B. All water lines, sanitary sewer collection lines, storm sewer lines and facilities,
streets, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and bikepaths shall be installed as shown on the
approved utility plans and in full compliance with the standards and specifications of the
City on file in the office of the City Engineer at the time of approval of the utility plans
relating to the specific utility, subject to a three (3) year time limitation from the date of
execution of this Agreement. In the event that the Developer commences or performs any
construction pursuant hereto after the passage of three (3) years from the date of
execution of this agreement, the Developer shall resubmit the utility plans to the City
Engineer for reexamination. The City may then require the Developer to comply with the
approved standards and specifications of the City on file in the office of the City Engineer
at the time of the resubmittal.
C. No building permit for the construction of any structure within the development
shall be issued by the City until the public water lines and stubs to each lot, fire hydrants,
sanitary sewer lines and stubs to each lot, and public streets (including curb, gutter, and
pavement with at least the base course completed) serving such structure have been
completed and accepted by the City. No building permits shall be issued for any structure
located in excess of six hundred and sixty feet (660') from a single point of access, unless
the structures contain sprinkler systems that are approved by the Poudre Fire Authority.
D. Any water lines, sanitary sewer lines, storm drainage lines, and/or streets
described on Exhibit 'A," attached hereto, shall be installed within the time and/or
sequence required on Exhibit "A." If the City Engineer has determined that any water lines,
sanitary sewer lines, storm drainage facilities and/or streets are required to provide service
or access to other areas of the City, those facilities shall be shown on the utility plans and
shall be installed by the Developer within the time as established under "Special
Conditions" in this document.
E. Except as otherwise herein specifically agreed, the Developer agrees to install
and pay for all water, sanitary sewer, and storm drainage facilities and appurtenances, and
all streets, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, bikeways and other public improvements required by
this development as shown on the approved final development plan documents and other
approved documents pertaining to this development on file with the City.
F. Street improvements shall not be installed until all utility lines to be placed therein
have been completely installed, including all individual lot service lines leading in and from
the main to the property line.
G. The installation of all utilities shown on the final development plan documents
shall be inspected by the Engineering Department of the City and shall be subject to such
department's approval. The Developer agrees to correct any deficiencies in such
installations in order to meet the requirements of the plans and/or specifications applicable
2
to such installation. In case of conflict, the final development plan documents shall
supersede the standard specifications.
H. Developments constructed with privately maintained streets shall be constructed
to the same design standards as those constructed on similar public rights -of -way (ROW).
Public easements shall be provided for access, utilities and drainage as required by the
design and location of such infrastructure and as reflected on the plans. Alignment and
grades on privately maintained streets and drives shall allow for safe access, ingress and
egress by owners, visitors, the general public and public safety officials and equipment, as
approved by the City Engineer.
I. All storm drainage facilities shall be so designed and constructed by the
Developer as to protect downstream and adjacent properties against injury and to
adequately serve the Property (and other lands as may be required, if any). The Developer
shall meet or exceed the minimum requirements for storm drainage facilities as have been
established by the City in its Drainage Master Plans and Design Criteria. The Developer
does hereby indemnify and hold harmless the City from any and all claims that might arise,
directly or indirectly, as a result of the discharge of injurious storm drainage or seepage
waters from the Property in a manner or quantity different from that which was historically
discharged and caused by the design or construction of the storm drainage facilities,
except for (1) such claims and damages as are caused by the acts or omissions of the City
in maintenance of such facilities as have been accepted by the City for maintenance; (2)
errors, if any, in the general concept of the City's master plans (but not to include any
details of such plans, which details shall be the responsibility of the Developer); and (3)
specific written or otherwise documented directives that may be given to the Developer by
the City. 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 and to settle any
such claim provided Developer must obtain a complete discharge of all 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 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
indemnification. The Developer shall engage a Colorado licensed professional engineer
to design the storm drainage facilities as aforesaid and it is expressly affirmed hereby that
such engagement shall be intended for the benefit of the City, and subsequent purchasers
of property in the development.
J. The Developer shall pay storm drainage basin fees in accordance with Chapter
26, Article VII of the City Code. Storm drainage improvements eligible for credit or City
repayment under the provisions of Chapter 26 are described together with the estimated
cost of the improvements on the attached Exhibit "B," which improvements, if applicable,
41
shall include right-of-way, design and construction costs. See Section II.C, Special
Conditions, Storm Drainage Lines and Appurtenances, for specific instructions.
K. The Developer shall provide the City Engineer with certified Record Plan
Transparencies on Black Image Diazo Reverse Mylars upon completion of any phase of
the construction. Utilities will not be initially accepted prior to as -built drawings being
submitted to and approved by the City of Fort Collins.
