PRESERVE DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE PROGRAM
TRACT MAP NO. 16420-8
(Block 8 and a Portion of Block 6)
This CONSTRUCTION CREDIT AND REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into this 6th day of October (“Effective Date”), by and between CITY OF CHINO, a California municipal corporation (“City”), and CHINO PRESERVE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (“Developer”). City and Developer are sometimes hereinafter referred to individually as “Party” and jointly as “Parties”.

RECITALS
A. The City’s Planning Commission approved an “A” Level Master Site Approval and Tentative Tract Map No. 16420 to subdivide approximately 522 acres of land generally located south of Pine Avenue, west of Hellman Avenue, and north and east of Chino Corona Road, within the South of Pine area of The Preserve. The Master Site Approval was subsequently modified to facilitate development of the master plan area and associated public improvements. Tentative Tract Map No. 16420-8, as presented by the Developer, consists of the subdivision of Block 8 and a portion of Block 6 for development of the previously approved residential community (the “Project”). The Project is located on certain real property in the City of Chino, County of San Bernardino, State of California, described in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the “Property”).

B. Developer has requested from City certain entitlements and/or permits for the Project, and City has granted the entitlements and/or permits subject to certain conditions of approval provided on Exhibit B which will require certain public improvements to be constructed in excess of those applicable to the Project (“Conditions of Approval”).

C. The Conditions of Approval also require Developer to pay Development Impact Fees (“DIFs”), as established in Chapter 3.45 of the Chino Municipal Code (“DIF Ordinance”). The DIFs have been established by City to finance public facilities in furtherance of the goals and objectives of City’s general plan, various facility master plans, capital improvement plans, and the nexus reports described in the DIF Ordinance (“Nexus Reports”).

D. Pursuant to the DIF Ordinance and the Conditions of Approval, Developer owes DIFs for the Project.

E. Developer has elected to construct certain public improvements in excess of those specifically required by the Conditions of Approval which are specified on Exhibit C (“Public Improvements”).

F. The DIF Ordinance provides that if, as a condition of approval of a development project, a developer constructs a public facility identified in the Nexus Reports, for which a development impact fee is imposed, Developer shall be eligible to receive a fee credit toward the DIFs imposed 2 on the Project for the same type of public facility so constructed, and shall be entitled to reimbursement for eligible costs of constructing the public facility, provided that developer complies with the requirements of the DIF Ordinance as it may be amended from time to time. The DIF Ordinance specifically requires that the developer and City enter into a credit and reimbursement agreement.

G. City and Developer desire to enter into this Agreement for the following purposes: (i) to provide for the timely construction and completion of the Public Improvements, (ii) to ensure that construction of the Public Improvements is undertaken in accordance with the Plans and Specifications (defined in Section 2.1 below), and the laws and ordinances pertaining to the construction of public improvements, (iii) to provide the methodology for establishing the reimbursement amounts and/or DIF credits to which Developer may be entitled after completion of the Public Improvements (“Reimbursement/Credits”); and (iv) the requirements for Developer’s transfer or application of all or any portion of the Reimbursement/Credits to third party.

NOW, THEREFORE, for the purposes set forth herein, Developer and City hereby agree as follows:

AGREEMENT:

1. Incorporation of Recitals. The Parties hereby affirm the facts set forth in the Recitals above and agree to the incorporation of the Recitals as though fully set forth herein.

Developer shall provide all equipment, tools, materials, labor, tests, design work, and engineering services necessary to fully and adequately complete the Public Improvements.

2.1 Pre-approval of Plans and Specifications. Developer is prohibited from commencing work on any portion of the Public Improvements until all plans and specifications for the Public Improvements have been submitted to and approved in writing by City (“Plans and Specifications”). Approval by City shall not relieve Developer from ensuring that all Public Improvements conform to all applicable laws, ordinances and regulation under California and federal law.

2.2 Permits and Notices. Prior to commencing any work, Developer (through its contractors) shall, at its sole cost and expense, obtain all necessary permits and licenses and give all necessary and incidental notices required for the lawful construction of the Public Improvements and performance of Developer’s obligations under this Agreement. Developer shall conduct the work in full compliance with the regulations, rules, and other requirements contained in this Agreement, any applicable law, and any permit or license issued to Developer.

