(PARKWOOD CONDOMINIUM, INC - SUBDIVIDER) CAO RECONIlM.ENDATION Adopt a resolution accepting the public improvements, and certifying substantial completion of the required private improvements, and releasing the bonds for Tract 2726. DISCUSSION The required private subdivision improvements approved with the tentative map for Tract 2726 (Vicinity Map, Attachment 2), per Resolution No. 9781 (2006 Series) approved March 21, 2006, are substantially complete and the code required public improvements have been completed to City standards and specifications. The final map for Tract 2726 was approved, per Resolution No. 9866 (2007 Series),January 23, 2007. Public improvements included only minor sidewalk repair along Southwood Drive. The remaining subdivision improvements were private, including but not limited to, repaving of the onsite parking lot, modifications to the units for private open space, aesthetic improvements to the site along with the installation of a photovoltaic system in-lieu of the originally*required carports. While the installation of the photovoltaic system is not complete, Public Works and Community Development concur that the release of that portion of the security used to guarantee the other required improvements is appropriate. The estimated cost for the installation of the photovoltaic system is $217,440 including a 20 percent contingency and this amount is the appropriate amount that the subdivider is required to provide a guarantee. The subdivider has requested final acceptance of the public improvements by the City and reduce the amount of the sureties. Included with the final map approval in January 2007 was a subdivision agreement that allowed the Subdivision Labor and Materials and the Faithful Performance bonds to be released upon the Council's acceptance of the completed subdivision improvements and receipt of a guarantee of ten percent of the cost of the outstanding improvements. The total cost of the required improvements, including contingencies, was estimated to be $750,408. The release of the Labor and Materials security may be processed after the 60 day waiting period referenced in Section 66499.7(h) of the Government Code of the State of California.. When the proposed resolution is approved, the required security will be reduced to the ten Council Agenda Report—Accep ce of Public Improvements-Tract 27260 Page 2 percent or $75,048 for warrantee purposes, plus the amount guaranteeing the installation of the photovoltaic system or $217,440. The total security required is $292,488. Of this security, $214,440 will be released when the photovoltaic work is complete and $75,048 will be held for the required 2 month warranty period, after which the Public Works Director will authorize it's release. The replacement security of $75,048, or ten percent of the estimated construction cost, is to insure that the subdivider will remedy any defects in the improvements arising from .faulty workmanship or materials or defective construction of said improvements occurring within twelve (12) months after subdivision acceptance, in accordance with City Council Resolution No. 9763 (2006 Series)and Sections 66499.7 and 66499.9 of the Government Code of the State of California and will be released by the Public Works Director at the end of the warrantee period.
