result of all suits, actions or claims of every nature and description

improvements, and pay any and all judgments rendered against the County on
account of any such suit, action or claim, together with all reasonable
expenses and attorney fees incurred by. County in defending such suit,
action or claim whether the liability, loss or damage is caused by, or
arises out of the negligence of county or its officers, agents, employees,
or otherwise except for the liability, loss, or damage arising from the

while acting within the scope of their employment. All contractors and
other employees engaged in construction of the improvements shall maintain
adequate workman's compensation insurance and public liability insurance
coverage, and shall operate in strict accordance with the laws and
regulations of the State of Colorado governing occupational safety and

procedures by the Applicant, streets within a subdivision may be approved

homeowners association or, in its absence, the owners of lots within the
subdivision.
6.1 If desired by the County, portions of street improvements may be placed in
service when completed according to the schedule shown on Exhibit "B", but
such use and operation shall not constitute an approval of said portions.
6.2 County may, at its option, issue building permits for construction on lots
for which street improvements detailed herein have been started but not
completed as shown on Exhibit "B", and may continue to issue building
permits so long as the progress of work on the subdivision improvements in
that phase of the development is satisfactory to the County; and all terms
of this Agreement have been faithfully kept by Applicant.
6.3 Upon completion of the construction of streets within a subdivision and
the filing of a Statement of Substantial Compliance, the applicant(s) may
request in writing that the County Engineer inspect its streets and
recommend that the Board of County Commissioners partially approve them.
Not sooner than nine months after partial approval, the County Engineer

950367
notify the applicant(s) of any deficiencies. The County Engineer shall
reinspect the streets after notification from the applicant(s) that any
deficiencies have been corrected. If the County Engineer finds that the
streets are constructed according to County standards, he shall recommend
full approval. Upon a receipt of a positive unqualified recommendation
from the County Engineer for approval of streets within the development,
the Board of County Commissioners shall fully approve said streets as
public but with private pay.
7.0 General Requirements for Collateral,:
7.1 The value of all collateral submitted to Weld County must be
equivalent to 100X of the value of the improvements as shown in this
Agreement. Prior to Final Plat approval, the applicant shall
indicated which of the five types of collateral he prefers to be
utilized to secure the improvements subject to final approval by the
Board of County Commissioners and the execution of this Agreement.
Acceptable collateral shall be submitted and the plat recorded
within six (6) months of the Final Plat approval. If acceptable
collateral has not been submitted within six (6) months then the
Final Plat approval and all preliminary approvals shall
automatically expire. An applicant may request that the County
extend the Final Plat approval provided the cost estimates are
updated and the development plans are revised to comply with all
current County standards, policies and regulations. The
improvements shall be completed within one (1) year after the Final
Plat approval (not one year after acceptable collateral is
submitted) unless the applicant(s) requests that this Agreement be
renewed at least thirty (30) days prior to its expiration and
further provides that cost estimates for the remaining improvements
are updated and collateral is provided in the amount of 100% of the
value of the improvements remaining to be completed. If
improvements are not completed and the agreement not renewed within
these time frames, the County, at its discretion, may make demand on
all or a portion of the collateral and take steps to see that the
improvements are made.
7.2 The applicant may choose to provide for a phased development by
means of designating filings of a Planned Unit Development Plan or
Final Plat Subdivision. The applicant would need only to provide
collateral for the improvements in each filing as approved. The
County will place restrictions on those portions of the property
that are not covered by collateral which will prohibit the
conveyance of the property or the issuance of building permits until
collateral is provided or until improvements are in place and
approved pursuant to the requirements for a Request for Release of
Collateral.

issuer. In no case shall disbursement for a general
improvement item exceed the cost estimate in the Improvements
Agreement (i.e., streets, sewers, water mains and landscaping,
etc.). The issuer of the Letter of Credit will sign the
Improvements Agreement acknowledging the agreement and its
cost estimates.
The Letter of Credit shall specify that 15% of the total
Letter of Credit amount cannot be drawn upon and will remain
available to Weld County until released by Weld County.

release by Weld county of the final 15%, or one year from the
date of Final Plat approval, whichever occurs first. Said
letter shall stipulate that, in any event, the Letter of
Credit shall remain in full force and effect until after the
Board has received sixty (60) days written notice from the
issuer of the Letter of Credit of the pending expiration.