2.3 Public Works Requirements. Developer shall ensure that the bidding, awarding, and construction of the Public Improvements are undertaken as if such Public Improvements were constructed as a public works project under the direction and authority of City, pursuant to all provisions of law applicable to governmental entities. Developer shall also comply with the requirements of City’s Bidding and Contract Requirements for Public Improvements Policy, as adopted by City Council, hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of hereof (as may be amended from time to time). (a) Prior to soliciting or awarding the bid for any portion of the Public Improvements, Developer shall submit the bid packet and a set of construction drawings signed by Developer or another authorized representative designated by Developer for the work being bid to City 3 Engineer or his designee for review and approval, which approval shall be granted or denied within fifteen (15) calendar days after submission of such bid packet. If City Engineer denies approval of such bid packet and construction drawings, City Engineer shall specify the reasons for such disapproval and Developer shall resubmit a revised bid packet for review and approval until such approval is obtained. (b) Developer shall obtain bids for the construction of the Public Improvements in a manner which has been approved by City Engineer. Developer shall provide City Engineer with copies of all bids received from California licensed contractors and a bid summary in a form approved by City Engineer to assure that the contractor/subcontractors adhere to the applicable legal requirements for public works projects. The contract or contracts for the construction of the Public Improvements shall be awarded to the responsible bidder(s) submitting the lowest responsive bid(s) for the construction of the Public Improvements. Developer shall enter into a construction contract with each contractor selected to perform work on the Public Improvements (after competitive bidding as set forth above), (each, a “Construction Contract”) for the performance of the work set forth in the selected bid, and the terms of each Construction Contract entered into by Developer and each contractor/subcontractor shall be reasonably acceptable to City Engineer. Developer shall submit to City a copy of each executed Construction Contract for the Public Improvements within fifteen (15) days after execution thereof. (c) Developer’s general contractor for the construction of the Public Improvement (“General Contractor”) shall pay prevailing wages (in accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of Chapter 1, Part 7, Division 2 of the Labor Code) and otherwise comply with applicable provisions of the Labor Code, the Government Code, the Civil Code, and the Public Contract Code relating to public works projects of cities and as required by the procedures and standards of City with respect to the construction of its public works projects or as otherwise directed by City Engineer. (d) All contractors shall be required to provide proof of insurance coverage throughout the term of the construction of the Public Improvements which they will construct in conformance with Section 5 of this Agreement.

2.4 Schedule of Performance. Developer shall commence construction of the Public Improvements in accordance with the Subdivision Improvement Agreement for Tract Map No. 16420-8 .

2.5 Standard of Performance. Developer and its contractors shall perform all work required, constructing the Public Improvements in a skillful and workmanlike manner, and consistent with the standards generally recognized as being employed by professionals in the same discipline in the State of California. Developer represents and maintains that it or its contractors shall be skilled in the professional calling necessary to perform the work. Developer warrants that all of its employees and contractors shall have sufficient skill and experience to perform the work assigned to them, and that they shall have all licenses, permits, qualifications and approvals of whatever nature that are legally required to perform the work, and that such licenses, permits, qualifications and approvals shall be maintained throughout the term of this Agreement.

2.6 Alterations to Public Improvements. All work shall be done and the Public Improvements completed as shown on the Plans and Specifications, and any subsequent alterations thereto mutually agreed upon by City and Developer. If Developer desires to make any alterations to the Plans and Specifications, it shall provide written notice to City of such proposed alterations. City shall have ten (10) business days after receipt of such written notice to administratively approve or disapprove such alterations, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If City fails to provide written notice to Developer of its approval or disapproval of the alterations within such ten (10) business day period, City will be deemed to have disapproved such alterations to the Plans and Specifications. Any and all alterations in the Plans and Specifications and the Public Improvements to be completed may be accomplished without first giving prior notice thereof to Developer’s surety for this Agreement. 4 2.7 Force Majeure. Developer agrees that the time within which it shall be required to perform any act under this Agreement shall not be extended except as follows: (i) Developer is delayed by City (including, without limitation, restrictions on priority, initiative or referendum, or moratoria), in which case Developer shall provide written notice to City specifically describing the nature and extent of the delay caused by City and Developer’s detailed efforts to avoid such delay, which references this Section and deliver such notice within twenty (20) days of discovering such delay, and Developer’s obligations shall be extended for such time as City deems reasonable as a result of the delay if and only if Developer provides such written notice to City within such time; or (ii) Developer is delayed due to war, insurrection, strikes, lock-outs, riots, floods, earthquakes, fires, casualties, natural disasters, acts of God, acts of the public enemy, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, freight embargoes, processing with any governmental agencies, unusually severe weather, or any other similar causes beyond the control of Developer or without the fault of Developer. An extension of time for any such cause shall be for the period of the enforced delay equal to the number of days during which Developer’s performance was delayed and shall commence to run from the time of the commencement of the cause, if written notice by Developer claiming such extension is sent to City within twenty (20) days of knowledge of the commencement of the cause.

