agreement by the Developer to not apply to such claim and such failure shall constitute a
release of this indemnity and hold harmless agreement as to such claim. Approval of and
acceptance by the City of any storm drainage facility design or construction shall in no
manner be deemed to constitute a waiver or relinquishment by the City of the aforesaid

any third party, pertaining to the disposal of hazardous substances, pollutants or
contaminants, and cleanup necessitated by leaking underground storage tanks, excavation
and/or backfill of hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants, or environmental
cleanup responsibilities of any nature whatsoever on, of, or related to any property
dedicated to the City in connection with this development, provided that such damages or
liability are not caused by circumstances arising entirely after the date of acceptance by
the City of the public improvements constructed on the dedicated property, except to the
extent that such circumstances are the result of acts or omissions of the Developer. Said
indemnification shall not extend to claims, actions or other liability arising as a result of any
hazardous substance, pollutant or contaminant generated or deposited by the City, its
agents or representatives, upon portions of the Property dedicated to the City in connection
with this development. The City agrees to give notice to the Developer of any claim made
against it to which this indemnity and hold harmless agreement by the Developer could
apply, and the Developer shall have the right to defend any lawsuit based on such claim

City liability through such settlement. Failure of the City to give notice of any such claim
to the Developer within ninety (90) days after the City first receives a notice of such claim
under the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act for the same, shall cause this indemnity
and hold harmless agreement by the Developer to not apply to such claim and such failure

oversized street improvements in accordance with Section 24-112 of the Code of the City.
The Developer agrees and understands that the City shall have no obligation to make
reimbursement payments for street oversizing unless funds for such payments shall first

and the Developer further understands that to the extent that funds are not available for
such reimbursement, the City may not, in the absence of the Developer's agreement,
require the construction, at the Developer's expense, of any oversized portion of streets
not reasonably necessary to offset the traffic impacts of the development. The Developer
does hereby agree to construct the aforesaid oversized street improvements with the
understanding that the Developer may not be fully reimbursed by the City for the cost of
such construction. The Developer further agrees to accept payment in accordance with
Section 24-112 (d) of the Code of the City as full and final settlement and complete accord

street oversizing expenses. It is anticipated by the City that the City's reimbursement, in

Developer's actual expenses incurred and will be calculated in accordance with the formula
as set forth in Section 24-112 (d).
2. It is understood that the improvements that are to be constructed in the
public right-of-way as described in this Section II(D) are "City improvements" (as defined
below) and, as such, any contract for the construction of the same must be executed in

bidding process resulting in an award to the lowest responsible bidder; and evidence must
be submitted to the City prior to the commencement of the work showing that the award
was given to the lowest responsible bidder. If the cost of such improvements exceeds Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($50,000), the contract for the construction of the improvements must
be insured by a performance bond or other equivalent security. For purposes of this
paragraph, the term "City improvements" shall mean either (1) existing improvements
owned by the City that are to be modified or reconstructed, or (2) any improvements
funded in whole or in part by the City.
