1.	Performance of Work. SUBDIVIDER shall, at its own cost and expense, do and perform, or cause to be done or performed, in a good and workmanlike manner, all of the work and improvements, within and/or outside the subdivision, which are shown on the Map, or on improvement plans, profiles, and specifications which have been submitted to the City Engineer or his authorized representative or may hereafter be so submitted, as finally approved, or which improvements are required as conditions of approval of the subdivision by the CITY, or are required to be done by any provision of law as a condition of said subdivision. Said improvements include, but are not limited to curbs, gutters, and sidewalks, grading, signing and striping, fiber optics, pavements, water systems, joint trench, fire hydrants, sound wall, driveway approaches and pedestrian crosswalks, storm and sanitary sewers, underground utilities, signal improvements, street lighting, roadway improvements, landscaping, survey monuments, and all appurtenant improvements. Said plans and specifications are filed in the Office of the City Engineer as Subdivision 8469 “Improvements”, including Supplemental Conditions and Technical Specifications.
A.	If the Developer is unable to acquire property required for the construction of required improvements prior to the approval of the final map, Developer shall request the City in writing to acquire said property by eminent domain. Said written request shall be made to the City no less than thirty days prior to the approval of the final map and be accompanied by:
i.	The standard City Contract for Real Property Acquisition (“contract”) executed by the developer;
ii.	Deposit both:
a.	A faithful performance bond in a form approved by the City Attorney in an amount determined by the City to assure performance of the obligation to reimburse the City for all said costs of acquisition; and
b.

B.	Developer agrees that until the formal written request to acquire and the deposit has been made in the manner provided in this paragraph:
i.	The City may, but shall be under no duty to, proceed with the proposed acquisition of property required for the construction of offsite improvements; and
ii.	The 120-day period for acquisition after filing the final map (Govt. Code §66462.5) shall not commence to run.
C.	Developer agrees that failure of the Developer to make a timely written request to acquire and deposit provided in this paragraph:
i.	Shall be grounds for refusing to approve the final map because the Developer has not agreed to pay the cost of acquiring offsite real property interests required in connection with the tentative map;
ii.	Shall constitute Developer’s abandonment of any claim that the City has waived any condition for the construction of offsite improvements contained in the tentative or final map; and
iii.	Shall not relieve Developer of the duty to construct offsite improvements as required in the tentative or final map.
D.	The terms costs of acquisition and acquisition costs, as used herein shall include but not be limited to costs and payments incurred for attorneys fees; expert witness fees including appraisers, whether or not said expert witnesses are called to testify at time of trial court costs; litigations expenses as defined by Code of Civil Procedure §1235.41, relocation costs; costs and fees charged by acquisition and relocation agents; any awards or settlement in avoidance of trial of compensation and costs to the owners of the property sought to be acquired including but not limited to compensation for the property acquired, severance damages, if any, loss of goodwill, if any and delay damages, if any; interest on the award or settlement and interest for immediate possession of the property acquired; sanctions, if any, awarded to the owner or payable to the Court; litigation expenses (including but not limited to attorneys fees and exert witness fees); court costs awarded to the owner of the property sought to be acquired or paid to the owner in settlement of claims for attorneys fees and expert witness fees; expenses and costs, if any, awarded to the owner for abandonment or dismissal of any condemnation action, or in settlement of claims for costs and expenses for abandonment or dismissal; costs recoverable against a condemnor upon the filing of a memorandum of costs including but not limited to filing and process fees including costs of recordation and certification of documents, deposition fees including fees paid to deposed expert witnesses, ordinary witness fees, jury fees, mileage fees for jurors and fees for official reporting of testimony and proceedings after judgment; and all fees recoverable pursuant to Code Civ.

Proc. §§1235 and 1268.710; all arbitration, mediation, and alternative dispute resolution fees including fees paid to arbitrators or retired judges; together with staff overhead charges for the administration of the acquisition in the amount of actual overhead charges, or, at the City’s sole option, 5 percent of the total costs of acquisition, an amount estimated to be standard overhead project costs.
