City Code Section
- A. Assurance of Performance shall be for a sum approved by the Director of the Bureau of Transportation as sufficient to cover 100 percent of the cost of design, superintendence, and construction of improvements authorized under permit. Such assurance may, at the discretion of the Director of the Bureau of Transportation, be in the form of separate assurances covering individual stages of a staged development or covering the installation of various individual improvements rather than a single assurance of performance covering 100 percent of the cost of all improvements to the entire land division. Deposits for engineering and superintendence as required by Title 17 or by Title 5 are in addition to the filing of such assurances of performance.
- B. Assurance of performance for public improvements may be in one of the following forms as approved by the City Attorney:
- 1. Surety bond executed by a company authorized to transact business in the State of Oregon.
- 2. Irrevocable letter of credit.
- 3. Set-aside account
- 4. Cash deposit.
- 5. City Council passage of a LID Formation Ordinance for a local improvement district.
- 6. Other forms as approved by the City Attorney.
- C. If an applicant for permit fails to carry out the provisions of the application for permit, or the permittee fails to carry out the provisions of the permit, and the City has unreimbursed expenses resulting from such failure, the City shall call on the assurance of performance for reimbursement. If the amount of the assurance of performance exceeds the expenses incurred by the City, it shall release the remainder. If the amount of the assurance for performance is less than the expenses incurred by the City, the applicant or permittee shall be liable to the City for the difference. Assurance of performance covering stages or portions of a total development may be released as such stage or portion is completed to the satisfaction of the Director of the Bureau of Transportation. Twenty percent of all funds deposited as assurance of performance will be retained through the maintenance or quality assurance period; other forms of assurance of performance shall contain written provisions for a similar guarantee through the maintenance period.