3. Security; Surety Bonds. Prior to the commencement of any work on the Public Improvements, Developer or its contractor shall provide City with surety bonds in the amounts and under the terms set forth below or, at City’s request, in lieu of surety bonds, a letter of credit or letters of credit issued by a banking institution with a rating to be approved by City and in the form and upon terms approved by City (“Security”). The amount of the Security shall be based on the estimated actual costs (“Estimated Costs”) to construct the Public Improvements, as determined by City after Developer has awarded a contract for construction of the Public Improvements to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder in accordance with this Agreement. If City determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the Estimated Costs have changed, Developer or its contractor shall adjust the Security in the amount requested by City.

Providing the Security shall not release Developer of its indemnification obligation in Section 4.

3.1 Performance Bond. To guarantee the construction of the Public Improvements and faithful performance of all the provisions of this Agreement, to protect City if Developer is in default as defined in Section 14, and to secure the Warranty of the Public Improvements pursuant to Section 10, Developer or its contractor shall provide City a faithful performance bond in an amount which sum shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Estimated Costs. City may, in its reasonable discretion, partially release a portion or portions of the security provided under this section as the Public Improvements are completed by City, provided that Developer is not in default on any provision of this Agreement and the total remaining security is not less than twenty percent (20%) of the Estimated Costs. All security provided under this section shall be released upon the final acceptance by the City Council of the City, provided that Developer is not in default of this Agreement.

3.2 Labor & Material Bond. To secure payment to the contractors, subcontractors, laborers, materialmen, and other persons furnishing labor, materials, or equipment for performance of the Public Improvements and this Agreement, Developer or its contractor shall provide City a labor and materials bond in an amount which sum shall not be less than fifty percent (50%) of the Estimated Costs.

All security provided under this section shall be released upon the final acceptance by the City Council of the City, provided that Developer is not in default of this Agreement

3.3 Additional Requirements. The surety for any surety bonds provided as Security shall have a current A.M. Best rating of at least “A” and FSC-VIII, shall be licensed to do business in California. As part of the obligation secured by the Security and in addition to the face amount of the Security, Developer and its contractor or the surety shall secure the costs and reasonable expenses and fees, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by City in enforcing the obligations of this Agreement. Developer and its contractor and the surety shall stipulate and agree that no change, extension 5 of time, alteration, or addition to the terms of this Agreement, the Public Improvements, or the Plans and Specifications shall in any way affect its obligation on the Security.

4. Indemnification. Developer shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless City, its elected officials, employees, and agents from any and all actual or alleged claims, demands, causes of action, liability, loss, damage, or injury to property or persons, including wrongful death, whether imposed by a court of law or by administrative action of any federal, state, or local governmental agency, arising out of or incident to any acts, omissions, negligence or willful misconduct of Developer in connection with the performance of this Agreement (“Claims”). This indemnification includes, without limitation, the payment of all penalties, fines, judgments, awards, decrees, attorneys’ fees, and related costs or expenses, and the reimbursement of City, its elected officials, employees, and/or agents for all legal expenses and costs incurred by each of them. This indemnification excludes only such portion of any Claim which is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of City, as determined by a court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and excludes any Claims arising out of incidents occurring after the date of the City’s acceptance of the Public Improvements. Developer’s obligation to indemnify regarding Claims arising from incidents occurring prior to the date of the City’s acceptance of the Public Improvements shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement, and shall not be restricted to insurance proceeds, if any, received by City, its elected officials, employees, or agents.

5. Insurance.

5.1 Types; Amounts. Developer shall procure and maintain, and shall require its contractors to procure and maintain, during performance of this Agreement, insurance of the types and in the amounts described below (“Required Insurance”).

Such insurance shall be endorsed to include contractual liability.

5.2 Deductibles. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City. At the option of City, either: (a) the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-insured retentions as respects City, its elected officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers; 6 or (b) Developer and its contractors shall provide a financial guarantee satisfactory to City guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigation costs, claims, and administrative and defense expenses.

