[Amended 6-19-2018 by Ord. No. 05-2018]
A. 
Performance and/or maintenance guarantees.
(1) 
Before filing of final subdivision plats or recording of minor subdivision deeds or as a condition of final site plan approval, or as a condition of the issuance of a zoning permit pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-65, the Township shall require and accept, in accordance with the standards as contained herein and for the purpose of assuring the installation and maintenance of any required certain on-tract or off-tract improvements, the furnishing of a performance and/or maintenance guarantee(s). No plans will be signed by the Township Clerk and/or the appropriate administrative authority until and unless the required performance guarantee has been approved by the Township's Attorney and Engineer. Any such performance guarantee required by the Township shall be furnished in favor of the Township in an amount not to exceed 120% of the costs of installation of only those improvements required by an approval or developer's agreement, ordinance, or regulation to be dedicated to a public entity, and that have not yet been installed, which cost shall be determined by the Township Engineer according to the method of calculation set forth in the Municipal Land Use Law, specifically N.J.S.A. 40:55D-53.4 et seq., for the following improvements as shown on the approved plans or plat: streets, pavement, gutters, curbs, sidewalk, streetlighting, street trees, surveyor's monuments, as shown on the final map and as required by the Map Filing Law (N.J.S.A. 46:23-9.9 et seq.; repealed by section 2 of P.L. 2001, c.217) or N.J.S.A. 46:26B-1 through N.J.S.A. 46:26B-8, water mains, sanitary sewers, community septic systems, water drainage structures, public improvements of open space, and any grading necessitated by the preceding improvements.
(2) 
Logan Township shall also require a performance guarantee to include within an approved phase or section of a development privately owned perimeter buffer landscaping, as required by local ordinance or imposed as a condition of approval. At the developer's option, a separate performance guarantee may be posted for the privately owned perimeter buffer landscaping.
(3) 
In the event that the developer shall seek a certificate of occupancy (temporary or not) for a development, unit, lot, building, or phase of development, as a condition of the issuance thereof, the developer shall furnish a separate guarantee, referred to herein as a "temporary certificate of occupancy guarantee," in favor of the municipality in an amount equal to 120% of the cost of installation of only those improvements or items which remain to be completed or installed under the terms of the temporary certificate of occupancy and which are required to be installed or completed as a condition precedent to the issuance of the permanent certificate of occupancy for the development, unit, lot, building or phase of development and which are not covered by an existing performance guarantee. It shall include items such as, but not limited to, sidewalks, landscaping and street trees at subject property, roadway (including surface course) from the property to the fully improved roadway, water and sewer infrastructure from the property to main, stormwater conveyance to serve property, and stormwater management structures/basins for the current project phase. When uncompleted community facilities, such as recreation, are to be included in the temporary certificate of occupancy guarantee, it shall be required to the point of 50% occupancy. Each of these items shall apply for both residential and nonresidential development. Upon posting of a temporary certificate of occupancy guarantee, all sums remaining under a performance guarantee, required pursuant to this subsection, which relate to the development, unit, lot, building, or phase of development for which the temporary certificate of occupancy is sought, shall be released. The scope and amount of the temporary certificate of occupancy guarantee shall be determined by the municipal engineer or other designated municipal official. At no time may a municipality hold more than one guarantee or bond of any type with respect to the same line item. The temporary certificate of occupancy guarantee shall be released by the Township upon completion of the list of outstanding items.
(4) 
A developer shall furnish to the Township a safety and stabilization guarantee in favor of the Township. At developer's option, a safety and stabilization guarantee may be furnished either as a separate guarantee or as a line item of the performance guarantee. A safety and stabilization guarantee shall be available to the municipality solely for the purpose of returning property that has been disturbed to a safe and stable condition or otherwise implementing measures to protect the public from access to an unsafe or unstable condition, only in the circumstance that:
(a) 
Site disturbance has commenced and, thereafter, all work on the development has ceased for a period of at least 60 consecutive days following such commencement for reasons other than force majeure; and
(b) 
Work has not recommenced within 30 days following the provision of written notice by the municipality to the developer of the municipality's intent to claim payment under the guarantee. The Township will not provide notice of its intent to claim payment under a safety and stabilization guarantee until a period of at least 60 days has elapsed during which all work on the development has ceased for reasons other than force majeure. The Township shall provide written notice to a developer by certified mail or other form of delivery providing evidence of receipt.
(c) 
Safety and stabilization guarantee amounts:
[1] 
For a development with bonded improvements in an amount not exceeding $100,000 shall be $5,000.
