The period of time specified herein shall be expressed in the guarantee. The developers shall construct and complete all required improvements in utilities under one of the following procedures, as designated by the Board of Aldermen:
1. 
Performance contract. Prior to final plat approval, the Board of Aldermen shall require an agreement signed by the developer in which the developer guarantees completion of all required improvements within a reasonable period specified by the Board. The agreement shall be secured by a pledge obligation of the developer under the agreements and shall not be assigned without the expressed written consent of the Board of Aldermen. Upon a breach of any part of the agreement by the developer, the Board may, at its option, pursue any legal or equitable remedy necessary to ensure completion and payment by the subdivider for the required improvements and utilities.
2. 
Performance bond. Prior to the final plat approval, the Board of Aldermen shall require a bond or such other surety as it may deem appropriate to secure the construction to be completed within a reasonable period specified by the Board of Aldermen and expressed in the bond or other surety, in an amount and with surety and conditions satisfactory to the Board of Aldermen.
3. 
Bond released. When any escrow amount held by the City to secure actual construction and installation on each component of the improvements or utilities shall be released within thirty (30) days of completion of each category of improvement or utility work to be installed, minus a maximum retention of five percent (5%) which shall be released upon completion of all improvements and utility work. Any such category of improvement or utility work shall be deemed to be completed upon certification by the City that the project is complete in accordance with the ordinance of the City, including the filing of all documentation and certifications required by the City in complete and acceptable form. The release shall be deemed effective when the escrow funds are duly posted with the United States Postal Service or other agreed-upon delivery service or when the escrow funds are hand delivered to an authorized person or place as specified by the owner or developer.
4. 
Cash. In lieu of the performance contract and/or performance bond, the developer may deposit with the City such sum, in cash, as the Board of Aldermen may require, sufficient to secure the completion of all improvements.
