Page 21 of 66
Bonds before that date, the City shall have the authority to revoke the District's authority
to issue its remaining but unissued Bonds under this Agreement.
6.06 Economic Feasibility. Before any submission of an application for
approval of issuance of Bonds to the TCEQ or to the Attorney General, whichever
occurs first, the District's financial advisor shall certify in writing to the City Secretary,

authority to do so on behalf of the District.
6.10 Bond Objections. The City shall have a period of thirty (30) days after
receiving the last of the certifications and notices required by this Article VI within
which to object to the Bonds. The only basis for an objection by the City to a proposed
Bond issue shall be that the District or Developer is in default of a material provision of
this Agreement, the Parkland Improvements Agreement, or the PUD Ordinance. If the
City objects to a proposed Bond issue ("Cb Objection"), such an objection (a) shall be
in writing, (b) shall be given to the District; (c) shall be signed by the City Manager or

Agreement, the Parkland Improvements Agreement, the PUD Ordinance, or Section
13.10 of the UDC for which the District or Developer is in material default. It shall not
be a basis for a City Objection that the City disagrees with District's financial advisor as
to the financial feasibility of the Bonds so long as the proposed Bonds are approved by
the TCEQ and the Attorney General. In the event a City Objection is timely given to the
District with respect to a specific Bond application, the City and the District shall
cooperate to resolve the City Objection within a reasonable time, and the sale of the
Bonds to which the City Objection applies shall be delayed until the City Objection has
been cured or waived. Unless otherwise cured by written agreement of the Parties, a
City Objection shall be deemed cured if (x) the District files a petition seeking
declaratory judgment in state district court, and (y) not less than thirty (30) days before
filing the petition the District gives the City Attorney and the City Manager Notice of,
and waives any objections to, the City's right to intervene in, such a declaratory
judgment action, and (z) the district court determines that the District or Developer is
not in default with respect to any material provision of this Agreement, the PUD
Ordinance, or Section 13.10 of the UDC, or alternatively, finds that if such a material
default had previously occurred, the material default has been cured. A City Objection
may be expressly waived by the City in writing at any time.
6.11 Official Statements. Within thirty (30) days after the District closes the sale
of each series of Bonds, the District shall deliver to the City Secretary, City Manager,
and Finance Director a copy of the final official statement for such series of the Bonds,

above. Except as otherwise approved by the City Council, the District agrees not to

Developer after the expiration of that period, which costs and expenses would
otherwise be eligible to be reimbursed to Developer by District pursuant to the rules
and regulation of the TCEQ or other applicable law, and Developer and the District
expressly and irrevocably waive any claims against the City for repayment of such
indebtedness. The District agrees that all reimbursement agreements that it enters into

be constructed on the Land will be assessed by the City based on the Impact Fees in effect
at the time of final approval by the City of the final subdivision plat for the portion of the

(a) Upon completion of the Off -Site Public Improvements, On -Site
Wastewater Improvements, and On -Site Water Improvements, and payment of the

utility system or water service system, as applicable, in an amount equal to the number
of water service Connections for which Water Impact Fees have been paid or the amount
equal to the number of wastewater service Connections for which Wastewater Impact
Fees have been paid, as applicable, up to the Connection Limit, provided, however, that:
(1) Service is available only upon payment of impact fees and the City's
approval of the final plat or plats of the Land and the recording of
same in the final plat records of Williamson County in accordance
with the requirements of the UDC;
(2) This Agreement in no way obligates the City to approve service
extension requests not conforming to the requirements of the City's
ordinances nor otherwise binds the governmental powers of the City
with respect to the approval or denial of the same; provided,
however that so long as the terms of this Agreement are satisfied, the
(W0794214.11 ) Consent Agreement - Berry Creek Highlands Municipal Utility District
Page 46 of 66
City agrees to not unreasonably withhold, condition, or delay its
approval of any service extension request;
(3) This Agreement does not exempt Developer from the requirements
of any provisions of the Governing Regulations applicable to
development within the Land covered by the service extension
requests;
(4) This Agreement does not guarantee approval of the final plat or plats
of the Land or the approval of any other applications or permits
related to the Land;
(5) This Agreement will not be construed to create or confer upon
Developer any manner of legal title to, equitable interest in or other
claim of joint ownership with respect to property, whether real,
personal or mixed comprising a City Improvement, after final
acceptance by the City of a City Improvement; and
(6) The City can use the capacity in the City Improvements as long as it
does not damage or decrease the Developer's capacity interest.
(b) Except as provided in Section 16.02(a) above, nothing in this Agreement shall
be construed as reserving capacity for the Developer or District in the City
Improvements, any existing City wastewater collection and treatment
facilities, any existing City water distribution or treatment facilities, or any
future City water or wastewater facilities constructed by third parties prior
to the payment of the applicable Impact Fees.
(c) Any conveyance or transfer of City Improvements to the City by Developer
under this Agreement shall not affect Developer's right to seek
reimbursement from the District for the cost of the City Improvements and
Developer Improvements constructed or financed by Developer, or the
District's right to effect such reimbursement. Developer's capacity interest
and contract rights may be conveyed to the District as consideration for the
receipt of proceeds from bonds issued by the District to reimburse costs and
expenses funded by Developer under this Agreement.
16.03 Other Development and Utility Fees. Developer shall pay or cause to be
paid the City's usual and customary utility connection fees (e.g., water and wastewater