5.3 Additional Insured; Separation of Insureds. The Required Insurance, except for the professional liability and workers’ compensation insurance, shall name City as an additional insured with respect to work performed by or on behalf of Developer or its contractors, including any materials, parts, or equipment furnished in connection therewith. The Required Insurance shall contain standard separation of insureds provisions, and shall contain no special limitations on the scope of its protection to City, its elected officials, officers, employees, or agents.

5.4 Primary Insurance; Waiver of Subrogation. The Required Insurance shall be primary with respect to any insurance or self-insurance programs covering City, its elected officials, officers, employees, or agents.

5.5 Certificates; Verification. Developer and its contractors shall furnish City with original certificates of insurance and endorsements effecting coverage for the Required Insurance. The certificates and endorsements for each insurance policy shall be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. All certificates and endorsements must be received and approved by City before work pursuant to this Agreement can begin. City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at any time.

5.6 Term; Cancellation Notice. Developer and its contractors shall maintain the Required Insurance for the term of this Agreement and shall replace any certificate, policy, or endorsement which will expire prior to that date. All policies shall, to the extent available from commercially reasonable insurance providers, be endorsed to provide that the Required Insurance shall not be suspended, voided, reduced, canceled, or allowed to expire except on thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to City.

5.7 Insurer Rating. Unless approved in writing by City, all Required Insurance shall be placed with insurers licensed to do business in the State of California and with a current A.M. Best rating of at least “A-” and FSC-VIII.

6. Maintenance of Improvements. City shall not be responsible or liable for the maintenance or care of, and shall exercise no control over, the Public Improvements until such Public Improvements are accepted by City. Developer shall have no obligation to make the Public Improvements available for public use at any time before the Public Improvements are accepted by City. Any use by any person of the Public Improvements, or any portion thereof, shall be at the sole and exclusive risk of Developer at all times prior to City’s acceptance of the Improvements. Developer shall maintain all of the Public Improvements in a state of good repair until they are completed by Developer and accepted by City.

Prior to acceptance by the City, it shall be Developer’s responsibility to initiate all maintenance work, but if it shall fail to do so, it shall promptly perform such maintenance work when notified to do so by City. If Developer fails to properly prosecute its maintenance obligation under this section, City may, upon written notice and Developer’s failure to remedy as provided in Section 14, do all work necessary for such maintenance, and the cost thereof shall be the responsibility of Developer and its surety under this Agreement. City shall not be responsible or liable for any damages or injury of any nature in any way related to or caused by the Public Improvements or their condition prior to acceptance, except to the extent such damage or injury is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of City, its elected officials, employees, and/or agents.

7. City Inspection of Public Improvements. Developer shall, at its sole cost and expense, and at all times during construction of the Public Improvements, maintain reasonable and safe facilities and 7 provide safe access for inspection by City of the Public Improvements and areas where construction of the Public Improvements is occurring or will occur. Developer shall give notice to City when the construction of all or a portion of the Public Improvements is complete. Upon receiving such notice, City may inspect the Public Improvements and request any modifications or corrections as may be deemed reasonably necessary by City Engineer, in his or her sole discretion, to bring the Public Improvements into conformity with the Plans and Specifications, including any approved revisions thereto. Developer or Developer’s contractors shall make all such modifications and corrections requested by City Engineer.

8. Liens. Developer shall not permit any liens to be filed against the Public Improvements and indemnifies City with respect to any such liens. Upon the expiration of the time for the recording of claims of liens as prescribed by Sections 8412 and 8414 of the Civil Code with respect to the Public Improvements, Developer shall provide to City such evidence or proof as City shall reasonably require that all persons, firms, and corporations supplying work, labor, materials, supplies, and equipment to the construction of the Public Improvements have been paid, and that no claims of liens have been recorded by or on behalf of any such person, firm, or corporation. Rather than await the expiration of the said time for the recording of claims of liens, Developer may elect to provide to City a title insurance policy or other security acceptable to City guaranteeing that no such claims of liens will be recorded or become a lien upon any of the Property.