[2] 
For a development with bonded improvements exceeding $100,000 shall be calculated as a percentage of the bonded improvement costs of the development or phase of development as follows: $5,000 for the first $100,000 of bonded improvement costs, plus 2.5% of bonded improvement costs in excess of $100,000 up to $1,000,000, plus 1% of bonded improvement costs in excess of $1,000,000.
(5) 
Performance guarantees shall be provided to the Township with a minimum 10% cash portion.
B. 
Cost estimates of improvements. The Township Engineer shall prepare an itemized cost estimate of the improvements covered by the performance guarantee, which itemized cost estimate shall be appended to each performance guarantee posted by the obligor.
C. 
Further provisions.
(1) 
The developer shall post with the municipality, prior to the release of a performance guarantee required pursuant to Subsection A of this section, a maintenance guarantee, in an amount not to exceed 15% of the cost of the installation of the public improvements which are being released.
(2) 
If required, the developer shall post with the municipality, upon the inspection and issuance of final approval of the following private site improvements by the municipal engineer, a maintenance guarantee in an amount not to exceed 15% of the cost of the installation of the following private site improvements: stormwater management basins, in-flow and water quality structures within the basins, and the out-flow pipes and structures of the stormwater management system, if any, which cost shall be determined according to the method of calculation set forth in N.J.S.A. 40:55D-53.4.
(3) 
The term of the maintenance guarantee shall be for a period of two years and shall automatically expire at the end of the established term. In the event that other governmental agencies or public utilities automatically will own the utilities to be installed, or the improvements are covered by the performance or maintenance guarantee to another governmental agency, no performance or maintenance guarantee, as the case may be, shall be required by the municipality or such utilities or improvements.
(4) 
Maintenance guarantees shall be provided to the Township with a minimum 10% cash portion.
D. 
Time for improvements to be completed. All on-tract and/or off-tract improvements, as required, shall be completed by either (a) 18 months after construction has begun on the development in question or (b) at such time as one-half of the certificates of occupancy have been issued in said development, whichever event occurs first. If the development is to take place in phases or stages, then the same shall apply to each phase or stage, once construction has begun on the same. In the event that any or all off-tract and/or on-tract improvements are common to all phases or stages, and are specific to no single phase or stage, then all such on-tract and off-tract improvements shall be completed once one-half of the certificates of occupancy have been issued for the entire development, regardless of the phases or stages begun or completed. The time allowed for installation of the guarantee improvements for which the performance guarantee has been provided may be extended by resolution of the Township Council. As a condition or as a part of any such extension, the amount of any performance guarantee shall be increased or reduced, as the case may be, to an amount not to exceed 120% of the cost of the installation, which cost shall be determined by the Township Engineer according to the method of calculation set forth in N.J.S.A. 40-55D-53.4 as of the time of the passage of the resolution.
E. 
Noncompletion. If the required guarantee improvements are not completed or corrected in accordance with the performance guarantee, the obligor and surety, if any, shall be liable thereon to the Township for the reasonable cost of the improvements not completed or corrected and the Township may either, prior to or after the receipt of the proceeds thereof, complete such improvements. Such completion or correction of improvements shall be subject to the public bidding requirements of the Local Public Contracts Law (N.J.S.A. 40A:11-1 et seq.).
(1) 
In no case shall any paving work be done without permission from the Township Engineer. At least two working days' notice shall be given to the Township Engineer, or an authorized Township representative, so that either may be present at the time that the work is to be completed.
(2) 
Streets should not be paved with a wearing course until all heavy construction has been completed. Shade trees shall not be planted until all grading and earthmoving is completed. The seeding of grass and the placing of surveyor's monuments shall be among the last operations. Where berming and/or natural screening is to take place as a buffer due to the development being along either a Township, county or state road or highway, and said berming or natural screening is to have trees or other forms of vegetation, such improvement shall be among the first to take place in the development and shall be completed prior to the issuance of the first certificate of occupancy, and all such trees or other forms of required vegetation shall be fertilized and sprinklerized in a manner to be approved by the Township's Planner, so as to insure both the survivability of said trees or vegetation and to insure the rapid growth of the same.
(3) 
The Township Engineer shall be notified prior to the commencement of each of the following phases of work so that he or she, or an authorized Township representative, may inspect the following work (which list shall be neither exclusive not exhaustive):
(a) 
Road subgrade;
(b) 
Curb and gutter forms;
(c) 
Road paving;
(d) 
Sidewalk forms;
(e) 
Sidewalks;
(f) 
Drainage pipes and other drainage construction;
(g) 
Street name signs;
(h) 
Monuments;
(i) 
Fire hydrants;
(j) 
Water facilities;

(m) 
Topsoil, seeding and planting;
(n) 
Underground utilities;
(o) 
Recreational and open space amenities;
(p) 
Buffering amenities.
