The dedication of the plat shall also include the dedication to the public of all land, easements and improvements required to be dedicated to the city under this code. Developers are also required to dedicate or donate to the city on the plat all water distribution lines and appurtenances and sewage collection systems, including lines, lift stations, and appurtenances, constructed on public rights-of-way or public easements for provision of service to the subdivision. In addition to plat dedications, the city may also require bills of sale and separate easement agreements be executed.
(3) A maintenance bond, in a form approved by the city, shall be posted by the developer and executed by a company authorized to do business in the state of Florida, satisfactory to the city, payable to the city in the amount of 10% of the engineer's estimated construction cost, or actual contract cost, of all required improvements to be owned and maintained by the city. The bond shall guarantee maintenance of all required improvements to be owned and maintained by the city for a two-year period, and the materials, workmanship, and structural integrity of sewers and drainage facilities, excluding mechanical equipment, for a two- year period, commencing after a certificate of completion has been issued by the city. The manufacturer's warranty will be acceptable for mechanical equipment if made out to the city and provided in writing. The developer is to furnish a performance bond for the whole development until completion. As an alternative to the provision of a surety bond, the developer may provide for the deposit of cash in an escrow account or an irrevocable letter of credit as approved by the Finance Director.
