A.
As a condition of final site plan approval, the Planning
Board may require a performance guaranty in accordance with the standards
adopted by ordinance for the purpose of assuring the installation
and maintenance of on-tract improvements based on an estimate of the
costs of the same to be performed by the Township Engineer or, at
his discretion, the Planning Board Engineer.
[Amended 1-8-1980 by Ord. No. 354-3C-80]
B.
The furnishing of a performance guaranty in favor of the municipality shall be required in an amount not to exceed 120% of the cost of installation for improvements it may deem necessary or appropriate, including streets, grading, pavement, gutters, curbs, sidewalks, streetlighting, shade trees, surveyor's monuments as shown on the final map and required by the Map Filing Law, P.L. 1960, c. 141 (N.J.S.A. 46:23-9.9 et seq.), water mains, culverts, storm sewers, sanitary sewers or other means of sewage disposal, drainage structures, erosion control and sedimentation control devices, public improvements of open space and, in the case of site plans only, other on-site and on-tract improvements and landscaping. In the event that, prior to the installation of any or all of the improvements, the Township Engineer shall determine that the amount of the performance bond previously posted is inadequate to complete the improvements remaining due to increased construction costs, the Township Engineer shall have the right to recompute the performance guaranty and to require the applicant to supply a supplementary performance guaranty in the amount of the increased cost. All off-tract improvements shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Article XLI of Part 3 of this chapter, § 245-341 et seq., which is hereby incorporated by reference.
C.
Provision shall be made for a maintenance guaranty
to be posted with the governing body for a period not to exceed two
years after final acceptance of the improvement, in an amount not
to exceed 15% of the cost of the improvement. In the event that other
governmental agencies or public utilities automatically will own the
utilities to be installed or the improvements are covered by a performance
or maintenance guaranty to another governmental agency, no performance
or maintenance guaranty, as the case may be, shall be required by
the municipality for such utilities or improvements.
D.
The amount of any performance guaranty may be reduced
by the governing body, by resolution, when a portion of the improvement
has been certified by the Municipal Engineer to have been completed.
The time allowed for installation of the improvements for which the
performance guaranty has been provided may be extended by said body
by resolution. If the required improvements are not completed or corrected
in accordance with the performance guaranty, the obligor and surety.
If any, shall be liable thereon to the municipality for the reasonable
cost of the improvements not completed or corrected, and the municipality
may, either prior to or after the receipt of the proceeds thereof,
complete such improvements.
E.
As-built drawings shall be submitted before a guaranty
is considered for release. As each partial release is applied for,
as-built drawings of the bonded improvements installed shall be submitted
to the Township Engineer.
F.
The governing body shall either approve, partially
approve or reject the improvements on the basis of the report of the
Municipal Engineer and shall notify the obligor, in writing and by
certified mail, of the contents of said report and the action of said
approving authority with relation thereto not later than 65 days after
receipt of the notice from the obligor of the completion of the improvements.
Where partial approval is granted, the obligor shall be released from
all liability pursuant to its performance guaranty, except for that
portion adequately sufficient to secure provision of the improvements
not yet approved. Failure of the governing body to send or provide
such notification to the obligor within 65 days shall be deemed to
constitute approval of the improvements and the obligor and surety,
if any, shall be released from all liability pursuant to such performance
guaranty.
G.
If any portion of the required improvements is rejected,
the approving authority may require the obligor to complete such improvements,
and, upon completion, the same procedure of notification as set forth
in this section shall be followed.
H.
Nothing herein, however, shall be construed to limit
the right of the obligor to contest by legal proceedings any determination
of the governing body or the Municipal Engineer.
I.
The obligor shall reimburse the municipality for all
reasonable inspection fees paid to the Municipal Engineer for the
foregoing inspection of improvements.