L. The Developer specifically represents that to the best of its knowledge all
portions of the Property dedicated (both in fee simple and as easements) to the City
associated with this development are in compliance with all environmental protection and
anti -pollution laws, rules, regulations, orders or requirements, including solid waste
requirements, as defined by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Regulations at 40
C.F.R., Part 261, and that such portions of the Property as are dedicated to the City
pursuant to this development, are in compliance with all such requirements pertaining to
the disposal or existence in or on such dedicated property of any hazardous substances,
pollutants or contaminants, as defined by the Comprehensive Environmental Response
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, and regulations promulgated
thereunder. The Developer does hereby indemnify and hold harmless the City from any
liability whatsoever that may be imposed upon the City by any governmental authority,
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. The Developer further agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless the City from any claims or actions based directly, indirectly or in any
manner on any of the aforementioned environmental risks brought against the City by third
parties arising as a result of the dedication of portions of the Property to the City in
connection with this development. 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 and to settle any such claim provided Developer
must obtain a complete discharge of all 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 shall constitute a release of this indemnity and hold
harmless agreement as to such claim.
II. Special Conditions

A. Water Lines
Not Applicable
B. Sewer Lines
Not Applicable
C. Storm Drainage Lines and Appurtenances
1. The Developer and the City agree that all on -site and off -site storm
drainage improvements, as shown on the approved final development plan documents,
shall be completed by the Developer in accordance with said final development plan
documents prior to the issuance of any certificate of occupancy for the development.
Completion of improvements shall include the certification by a professional engineer
licensed in Colorado that the drainage facilities which serve this development have been
constructed in conformance with said final development plan documents. Said certification
shall be submitted to the City at least two weeks prior to the date of issuance of any
certificate of occupancy for the development.
2. The Developer agrees to provide and maintain erosion control
improvements as shown on the approved final development plan documents to stabilize
all over -lot grading in and adjacent to this development. The Developer shall also be
required to post a security deposit in the amount of $ 1,000 prior to beginning construction
to guarantee the proper installation and maintenance of the erosion control measures
shown on the approved final development plan documents. Said security deposit(s) shall
be made in accordance with the criteria set forth in the City's Storm Drainage Design
Criteria and Construction Standards (Criteria). If, at any time, the Developer fails to abide
by the provisions of the approved final development plan documents or the Criteria, the
City may enter upon the Property for the purpose of making such improvements and
undertaking such activities as may be necessary to ensure that the provisions of said plans
and the Criteria are properly enforced. The City may apply such portion of the security
deposit(s) as may be necessary to pay all costs incurred by the City in undertaking the
administration, construction, and/or installation of the erosion control measures required
by said plans and the Criteria. In addition, the City shall have the option to withhold
building permits and certificates of occupancy, as stated in Paragraph III.D of this
Agreement, as it deems necessary in order to ensure that the Developer installs and
maintains the erosion control measures throughout the buildout of this development.
3. No building permit for this development shall be issued until a Floodplain
Use Permit is issued for this development.
4. The building to be constructed in this development is within a Floodplain
and it is agreed that it is of the utmost importance that no storm water enters said building.
In order to provide the assurance that said building is constructed at the required elevation
61
above the floodplain level, the approved final development plan documents contain
specifications for the minimum elevation for any opening to the building. Prior to the
issuance of a certificate of occupancy for said building, the Developer shall provide
certification from a professional engineer licensed in Colorado that the lowest opening to
said building is at or above the minimum elevation required on the approved final
development plan documents. Said certification is in addition to, and may be done in
conjunction with, the site certification described in paragraph II.C.1. above.
5. The Developer shall obtain the City's prior approval of any changes from
the approved final development plan documents in grade elevations and/or storm drainage
facility configuration that occur as a result of the construction of houses and/or
development of lots, whether by the Developer or other parties. The City reserves the right
to withhold the issuance of building permits and certificates of occupancies for this
development until the City has approved such changes as being acceptable for the safe
and efficient delivery of storm drainage water.
6. The Developer and the City agree that the Developer is obligated to
maintain all on -site storm drainage facilities not accepted for maintenance by the City and
all off -site storm drainage facilities not accepted for maintenance by the City serving this
development and outside of the public rights -of -way.
D. Streets.
1. The Developer and the City agree that no street oversizing reimbursement
from the City is due the Developer for this development.
2. The City and the Developer agree that the replacement of the curb, gutter
and sidewalk on Laporte Avenue and College Avenue and acceptance by the City of said
improvements shall be completed prior to the issuance of the first certificate of occupancy,
but shall not be required prior to the issuance of building permits.
