Before approving any subdivision plan, Council shall require a written agreement between the City of Warren and the subdivider that the necessary grading, paving and street improvements, sidewalks, monuments, streetlights, fire hydrants, water mains, sanitary sewers and storm sewers, as may be required by the City, shall be constructed and installed by the subdivider in strict accordance with the standards and specifications within a specified time period not to exceed two years. At the time of the execution of the written agreement, the subdivider shall give to the Borough a performance bond with adequate surety to guarantee to the City that the subdivider will construct, or cause to be constructed, the required improvements that were an integral part of his approved final plan. The amount of the bond shall be determined by the City Engineer, and the amount of the bond shall be in sufficient amount to cover the cost of said improvement. The performance bond of the subdivider shall be approved by the City Solicitor as to form, and the President of the Council and the City Secretary shall not sign the approved map until certification from the City Solicitor that the bond in is proper form. As public improvements are installed by the subdivider, the amount of this performance bond may be reduced by Council upon recommendation of the City Engineer. The time for performance under said agreement and under the accompanying bond may be extended beyond the two-year approval upon mutual agreement between Council and the subdivider. The failure to complete the work required under this agreement within a specified time or the failure to perform the work under said agreement in accordance with the plans and specifications shall be cause for proceeding against the subdivider on his bond.
