any lots which may be assessed for public improvements, facilities and sidewalks under the provisions of Chapters 364 and 384 of the Iowa Code. It is further provided that this requirement to construct said public improvements, facilities and sidewalks is and shall remain a lien from the date of execution until properly released as hereinafter provided. D. The Developer acknowledges and agrees that all lots of the subdivision are specifically benefited by the public improvements, facilities and sidewalks, and the cost of such public improvements, facilities and sidewalks need not meet the requirements of notice, benefit or value as provided by the law of the State of Iowa for assessing such improvements and facilities. SECTION 8. ENGINEERING ADMINISTRATION AND CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATION A. The Developer shall submit to the City, for approval by the City Engineer, plans and specifications for the construction of improvements in the subdivision which have been prepared by a registered professional civil engineer. The Developer shall obtain approval of the construction plans and all necessary permits from the appropriate city, state and federal agencies before proceeding with construction. In addition, the Developer shall cause to have its engineer provide adequate field inspection personnel to ensure that an acceptable level of quality control is maintained. B. The Developer shall pay all costs of engineering administration, which will include review of the Developer’s final construction plans and specifications, monitoring of construction, and consultation with the Developer and its engineer on the status, progress or other issues regarding the project. The Developer shall pay for the reasonable construction observation performed by the City staff or consulting City Engineer. Construction observation will consist of examination of proposed public utilities, street construction and other infrastructure improvements. The engineering administrative fee and construction observation fees to be paid by the Developer shall be determined by the City, in part based on the standard hourly fee schedule in effect between the City Engineer and the City on file at City Hall and in part based on standard fees for other staff members that perform the duties noted above. The City shall provide the appropriate supporting documentation for these fees upon request by the Developer. SECTION 9. RELEASE The City agrees that when the public improvements, facilities and sidewalks required by Section 3 of this Agreement have been installed to the satisfaction of the City, it will promptly issue appropriate releases of various lots of the subdivision for recording in the Johnson County Recorder’s Office so that this Agreement, or applicable portions thereof, will no longer constitute a cloud on the title of the lots in said subdivision. SECTION 10. DEVELOPER’S OBLIGATION AND DEFAULT A. The Developer agrees and is fully obligated to perform as provided in this Agreement. The Developer is liable and responsible for each and every obligation agreed to be undertaken pursuant to this Agreement. Failure of the Developer, its employees, agents or assigns, to perform is not a defense for the Developer against any action to be taken by the City. 7
