Such security may be in any form specified in Chapter 5 of the Subdivision Map Act and shall be in the following amounts:

   (b)   An additional amount equal to fifty percent of the total estimated cost of the improvement, as determined by the city engineer, including an inflationary factor based upon the time for completion, securing payment to the contractor, subcontractors and to persons furnishing labor, materials or equipment to them for the improvement or the performance of the required act;
   (c)   An amount to be determined by the city engineer to guarantee and warranty the work for a period of one year following the completion and acceptance of the work against any defective work or labor done, or defective materials furnished;
   (d)   As a part of the obligation guaranteed by the security and in addition to the face amount of the security, there shall be included costs and reasonable expenses and fees, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by the city in successfully enforcing the obligations secured.
