclement
weather, strikes, boycotts or similar political actions which prevents the conducting of work, which
DEVELOPER could not have reasonably foreseen and, furthermore, were not caused by or
contributed to by DEVELOPER, shall constitute good cause for and extension of the time for
Revised
9n2n7 16
completion. As a condition of such extension, the City Engineer may require DEVELOPER to
furnish new security guaranteeing performance of this Agreement as extended in an increased
amount as necessary to compensate for any increase in construction costs as determined by the
City Engineer.
(23) No Vesting oughts. Performance by DEVELOPER of this Agreement shall
not be construed to vest DEVELOPER's rights with respect to any change in any zoning or
building law or ordinance.
(24) Notices. All notices required or provided for under this Agreement shall be
in writing and delivered in person or sent by mail, postage prepaid and addressed as provided
in this Section. Notice shall be effective on the date it is delivered in person, or, if mailed, on
