(b) 
Requester shall submit improvement plans of the proposed extension, prepared by a registered Civil Engineer in the State of California, for approval by the City Engineer.
(c) 
The person requesting said extension shall execute and file a written sewer extension performance agreement, the terms of which shall be subject to approval by the City Engineer, whereby said person agrees to complete all required improvements at his or her expense and to the satisfaction of the City Engineer, within the time period specified within the agreement. Said person further agrees to provide the City Engineer with a detailed cost breakdown of his or her actual expenditures for any improvements authorized in the agreement. The agreement shall also provide for inspection by the City Engineer, or designated representative, of all improvements, and reimbursement of the City by the requester, for the costs of the inspection. The City will invoice the requester for such inspection costs and any amount unpaid 30 days from the date of the City's invoice shall bear interest at 10% per annum beginning within 30 days after the date of the invoice. The sewer extension performance agreement may also provide: (1) for the construction of the improvements; and (2) for an extension of the time under conditions that are unspecified. No extension of time shall be granted except upon certification by the City Engineer that such extension is justified. In addition to the requirements of this section said person shall provide the City with a 100% performance and 50% labor and material bond or other suitable security as deemed appropriate by the City Attorney.

No hookup to the public sewer will be permitted until all improvement work has been completed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and all charges have been paid by the requester in accordance with the provisions of this title.
(e) 
Bonds will not be released until record drawings have been received by the City Engineer.