TERM, ASSIGNMENT AND REMEDIES
18.01 Term. This Agreement shall be effective from the Effective Date and
shall continue in effect until the District is dissolved, and its obligations are fully
assumed by the City or a property owners association, at the City's sole election, or until
terminated in writing by mutual agreement of the City and the District. This

18.02 Assignment and Delegation. No Party may assign any of its rights

18.03 Default and Rights and Remedies for Default.
(a) Default Notification of Default. Any material breach of this
Agreement or the Parkland Improvements Agreement by the City or the Developer or
the District shall be deemed a default by the same party under this Agreement. If City,

No Bonds shall be issued by District to reimburse Developer or for any other purpose
relating to the Land (excluding the issuance of refunding bonds), and the City shall
have all rights to enjoin the issuance of Bonds for such purposes, during the applicable
Cure Period for a Developer or District default of this Agreement (including default of
the Parkland Improvements Agreement). In addition, during the applicable Cure
Period, the City shall be relieved of all of its obligations to Developer and District under
this Agreement, the Parkland Improvements Agreement, and the Governing
Regulations, including, without limitation, obligations to process or approve
development- and utility -related applications, permits or other authorizations, plats,
plans, acceptance of public infrastructure for maintenance and operation, utility
connections, utility taps, and any other development or utility -related actions
pertaining to the Land. During the Cure Period, the actions authorized by this Section
are the City's exclusive remedies.
18.05 Rights and Remedies for Default After Expiration of Cure Period.
(a) The City's rights and remedies during the Cure Period described in
Section 18.04 of this Agreement shall also extend during any period of default continuing
after expiration of the Cure Period. In addition, if the defaulting entity does not cure the
default of this Agreement (including default of the Parkland Improvements Agreement)
within the applicable Cure Period, and if a non -defaulting entity has not waived the
default in writing, then after the expiration of the applicable Cure Period, the non -
defaulting entity may, in its sole discretion, and without prejudice to any other right or
remedy allowed under this Agreement or the Parkland Improvements Agreement,
and/or seek any other relief available at law or in equity, by statute or otherwise, against
the defaulting party, all of which are cumulative and are in addition to any other right or
remedy given under this Agreement or the Parkland Improvements Agreement which
may now or subsequently exist in law or in equity by statute or otherwise, and the
exercise of any one remedy does not preclude the exercise of another.
(b) Damages, if any, to which any non -defaulting entity may be entitled
shall be limited to actual damages and shall not include special, incidental, or
consequential damages.
(c) To the extent that any course of dealing, act, omission, failure, or
delay in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement or the Parkland
Improvements Agreement constitutes the election of an inconsistent right or remedy, that
election does not constitute a waiver of any right or remedy, or limit or prevent the
subsequent enforcement of any provision of this Agreement or the Parkland
Improvements Agreement. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy under this
(W0794214.11 ) Consent Agreement - Berry Creek Highlands Municipal Utility District
Page 49 of 66
Agreement or the Parkland Improvements Agreement precludes the simultaneous or
subsequent exercise of any other right or remedy.

