RECITALS: A. City staff have prepared and filed Parcel Map No. 33588 (the "Map") subdividing a unit of land in the City of La Quinta, County of Riverside (the "Land") pursuant to the provisions of Section 66410, et seq. of the California Government Code (the "Subdivision Map Act"). B. Prior to approval of the Map, Developer, who has entered into a Purchase Agreement with the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency ("Agency") to purchase Parcels 2 and 3 on the Map (the "Developer Parcels") for development thereon of a discount membership warehouse, is required to agree to install certain public and private improvements (the "Improvements"). C. The Improvements have not been installed and accepted at this time. D. It is therefore necessary that Developer and City enter into an agreement for the installation of the Improvements as provided in Section 66462 of the Subdivision Map Act. NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed by and between the parties hereto as follows: 1. Improvement Plans. Developer shall furnish original improvement plans for the Improvements meeting the requirements of the City Engineer. 2. Improvements. Developer shall construct the Improvements required to be constructed or agreed to be constructed under this Agreement as listed in Exhibit "A", and shall, subject to this Section 2, bear the full cost thereof. The methods, standards, specifications, sequence, and scheduling of construction shall be as approved by the City Engineer. Notwithstanding the above, Developer shall be entitled to a reimbursement from the City for all of the costs, including soft costs (i.e., design and inspection costs, fees, etc.) Developer incurs to construct the portion of the Improvements that consists of the median within Dune Palms Road, including the landscaping installed within said median (collectively, the "DIF Improvements"), out of the City's Developer Impact Fee fund, to the extent that such costs do not exceed Three Hundred Ninety -One Thousand Three Dollars ($391,003). The Agency is negotiating with Stamko Development Co., a California limited partnership ("Stamko"), the terms of an agreement (the "Stamko Agreement") pursuant to which the Agency would sell to Stamko Parcel on the Map (the "Stamko Parcel"). In the event the property conveyance contemplated by the Stamko Agreement closes escrow, Stamko and the Developer will, concurrently with said closing, enter into a Cost Sharing Agreement, pursuant to which Stamko and the Developer will apportion, amongst each other, the cost Developer incurs (the "Developer's Shared Costs") to construct all of the Improvements except the DIF Improvements (the "Non-DIF Improvements"), based on the lineal frontage of the parties' respective parcels along Highway 111 and Dune Palms. The Cost Sharing Agreement allocates sixty-four percent (64%) of the Developer's Shared Costs to Developer and thirty-six percent (36%) of the Developer's Shared Costs to Stamko. In the event the property conveyance contemplated by the Stamko Agreement fails to close escrow, and Agency sells the Stamko Parcel to another purchaser, the Agency agrees to require the purchaser of the Stamko Parcel to reimburse the Developer for thirty-six percent (36%) of the 1 of 7 ::ODMA\PCDOCS\DOCS 1 \613056\7 Developer's Shared Costs; provided, however, that the Developer's Shared Costs shall not exceed the amounts set forth in Exhibit A for the Non-DIF Improvements. In the event the property conveyance contemplated by the Stamko Agreement fails to close escrow, and the Agency has not sold the Stamko Parcel within one (1) year after Developer's completion of the Improvements and the City's acceptance or approval (as applicable) thereof, the City will reimburse the Developer for thirty- six percent (36%) of the Developer's Shared Costs; provided, however, that the Developer's Shared Costs shall not exceed the amounts set forth in Exhibit A for the Non-DIF Improvements. 3. Improvement Security. A. One class of security to be provided by Developer, hereinafter referred to as "performance security," shall assure the faithful performance of this Agreement including construction of the Improvements, and payment of plan check and permit fees. A second class of security to be provided by Developer, hereinafter referred to as "payment security," shall assure the payment of the cost of labor, equipment and materials supplied to construct the Improvements. A third class of security to be provided by Developer, hereinafter referred to as "warranty security," shall sere as a guarantee and warranty of the Improvements for a period of one year following the completion and acceptance of the Improvements. Developer shall furnish performance and payment security prior to and as a condition of City Council approval of the Map. Developer shall provide warranty security after Improvements are complete and accepted by the City Council and prior to or concurrently with the final release of performance security. Developer shall be responsible for the payment of, and agrees to pay, any and all costs and reasonable expenses and fees, including reasonable attorney's fees, incurred by City in successfully enforcing the obligations secured pursuant to this Agreement. B. Improvement security shall conform with Section 66499 of the California Government Code and one or more of the following: 1) Surety bonds, of the form specified in subsection 66499.2 of the California Government Code, issued by a surety or sureties listed in the U.S. Department of Treasury Circular 570 (latest version). 