Re: Enclave at Medina 4a'— Warranty Bond Request
City Project No. SD-13-097, WSB Project No. 02065-480
Dear Mr. Tabone:
The City of Medina's engineering consultant has completed the construction observation and testing of
the watermain, sanitary sewer, street and storm sewer utilities (Subdivision Improvements) for the
Enclave at Medina 4u' development as required by the Development Agreement. The City Council must
formally accept the Subdivision Improvements by resolution at a regularly scheduled council meeting.
Prior to acceptance of the Subdivision Improvements by the City Council, the developer is required to
submit a two year warranty bond for 100% of the construction costs of the Subdivision Improvements.
For this project, the warranty bond shall be in the amount of $391,119.69 based on the construction
cost estimates previously provided by the developer's engineer. The warranty bond shall cover any
public utility and street repairs, including any street repairs necessary to repair the public utilities,
required within the warranty period.
City staff and their engineering consultant will consider a reduction in the Letter of Credit after the City
Council formally accepts the Subdivision Improvements.
Please submit the warranty bond dated effective November 4, 2016 through November 4, 2018 to the
attention of City Administrator Scott Johnson at Medina City Hall no later than November 4, 2016 for
consideration at the November 15, 2016 council meeting.