9. Acceptance of Improvements; As-Built or Record Drawings. If the Public Improvements are completed by Developer in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, as reasonably determined by City Engineer, City shall be authorized to accept the Public Improvements. City may, in its reasonable discretion, accept fully completed portions of the Public Improvements prior to such time as all of the Public Improvements are complete, which shall not release or modify Developer’s obligation to complete the remainder of the Public Improvements. Upon the total or partial acceptance of the Public Improvements by City, Developer shall file with the Recorder’s Office of the County of San Bernardino a notice of completion for the accepted Improvements in accordance with California Civil Code Section 9204 (“Notice of Completion”), at which time the accepted Public Improvements shall become the sole and exclusive property of City without any payment therefor, except as expressly set forth herein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, City may not accept any Public Improvements (or the applicable portion thereof) unless and until Developer provides two (2) sets of “as-built” or record drawings or plans to City for all such Public Improvements (or the applicable portion thereof). The drawings shall be certified and shall reflect the condition of the Public Improvements as constructed, with all changes incorporated therein.

10. Warranty and Guaranty. Developer warrants and guarantees all the Public Improvements against any defective work or labor done, or defective materials furnished in the performance of this Agreement, including the maintenance of the Public Improvements, for a period of one (1) year following completion of the work and acceptance by City (“Warranty”). During the Warranty, Developer shall repair, replace, or reconstruct any defective or otherwise materially unsatisfactory portion of the Improvements, in accordance with the Plans and Specifications. All repairs, replacements, or reconstruction during the Warranty period shall be at the sole cost and expense of Developer, and shall not be eligible for credits or reimbursements. As to any Public Improvements which have been repaired, replaced, or reconstructed during the Warranty, Developer hereby agree to provide a warranty for a one (1) year period following City acceptance of the repaired, replaced, or reconstructed Public Improvements.

Developer’s warranty obligation under this section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

11. DIF Credit and Reimbursement.

11.1 Calculation of Eligible Costs. Upon or prior to completion of the Public Improvements by Developer, Developer shall submit to City Engineer such information as City Engineer 8 may require to calculate the actual costs incurred by Developer to construct the Public Improvements (“Actual Costs”).

11.2 Credit/Reimbursement Limits. The credit and, if applicable, reimbursement amount owed to Developer for construction of the Public Improvements (“Credit/Reimbursement Amount”) shall be equal to the Actual Costs, subject to the following limitations:

11.2.1 Reasonable Soft Costs. City Engineer shall, in his or her reasonable discretion, determine the amount of reasonable soft costs eligible for credit and reimbursement under the DIF Ordinance. Such amounts may include professional engineering and design services, construction management, soils testing, permits, plan check fees, and inspections, but shall not include interest or attorneys’ fees. For soft costs to be reimbursable to Developer pursuant to this Agreement, City must be able to verify that such soft costs are specifically attributable to the specified Public Improvements for which reimbursement is being made, by reference to separate subcontract(s) or by another means approved by City in writing. The total amount of the soft costs shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the Credit/Reimbursement Amount. City Engineer may, in his or her reasonable discretion, reduce or disallow credit/ reimbursement for any costs he finds excessive or unreasonable.

11.2.2 Nexus Report Costs Estimates. The Credit/Reimbursement Amount shall not exceed the cost estimates for the Public Improvements included in the Nexus Reports, unless approved by City council.

11.2.3 DIF Categories. Developer acknowledges that DIFs are imposed in various separate categories to fund specific public facilities. Credit against DIFs may only be applied for eligible improvements identified in the specific DIF category.

11.3 Conditions Precedent to Final Credit or Reimbursement. City’s obligation to provide fee credits or reimbursements for the Public Improvements pursuant to this Agreement is conditioned upon the prior satisfaction by Developer or written waiver by City Manager of each of the following Conditions Precedent within the times designated below:

11.3.1 Completion of Construction. Developer shall have completed the construction of the Public Improvements acceptable to City, and thirty (30) days have elapsed since notices of completion have been recorded in relation to the Public Improvements, in accordance with California Civil Code Sections 9204 and/or 8182 (as applicable). The purpose of this provision is to ensure that the Public Improvements will be independently functional and to maintain consistency with vesting rights, and nothing herein shall be deemed to make any part of the Project a public work other than the Public Improvements.

11.3.2 Submission of Documents. Developer shall have made full and complete payment of all undisputed claims for work performed on the Public Improvements, or in the event of a dispute between Developer and the General Contractor or a subcontractor, Developer shall have obtained a commercially reasonable bond reasonably satisfactory to City to release any applicable mechanics’ lien or stop notice, and Developer shall have submitted and City shall have approved a written request for the credit/reimbursement, including copies of all bills and/or invoices evidencing the costs of constructing the Public Improvements actually incurred by Developer and any other documents reasonably required by City.