2) Irrevocable letters of credit, issued by one or more financial institutions that are subject to regulation by the state or federal government, and have a financial quality rating of "A" or better and a commitment reliability rating of "R-2" or better on the Investment Data Exchange (of the Los Angeles County Treasurer's office), pledging that the funds necessary to carry out the completion of the Improvements are on deposit, guaranteed for payment, and constitute a trust fund which is not subject to levy or attachment by any creditor of the depositor until released by City. Letters of credit shall guarantee that all or any portion of the funds available pursuant to the letters of credit will be paid upon the written demand of City and that such written demand need not present documentation of any type as a condition of payment, including proof of loss. The duration of any such letter of credit shall be for a period of not less than one year from the execution of the agreement with which it is provided and shall state, on its face, that the letter of credit will be automatically renewed until such time that City authorizes its expiration or until sixty (60) days after City receives notice from the financial institution of intent to allow expiration of the letter of credit. C. All securities shall be furnished in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit A. The amount of the performance security shall equal One Hundred Percent (100%) of the estimated cost of constructing the Improvements, including payment of plan check and permit fees, as estimated by the City Engineer or a duly authorized representative of the City Engineer. The amount of Payment security shall equal the amount of the amount of performance security, except as otherwise set forth in Exhibit A, and shall be furnished as a separate security. Warranty security shall equal Ten Percent (10%) of the amount of performance security except as otherwise set forth in Exhibit A. 2of7 ::ODMA\PCDOCS\DOCS1 \613056\7 D. At the time of submittal of security, Developer shall pay to City administrative fees applicable to the form of security provided. Administrative fees shall apply to the subdivision (final map, parcel map or waiver of parcel map) rather than to individual security instruments. The fees shall be paid separately for each different form and/or source (surety or financial institution) of security initially submitted and for substitution of securities but shall not be required for submittal of warranty security if the warranty security is of the same form and from the same source as the performance security it replaces. The administrative fee shall be One Hundred Fifty Dollars ($150.00) for each irrevocable letter of credit and for each bond. E. Security shall not expire, be reduced or become wholly or partially invalid for any reason, including non-payment of premiums, modifications of this Agreement and/or expiration of the time for performance stated in this Agreement. F. Security shall be released in the following manner: 1) Performance security shall be released upon the final completion and acceptance or approval, by the City Council of the Improvements subject to the provisions of paragraph B. 2) The City Engineer may authorize partial reduction of performance security as work progresses, upon application by Developer. However, no such reduction shall be for an amount less than Ten Percent (10%) of the total performance security provided for the faithful performance of the act or work. In no event shall security be reduced below that required to guarantee the completion of the act or work or obligation secured, plus Ten Percent (10%). The City Engineer shall not allow more than two partial reductions of security furnished for any improvement agreement. 3) If City receives no notice of recorded claims of lien, labor and materials security shall be released in full 90 days after final acceptance and/or approval by the City Council, of the Improvements. If City receives notice of any recorded lien, the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act shall apply. 4) Warranty security not utilized during the warranty period shall be released one year after final acceptance or approval by the City Council of all Tract Improvements. However, if at the end of the one-year warranty period, there are one or more outstanding requests by City for performance of work or provision of materials under the terms of the warranty, warranty security shall be retained until the outstanding requests are satisfied or until Developer has made other arrangements satisfactory to the City Engineer. 4. Permits Reguired. Prior to commencing any phase of work, Developer shall obtain all permits required for that phase of work and pay all required fees. Work performed under a permit or permits shall comply with all provisions of the required permits. 5. Completion of Improvements. Developer shall begin construction of the Improvements within one hundred eighty (180) days and shall complete construction within eighteen (18) months after the approval of this Agreement. Portions of the Improvements may be completed at a later date, as determined by the City Engineer or as set forth in Exhibit A. Failure by Developer to begin or complete construction of the Improvements within the specified time periods shall constitute cause for City, in its sole discretion and when it deems necessary, to declare Developer in default of this Agreement, to revise improvement security requirements as necessary to ensure completion of the improvements, and/or to require modifications in the standards or sequencing of the Improvements in response to changes in standards or conditions affecting or affected by the Improvements. Said failure shall not otherwise affect the validity of this agreement or Developer's obligations hereunder. 