3. It is the City's desire to construct improvements to the public right-of-way
adjacent to 185 N. College Avenue in conjunction with the construction of the proposed
building at this same location. The improvements generally consist of sidewalk, curb and
gutter, brick pavers and landscaping. The City believes that if the work is completed in
tandem with the development of this Project, the impact to both the development and the
public will be minimized. The funds to be used to pay for said street improvements will
come from the General Improvement District (GID) of the downtown area.
Therefore, the Developer agrees to include in his/her bid package both the utility plans for
the 185 N. College Avenue building improvements and the GID improvement plans
referred to as the "Laporte Avenue and College Avenue Intersection plans and
specifications". The Developer also agrees to use the '185 N. College Avenue - General
Improvement District Bid Schedules' (exhibit "C") for both the base bid and the enhanced
GID project bid to establish the amount the Developer shall receive as reimbursement from
the City via the GID.
It is understood that the improvements that are to be constructed in the public right-of-way
as described in this Subsection 3 are "City improvements" (as defined below) and, as
such, any contract for the construction of the same must be executed in writing. If the cost
of such improvements exceeds the sum of Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000), the contract
for the construction of the same must be submitted to a competitive 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.
In addition to the foregoing, the Developer shall submit to the City a minimum of three
competitive bids for review prior to the award of any work. The City shall be assured that
the contractor selected is competent and capable of completing the work. All contractors
bidding shall meet the requirements set forth by the City's purchasing regulations.
The City will provide a construction inspectorto monitorthe process and quality of the work
done within the public right-of-way. A maximum of one progress payment per month may
be made if needed due to unforseen delay beyond the control of the owner. Payment will
be determined based upon the'185 N. College Avenue - General Improvement District Bid
Schedules' (exhibit "C") when the project is complete and has been finally accepted by the
City, or when a progress payment is warranted as provided above. Final acceptance will
occur when the City determines that the project is complete according to the plans and
specifications. City personnel will measure the final field quantities and payment to the
developer will be made according to these measured quantities. Measured quantities will
be paid according to the '185 N. College Avenue - General Improvement District Bid
Schedules' on a unit price basis to determine the payment amount. Prior to final
acceptance the developer shall obtain, on the City's behalf, lien waiver release forms from
both the general contractor and his/her subcontractors who perform work on this project.
If any changes occur or conditions arise during construction within public right-of-way that
were unknown at the time of bidding, the Developer shall contact the City and obtain
written approval to perform extra work under this agreement. All change order items that
would be paid for by the City must be approved by the City prior to the commencement of
any such work.
Any questions regarding the GID improvements associated with the 185 N. College Ave.
building project should be directed to the following:

4. The Developer and the City agree that the Developer is responsible for
all costs for the initial installation of traffic signing and striping for this development related
to the development's local street operations. In addition the Developer is responsible for
all costs for traffic signing and striping related to directing traffic access to and from the
development (e.g., all signing and striping for a right turn lane into the development site).
5. A Colorado State Highway Access Permit must be obtained by the
Developer prior to beginning construction of any improvements on North College Avenue.
All improvements to said street shall be completed prior to the issuance of any certificate
of occupancy.
E. Ground Water
1. The City shall not be responsible for, and the Developer hereby agrees
to indemnify and hold harmless the City against, any damages or injuries sustained in the
development as a result of ground water seepage or flooding, structural damage, or other
damage unless such damages or injuries are sustained as a result of the City's failure to
properly maintain its storm drainage facilities in the 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 and to settle any such claim provided Developer
must obtain a complete discharge of all 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 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 such claim and such failure shall constitute a release of this indemnity and hold
harmless agreement as to such claim.
F. Hazards and Emergency Access
1. No combustible material will be allowed on the site until a permanent
water system is installed by the Developer and approved by the City.
2. Prior to beginning any building construction, and throughout the buildout
of this development, the Developer shall provide and maintain at all times an accessway
to said building or buildings. Such accessway shall be adequate to handle any emergency
vehicles or equipment, and the accessway shall be kept open during all phases of
construction. Such accessway shall be constructed to an unobstructed width of at least
20 feet with 4 inches of aggregate base course material compacted according to city
standards and with an 80 foot diameter turnaround at the building end of said accessway.
The turnaround is not required if an exit point is provided at the end of the accessway.
Prior to the construction of said accessway, a plan for the accessway shall be submitted
to and approved by the Poudre Fire Authority and City Engineer. (Three plan sets shall be
submitted to the Poudre Fire Authority at 102 Remington Street for review and processing.)
If such accessway is at any time deemed inadequate by the Poudre Fire Authority or City
Engineer, the accessway shall be promptly brought into compliance and until such time
that the accessway is brought into compliance, the City and/or the Poudre Fire Authority
may issue a stop work order for all or part of the Development.
G. Footing and Foundation Permits
1. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Developer shall have the right to obtain a Footing and Foundation permit upon the
