66. SUBDIVISION IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT: Public improvements required as part of the subdivision must be either completed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer prior to map approval, or guaranteed by a Subdivision Agreement. The agreement requires the applicant to post financial security in the form of either a cash deposit, letter of credit, or surety bonds in amounts equivalent to the value of the public improvements. If surety bonds are utilized, the form of the bond language shall be consistent with California Government Code §66499.1 for faithful performance and §66499.2 for labor and materials. The amounts of the bonds shall be 100 percent of the total estimated value of the public improvements consistent with §66499.3. In addition, the City requires a warranty bond (often referred to as a maintenance bond) for 10 percent of the estimated value. The warranty bond shall be active for one year following formal acceptance of the improvements. All submitted securities are subject to review and approval by the City Attorney. (Address this condition prior to map approval) 67. CITY SURVEYOR: The City utilizes the services of an outside consultant to certify the technical accuracy of subdivision maps as City Land Surveyor pursuant to California Government Code §66451.1. In order to provide this service, the consultant will submit a proposal to the City for the estimated cost of the work. The estimate will be presented to the applicant together with the City's administrative markup according to the City's adopted Master Fee Schedule. Review of the subdivision map cannot commence until the applicant has submitted payment to the City for these costs. If the ultimate fee at the conclusion of the work is less than this payment, the applicant will be refunded the difference. If the ultimate fee is more than this payment, then the applicant shall submit payment for the difference before the consultant certifies the map. The following statement shall be included on the cover sheet of the map: "I, [NAME PROVIDED BY CITY], P.L.S, Acting City Surveyor for the City of Pleasanton, Alameda County, California, do hereby state that I have examined this map entitled "[MAP NAME/NUMBER]", and I am satisfied that said map is technically correct. [SIGNATURE LINE], [DATE], [SPACE FOR STAMP]" (Address this condition prior to map approval) 68.
