a. To ensure construction of the required improvements as set forth above in this Section (except those utility facilities specified in this Chapter), the subdivider shall deposit with the Town an amount in cash or a letter of credit equal to the amount of the cost of the work of each recorded increment (as determined by the Town Engineer) guaranteeing that the work will be completed in accordance with Town details and specifications. The letter of credit shall be executed by the subdivider, as principal, with a corporation duly authorized to transact business in the State of Arizona, as surety. The letter of credit or cash shall be released upon satisfactory performance of the work and its acceptance by the Town Engineer. The letter of credit may be canceled or the cash withdrawn by the subdivider, provided that other security satisfactory to the Town has been deposited which will cover the remaining obligations of the subdivider. The Town shall provide written acceptance of the other security prior to the subdivider canceling the letter or requesting release of security held as an assurance of construction.

b. Any alternative forms of assurance, such as a surety bond, must be approved by Town Council during the final plat approval process.

c. The duration of financial assurances shall be for thirteen (13) months, from the date of recording. Extension of time in one (1) year increments may be granted by the Council upon good cause. The assurance shall remain in force and effect until it is released by the Council or has been authorized for partial release as provided herein.

d. The Town Engineer, upon receipt of a certification from the Engineer of Record, may authorize a reduction of the financial assurance for the work completed in accordance with the approved cost estimate and construction plans. Ten percent (10%) of the estimated cost of completed improvements shall be retained to insure sufficient funds remain to insure completion of the improvements, final inspections and preparation of final “as-built” plans.

e. In the event the subdivider defaults or fails or neglects to satisfactorily install the required improvements within one (1) year from the date of recording, the Town Council may declare the assurance forfeited, and the Town may make or cause the required improvements to be made, using the funds from the financial assurance to pay the full expense thereof. In addition, the Director shall notify the State Real Estate Commissioner of the default.

f. If good cause is shown by the subdivider, the Council may extend the term of the assurance and the time limit for completion of subdivision improvements.