11.3.3 As-Built Drawings. Pursuant to Section 9, Developer shall have submitted two (2) sets of final as-built drawings for the Public Improvements to City Engineer.

11.3.4 Acceptance of Required Public Improvements by City. The City Council shall have accepted title to the Public Improvements. 9 11.3.5 No Default. Developer shall not be in default in any of its obligations under the terms of this Agreement, and all representations and warranties of Developer contained herein shall be true and correct in all material respects.

11.3.6 Compliance with DIF Ordinance and Conditions of Approval.

Developer shall be in compliance with all requirements of the DIF Ordinance and the Conditions of Approval.

11.4 DIF Addendum Assignment of Credit/Reimbursement Amount. Developer shall have the right to assign all or portions of the Credit/Reimbursement Amount in accordance with the requirements specified in the DIF Addendum, which assignment will require City’s written acknowledgement. Developer understands that strict compliance with the assignment restrictions is critical to allow City to track the total Credit/Reimbursement Amount and Developer’s failure to comply with the assignment requirements in the DIF Addendum may result in delays in the processing of credit/reimbursement assignments by the City Exhibit D (“DIF Addendum”).

11.5 Payment. If Developer’s credit is less than the DIF owed, then Developer shall pay the remaining balance to City to fully satisfy Developer’s DIF obligation within thirty (30) days of the execution of the DIF Addendum.

11.6 Reimbursement. If Developer is entitled to a reimbursement, City shall reimburse the balance to Developer in accordance with the provisions of the DIF Ordinance.

12. Assignment. Prior to completion of the Public Improvements, Developer may assign this Agreement to a third party (“Assignment”), subject to the approval of City’s Director of Development Services (“Director”) in his/her reasonable discretion. If Developer desires to assign this Agreement, Developer shall provide detailed information as to the proposed assignee (“Assignee”) as requested by City including but not limited, evidence of Assignee’s right to acquire the Property, its background and financial information evidencing the ability of Assignee to complete the Public Improvements. Any assignment of this Agreement shall not release Assignor.

13. Default; Notice; Remedies.

13.1 Notice. If Developer neglects, refuses, or fails to fulfill or timely complete any obligation, term, or condition of this Agreement, or if City determines there is a violation of any federal, state, or local law, ordinance, regulation or code, City may at any time thereafter declare Developer to be in default or violation of this Agreement and make written demand upon Developer or its surety, or both, to immediately remedy the default or violation (“Notice of Default”). Developer shall substantially commence the work required to remedy the default or violation within five (5) business days after its receipt of the Notice of Default. If the default or violation constitutes an immediate threat to the public health, safety, or welfare, City may provide the Notice of Default verbally, and Developer shall substantially commence the required work within twenty-four (24) hours thereof. Immediately upon City’s issuance of the Notice of Default, Developer and its surety shall be liable to City for all costs of construction and installation of the Public Improvements and all other administrative costs or expenses, as provided for in Section 15 of this Agreement.

13.2 Failure to Remedy; City Action. If the work required to remedy the noticed default or violation is not commenced within the time required under Section 13.1 of this Agreement and diligently prosecuted to completion, City may complete all remaining work, arrange for the completion of all remaining work, and/or conduct such remedial activity as in its reasonable discretion it believes is required to remedy the default or violation. All such work or remedial activity shall be at the sole and absolute cost and expense of Developer and its surety, without the necessity of giving any further notice to 10 Developer or surety. In the event City elects to complete or arrange for completion of the remaining work and the Public Improvements, City may require all work by Developer or its surety to cease in order to allow adequate coordination by City.

13.3 Other Remedies. No action by City pursuant to this Section 13 shall prohibit City from exercising any other right or pursuing any other legal or equitable remedy available under this Agreement or any federal, state, or local law. City may exercise its rights and remedies independently or cumulatively, and City may pursue inconsistent remedies. City may institute an action for damages, injunctive relief, or specific performance.

14. Administrative Costs. If Developer fails to construct and install all or any part of the Public Improvements, or if Developer fails to comply with any other obligation contained herein, Developer and its surety shall be jointly and severally liable to City for all administrative expenses, fees, and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred in obtaining compliance with this Agreement or in processing any legal action or for any other remedies permitted by law.