E.	Each time the balance of said cash advance has declined to $10,000 by reason of withdrawals by the City to pay for acquisition costs, Developer shall deposit within ten days after posting by certified mail a written demand from the City, an additional $40,000 or the original amount deposited minus $10,000 (whichever amount is the lesser amount) as an advance on further costs of acquisition.
F.	Developer acknowledges that if the Developer makes a request to acquire pursuant to this paragraph, the City is required to make an offer to the owner(s) of property required for off-site improvements of the amount established as just compensation after consideration of a fair market value appraisal (Govt. Code §7267.2) before commencing negotiations with said owner(s).
G.	Developer agrees to deposit with the City the amount of said offer and estimated relocation assistance costs, if any, as may be required by the California Relocation Assistance Act within ten days after posting by certified mail by the City of a written demand to Developer stating the amount of the proposed offer and of the estimated relocation assistance costs, if any. No additional deposit shall be required in the event that the balance of the initial deposit provided for in this paragraph is in excess of the amount stated in Section A(ii)(b) after deducting the amount of said offer and estimated relocation assistance costs.
H.	Developer acknowledges that the City cannot file a condemnation action until after the City Council adopts a Resolution of Necessity pursuant to Code Civ. Proc. §§1245.220-1245.235 after giving the affected owner the right to be heard in opposition to the adoption of said Resolution. Developer acknowledges that the city Council may, after said hearing, exercise its discretion and not adopt the requisite Resolution of Necessity; and City cannot make an irrevocable commitment to acquire said property by eminent domain unless and until said Resolution is adopted. Developer further acknowledges that the references to the acquisition of said property by eminent domain shall be considered representations by City staff to use their best efforts to acquire said property and not the commitment of the City to acquire said property by eminent domain until such time as the City Council has exercised its discretion after said hearing to adopt said Resolution. Developer further acknowledges that staff has no authority to commit the City Council to adopt a Resolution of Necessity.
I.	Twenty days prior to obtaining an Order of Possession on said properties, City shall notify Developer of the amount of probable compensation to be deposited with the State Treasurer’s Condemnation fund required by Code of Civil Procedure §§1255.010 et seq. to obtain possession. Within ten days after posting by certified mail a written demand from the City setting out the amount of the proposed deposit with the State Treasurer, Developer shall deposit with the City the amount of probable compensation to be deposited less the amount previously deposited prior to said Govt. Code §7267.20 offer. No additional deposit shall be required in the event that the current balance of the initial deposit provided for in this paragraph is in excess of Section A(ii)(b) after deducting the amount that Developer would otherwise be required to deposit as the amount of probable compensation less the amount, if any, previously deposited prior to said Govt. Code §7267.2(a) offer.
J.	In the event that the City proposes to make an offer of settlement higher than the amount offered pursuant to Govt. Code §7267.2, City may give the Developer notice of the amount of said offer of settlement and may give Developer a written demand from City setting out the amount of the offer and demanding that Developer deposit an additional sum determined to be sufficient to provide for payment to the owner of the amount of the offer in the event that the offer is accepted and still leave on deposit with City as a cash advance an amount sufficient to cover the costs and expenses defined herein which are obligations of Developer to City and not a part of the proposed settlement. Developer shall within ten days after posting by certified mail of said demand, deposit the amount that City has determined to be sufficient to provide for payment to the owner the amount of the offer in the event that the offer is accepted and still leave on deposit a cash advance in the amount sufficient to cover the costs and expenses which are obligations of Developer to City and not a part of the proposed settlement. In the event that the offer is not accepted, this additional deposit shall be held by the City as security for the payment of any judgment after trial, [but shall not relieve the Developer of the obligation to pay the full amount of the award including interests, costs, sanctions, litigation expenses and fees (“additional amounts”) awarded by the court or recoverable by the City against Developer as a cost defined herein] should the full amount awarded plus said additional amounts exceed the amount of all cash advances made as provided herein.