(4) 
Any improvement installed without notice for inspection having been given pursuant to Subsection E(3), immediately above, shall constitute just cause for:
(a) 
Removal of the uninspected improvement at the developer's expense;
(b) 
Payment by the developer of any cost for materials testing and subsequent inspections;
(c) 
Restoration by the developer of any improvements distributed during any material testing; and/or
(d) 
Issuance of a stop-work order by the Township Engineer pending the resolution of any dispute.
(5) 
Inspection by the Township of the installation of improvements and utilities shall not subject the Township to liability, directly or indirectly, for claims, suits or liability of any kind that may arise because of defects or negligence during construction, or at any time thereafter. It shall be the responsibility of the developer, and the contractors or subcontractors acting under his authority or control, to maintain safe conditions at all times during construction.
F. 
Upon substantial completion of all required street improvements (except for the top course) and appurtenant utility improvements, and the connection of the same to the public system, the obligor may request of the Township Council in writing, by certified mail, return receipt requested, and in care of the Township Clerk, that the Township Engineer prepare, in accordance with the itemized cost estimate prepared by the Township Engineer and appended to the performance guarantee as hereinbefore set forth, a list of all uncompleted, or unsatisfactorily completed, guarantee improvements. If such a request is made, the obligor shall send a copy of the request to the Township Engineer. The request shall indicate which guarantee improvements have been completed and which guarantee improvements remain uncompleted in the judgment of the obligor. Thereupon the Township Engineer shall inspect all guarantee improvements covered by the obligor's request and shall file a detailed list and report, in writing, with the Township Council, and shall simultaneously send a copy thereof to the obligor not later than 45 days after receipt of the obligor's request.
G. 
The list prepared by the Township Engineer shall state, in detail, with respect to each guarantee improvement determined to be incomplete, or unsatisfactorily completed, the nature and extent of the incompleteness of each incomplete improvement, or the nature and extent of, and remedy for, the unsatisfactory state and nature of each improvement deemed to have been unsatisfactorily completed. The report prepared by the Township Engineer shall identify each guarantee improvement determined to be complete and satisfactory, together with a recommendation as to the amount of reduction to be made in the performance guarantee relating to the completed and satisfactory improvement in accordance with the itemized cost estimate prepared by the Township Engineer and appended to the performance guarantee as required and set forth herein.
H. 
The Township Council, by resolution, shall either approve the guarantee improvements determined to be complete and satisfactory by the Township Engineer, or reject some or all of these guarantee improvements upon establishment in the resolution of the reason for such rejection, and shall approve and authorize the amount of reduction to be made in the performance guarantee relating to the guarantee improvements accepted, in accordance with the itemized cost estimate prepared by the Township Engineer and appended to the performance guarantee as set forth and required herein. This resolution shall be adopted not later than 45 days after receipt of the list and report prepared by the Township Engineer. Upon adoption of the resolution by the Township Council, the obligor shall be released from all liability pursuant to its performance guarantee with respect to the approved improvements, except for that portion adequately sufficient to secure completion or correction of the improvements not yet approved; provided that 30% of the amount of the total performance guarantee and "safety and stabilization guarantee" posted may be retained to ensure completion and acceptability of all improvements. The "safety and stabilization guarantee" shall be reduced by the same percentage as the performance guarantee is being reduced at the time of each performance guarantee reduction.
I. 
For the purpose of releasing the obligor from liability pursuant to its performance guarantee, the amount of the performance guarantee attributable to each approved guarantee improvement shall be reduced by the total amount for each such improvement, in accordance with the itemized costs estimate prepared by the Township Engineer and appended to the performance guarantee as previously set forth herein, including any contingency factor applied to the cost of installation. If the sum of the approved guarantee improvements would exceed 70% of the total amount of the performance guarantee, then the Township may retain 30% of the amount of the total performance guarantee and safety and stabilization guarantee to ensure completion and acceptability of guarantee improvements, as provided above, except that any amount of the performance guarantee attributable to guarantee improvements for which a temporary certificate of occupancy guarantee has been posted shall be released from the performance guarantee even if such release would reduce the amount held by the Township below 30%.
J. 
