work for the project estimated the cost of the improvements for this project at eighty-one
thousand two hundred and thirty-four dollars ($81,234.00). The project also completed

ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
Improvement plans for the project were issued on January 27, 2020. Final Parcel Map

Recorder’s Office. The improvements were completed by the developer on May 25, 2021,
and “as-built” plans were approved on June 28, 2021. Post-construction operation and
maintenance agreements were required and have been executed, and are currently in
the process of being recorded. The developer has provided the necessary ten percent
(10%) warranty bond to be held for one year from the time of acceptance of the public
improvements. Acceptance of the public improvements begins the one-year maintenance
period, during which time the developer will be responsible for maintenance and repair of
the public improvements. After the one-year maintenance period, the City will take over
the maintenance of the public improvements in perpetuity.