K.	In the event that the owner of the property sought to be acquired makes an offer to settle after receiving the Govt. Code §7267.2(a) offer in an amount greater than said offer, and City, at its sole option intends to accept the offer, then City may give the Developer notice of the amount of said offer of settlement and may give Developer a written demand from City setting out the amount of the offer and demanding that Developer deposit an additional sum determined in an amount determined by the City to be sufficient to provide for payment to the owner of the amount of the offer and still leave on deposit with City as a cash advance an amount sufficient to cover the costs and expenses defined herein which are obligations of Developer to City and not a part of the proposed settlement. Developer shall within ten days after posting by certified mail of said demand deposit the amount that City has determined to be sufficient to provide for payment to the owner the amount of the offer and still leave on deposit a cash advance I the amount sufficient to cover the costs and expenses which are obligations of Developer to city and not a part of the proposed settlement.
L.	City agrees to use its best efforts to settle any dispute over the compensation for the property to be acquired pursuant to this agreement for an amount as close to what it considers to be just compensation as is reasonably possible, but in no event less than what is determined to be the fair market value of the property together with other legally compensable and reasonably probable damages, if any. However, Developer agrees that the City, in its sole discretion, may settle any dispute over value in any amount between what the City considers to be just compensation and what the owner claims as just compensation, by way of a compromise recognizing the risks of trial.
M.	Failure of the developer to make any of the deposits required by this paragraph shall constitute Developer’s waiver of any claim that the City has waived any condition for the construction of off-site improvements contained in the tentative or final map. No condition or term of this agreement is waived if the City does not demand an additional cash advance when authorized by this agreement.
N.	In the event that the City elects not to take any steps required in a condemnation action for the acquisition of sites for said required offsite improvements until Developer has made the deposits required by this Agreement, then:
i.	Developer shall be liable for all damages, claims, or sanctions of whatsoever kind or nature resulting from the City not proceeding with said condemnation action; and
ii.	Developer shall not be relieved of the duty to construct offsite improvements required in the tentative and final subdivision map.
O.	Upon obtaining a Final Order condemning the parcel or parcels that Developer requested the City to acquire or after acquiring the parcel or parcels by Deed, the City shall provide Developer with an account of all compensation, costs and expenses due hereunder, and make a written demand on Developer for any amounts greater than the remaining balance of the cash advances deposited with City, and demanding that Developer deposit said additional sum. Developer shall within ten days after posting by certified mail of said demand deposit the amount that City has determined to be the remaining balance. Said demand and payment shall be a final accounting of all amounts owing hereunder, unless the owner files a motion for new trial, any post-judgment motions or a notice of appeal, in which case any additional compensation, settlement amounts, fees, expenses or costs as defined herein shall be the obligation of Developer and City may require additional cash advances to secure payment.
14. Estimates of Costs: Security. The estimated cost for the work to be done under this agreement is Five Million Two Hundred Sixty Nine Thousand, Four Hundred Sixty Seven Dollars ($5,269,467.00)
(b) Worker’s Compensation Insurance. SUBDIVIDER shall take out and maintain, during the life of this agreement, Workers’ Compensation insurance for all SUBDIVIDER’S employees employed at the site of all public Improvements, and in case any work is sublet, SUBDIVIDER shall require any general contractor or subcontractor similarly to provide Workers’ Compensation insurance for contractor’s or subcontractor’s employees, unless such employees are covered by the protection afforded by SUBDIVIDER. In case any class of employees engaged in work under this Agreement at the site of the project is not protected under any Workers’ Compensation law, SUBDIVIDER shall provide, and shall cause each contractor and subcontractor to provide, adequate insurance for the protection of employees not otherwise protected.