If the Township Engineer fails to send or provide the list and report as requested by the obligor and pursuant to the requirements as herein set forth, within 45 days of receipt of the request, the obligor may apply to the court in a summary manner for an order compelling the Township Engineer to provide the list and report within a stated time and the cost of applying to the court, including reasonable attorney's fees, may be awarded to the prevailing party.
K. 
If the Township Council fails to either approve or reject the guarantee improvements determined by the Township Engineer to be compete and satisfactory, or reduce the performance guarantee for the complete and satisfactory improvements within 45 days from the receipt of the Township Engineer's list and report, the obligor may apply to the court in a summary manner for an order compelling, within a stated time, approval of the complete and satisfactory improvements and approval of a reduction in the performance guarantee for the approvable complete and satisfactory improvements in accordance with the itemized cost estimate prepared by the Township Engineer and appended to the performance guarantee as set forth hereinbefore, and the cost of applying to the court, including reasonable attorney's fees, may be awarded to the prevailing party.
L. 
In the event that the obligator has made a cash deposit with the Township or approving authority as part of the performance guarantee, then any partial reduction granted in the performance guarantee pursuant to this subsection shall be applied to the cash deposit in the same proportion as the original cash deposit bears to the full amount of the performance guarantee, provided that if the developer has furnished a safety and stabilization guarantee the Township may retain cash equal to the amount of the remaining safety and stabilization guarantee.
M. 
If any portion of the required guarantee improvements is rejected, the approving authority may require the obligor to complete or correct such improvements and, upon completion or correction, the same procedure of notification as set forth in this section shall be followed.
N. 
Nothing herein, however, shall be construed to limit the right of the obligor to contest, by legal proceedings, any determination by the Township Council or the Township Engineer.
O. 
The obligor shall reimburse the Township for reasonable inspection fees paid to the Township Engineer for the foregoing inspection of improvements; which fees shall not exceed the sum of the amounts set forth in Subsection O(1) and (2) of this subsection. The Township may require the developer to post the inspection fees in escrow the amount:
(1) 
Not to exceed, except for extraordinary circumstances, the greater of $500 or 5% of the cost of bonded improvements that are subject to a performance guarantee under Subsection O(1), Subsection O(2), or both Subsection O(1) and (2) of this section; and
(2) 
Not to exceed 5% of the cost of private site improvements that are not subject to a performance guarantee under Subsection O(1) this section, which cost shall be determined pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-53.4.
P. 
For those developments for which the inspection fees total less than $10,000, fees may, at the option of the developer, be paid in two installments. In any such event, the initial amount deposited in escrow by the developer shall be equal to 50% of the inspection fees. When the balance on deposit drops to 10% of the inspection fees because the amount deposited by the developer has been reduced by the amount paid to the Township Engineer for inspections, the developer shall deposit the remaining 50% of the inspection fees. For those developments for which the inspection fees total $10,000 or greater, fees may, at the option of the developer, be paid in four installments. The initial amount deposited in escrow by a developer shall be 25% of the inspection fees. When the balance on deposit drops to 10% of the inspection fees because the amount deposited by the developer has been reduced by the amount paid to the Township Engineer for inspections, the developer shall make additional deposits of 25% of the inspection fees. If the Township determines that the amount in escrow for the payment of inspection fees, as calculated pursuant to Subsection O(1) and (2) of this section, is insufficient to cover the cost of additional required inspections, the Township may require the developer to deposit additional funds in escrow provided that the Township delivers to the developer a written inspection escrow deposit request, signed by the Township Engineer, which informs the developer of the need for additional inspections, details the items or undertakings that require inspection, estimates the time required for those inspections, and estimates the cost of performing those inspections. In the event that final approval is by stages or sections of development pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-38, the provisions of this section shall be applied by stage or section.
Q. 
To the extent that any of the improvements have been dedicated to the Township on the subdivision plat or site plan, the Township Council shall be deemed, upon the release of any performance guarantee required pursuant to such requirements as have been hereinbefore set forth, to accept dedication for public use of streets or roads and any other improvements made thereon according to site plans and subdivision plats approved by the approving authority, provided that such improvements have been inspected and have been received final approval by the Township Engineer.
R. 
Standardized form for performance guaranteed, maintenance guarantee, letter of credit. A standardized form, and accompanying regulations, in accordance with the provisions of N.J.S.A. 40:55D-53a, -53b, N.J.A.C. 5:39-1.1 and N.J.A.C. 5:39-1.3, shall be utilized for all performance guarantees, maintenance guarantees, or letters of credit to be used pursuant to the terms, conditions and requirements of this section.