6. Force Maieure. In the event that Developer is unable to perform within the time limits herein due to strikes, act of God, or other events beyond Developer's control, the time limits for obligations affected by such events will be extended by the period of such events. 3of7 ::ODMA\PCDOCS\DOCS 1 \613056\7 7. Time Extension. Developer may make application in writing to the City Council for an extension of time for completion of the Improvements. The City Council, in its sole and absolute discretion, may approve or deny the request or conditionally approve the extension with additions or revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. As a condition of the time extension, Developer shall furnish securities, similar in form and substance to those required in SECTION 3 hereinabove, to cover the period of extension. The value of the securities shall be sufficient to ensure the performance of and payment for Improvements that remain incomplete at the time of the extension, and to provide warranty security on completed Improvements. 8. Survev Monuments. Before final approval of street improvements, City will place survey monuments in accordance with the provisions of Sections 66495, et seq., of the Subdivision Map Act and of the La Quinta Municipal Code. 9 Final Acceptance of Improvements. At the completion of construction and prior to acceptance of the Improvements by City, Developer shall submit a request for final approval by City. The request shall be accompanied by any required certifications from Developer's engineers or surveyors, approval letters from other agencies having jurisdiction over and approval authority for improvements required by this Agreement or the Conditions of Approval, and any required construction quality documentation not previously submitted. Upon receipt of said request, the City Engineer or a duly -authorized representative will review the required documentation and will inspect the Improvements. If the Improvements are determined to be in accordance with applicable City standards and specifications, and as provided herein, obligations required by the Conditions of Approval and this Agreement have been satisfied, and Developer has provided revised plans as required in Paragraph 10 hereinafter, the City Engineer shall recommend acceptance of the Improvements by the City Council. 10. Revisions to Plans. When the Improvements have been inspected and approved by the City Engineer, Developer shall make any necessary revisions to the original plans held by City so the plans depict the actual Improvements constructed. When necessary revisions have been made, each separate sheet of the plans shall be clearly marked with the words "As -Built," "As -Constructed," or "Record Drawing," the marking shall be stamped by an engineer or surveyor, as appropriate for the improvements thereon, who is licensed to practice in California, and the plans shall be resubmitted to the City Engineer. 11. Improvement Warranty. Developer hereby guarantees the Improvements to City for a period of one (1) year, beginning on the date of final acceptance of the Improvements by the City Council, against any defective work or labor done, or defective materials furnished, and shall repair or replace such defective work or materials. 12. Release of Security. City shall retain and release securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 of this agreement. Prior to the release of payment security, the City Engineer may require Developer to provide a title report or other evidence sufficient to show claims of lien, if any, that may affect the amount of payment security released. 13. City Right to Cure. If Developer fails to perform any obligation hereunder and such obligation has not been performed within sixty (60) days after written notice of default from City (or, for obligations that cannot reasonably be performed within sixty (60) days, if Developer fails to commence to perform such obligation within said sixty (60) day period and diligently pursue the completion thereof), then City may perform the obligation, and Developer shall pay the entire cost of such performance by City including costs of suit and reasonable attorney's fees incurred by City in enforcing such obligation. In cases of emergency or compelling public interest, as determined by the City Engineer, the requirement for written notice of default and/or the passage of sixty (60) days shall be deemed waived and all other provisions of this Article shall remain in effect. 4of7 ::0DMA\P0D0CS\D0CS1 \613056\7 14. Indemnification. Developer hereby binds itself, its officers, employees, agents, representatives, executors, administrators, guarantors, heirs, and assigns, and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold City and its officers, employees, agents, representatives, and assigns harmless from and against any losses, claims, demands, actions, or causes of action of any nature whatsoever, arising out of or in any way connected with Developer's performance herein under, including costs of suit and reasonable attorneys' fees. 15.