I. INTRODUCTION
This report presents the preliminary engineering study to determine the engineering and
economic feasibility for creation of a Williamson County Municipal Utility District (MUD)
36 on the 314 -acre Johnson/Schneider tracts.
The scope of this report provides evidence that the projects which will be undertaken by
the proposed District are practicable, feasible, necessary, and beneficial to all the land
to be included in the District. The projects, which include a water distribution system,
wastewater collection system, storm drainage system, recreational facilities, and road
improvements, are required to ensure orderly development of the land and for the
protection of public health and safety. This information provides justification for the
creation of the District.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Location and Access
The development is currently planned to be comprised +/-314.54 acres of the
Johnson/Schneider Tracts in Williamson County, Texas. The tract is located west of
Highway 195 and north of Shell Road in the Extra Territorial Jurisdiction of Georgetown,
Texas. See the Vicinity Map in Appendix E.
Existing Area Conditions and Topography
The tract topography consists of elevations from 820' near the north central end of the
property to 740' at the southwest corner of the property. Slopes range from less than
1 % to 4%. The steepest slopes are located along the banks of Berry Creek. The site
drains in two directions, with one basin draining to a natural low point on the southeast
corner of the property, and one draining to a low point on the southwest corner, where it
outflows into Berry Creek.
Preliminary Drainage Study
As previously stated, the 314 -acre tract has two main drainage basins that drain to the
southeast and southwest corners, terminating into Berry Creek. The drainage basins
provide excellent conveyance of storm water flows directly into the creek.
Each of the drainage ways will be preserved intact to accept storm water runoff from the
project which will be designed to the City of Georgetown Standards and include curb
and guttered streets, curb inlets, storm sewer pipes and headwalls discharging into
proposed ponds. Precautions will be taken to ensure that the development flows will not
create erosion problems in the natural waterways with onsite water quality/detention
ponds being incorporated into the overall project.
The waterways and water quality ponds will be incorporated into recreational parkways
to provide additional benefits to the project.

Preliminary Traffic Study
A TIA has not been previously prepared for the 314 -acre tract. During the project
planning meetings with the City, whether a TIA will need to be prepared will be
discussed. If required by the City, it will be prepared and provided with the MUD
Application.
Land Use Plan
Appendix H shows the Land Use Map. The proposed development consists of a
combination of single family residential, village cluster residential, multi -family
residential, commercial, amenity center, a school, open space areas, and major
roadways.
The projected land use for the proposed development will include approximately 1,620
LUEs as shown in Table No. 1 below.

III. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
Water Supply and Distribution System
There is an existing 18" waterline located in the Highway 195 right-of-way. Water
service is expected to be provided to the 314 -acre tract by the City of Georgetown via
connection with this line. Water service will be provided to all lots, as shown in the
Preliminary Water Plan in Appendix I.
314 -Acre Johnson/Schneider Tracts MUD Engineering Report
53
Wastewater Collection and Treatment Svstem
Wastewater would need to be extended to the site to service the development. A
temporary service plan has been developed to temporarily service the site while the City
constructs a permanent solution. The permanent solution is planned to be a gravity flow
main called the Berry Creek Interceptor, which would allow wastewater flow from the site
to be conveyed to the Pecan Branch WWTP, allowing wastewater treatment and
disposal to be provided by the City of Georgetown.
Even with the temporary wastewater service plan in place, the City will require the
developer to build the Offsite Wastewater Interceptor as shown on the exhibit in
Appendix A.
Wastewater collection will be provided to all the lots as shown in the Preliminary
Wastewater Plan in Appendix J.
Storm Sewer and Drainage System
Storm water runoff within the District will be collected in curb and gutter streets into
flumes or inlets which will use the underground network to convey the runoff. Storm
water from the proposed system typically will flow through a water quality pond before
discharging into Berry Creek. Storm water collection will be provided to all the lots as
shown in the Preliminary Drainage Plan in Appendix K.
Recreational _Improvements
Proposed recreational improvements include the development of both large, public
parks and smaller, pocket parks. Appendix B includes the Parkland Dedication Site
Map.
Road Improvements
The 314 -acre tract borders Highway 195 on the northeast side of the project, and
Bonnet Lane on the north side of the project. This will provide southbound access to
Highway 195 and both westbound and eastbound access to Bonnet Lane.
Bonnet Lane is planned to become the proposed Shell Spur Loop as shown on the City
of Georgetown's Proposed 2035 Thoroughfare Plan. Construction of Shell Spur will
require the developer to dedicate half of the proposed 73' right-of-way (ROW) along the
north property boundary of the property. The proposed alignment of Shell Spur is shown
on the Land Use Map and Roadway Network Layout in Appendix H.
Construction of deceleration lanes and improvements to the existing Highway 195 and
Bonnet Lane intersection would need to be provided by the development. We have
assumed three right deceleration lanes and intersection signal and striping
improvements in the Opinion of Cost.
Construction of new roadways with utilities and grading will be required for each phase
of the development. Phasing sequence may require that multiple phases be constructed
314 -Acre Johnson/Schneider Tracts MUD Engineering Report
54
at once to accommodate utility servicing, drainage, and roadway circulation
requirements.
IV. FIRE PROTECTION AND LAW ENFORCEMENT
FIRE PROTECTION
The City will provide fire protection and other emergency services.
LAW ENFORCEMENT
The City will also be responsible for law enforcement within the District.
V. BUILD OUT AND POPULATION PROJECTIONS
There are currently no residents in the proposed District at present. Projections of future
population are shown in Table No. 2. At build out it is projected that there will be 968
single family residences. Based on 3.0 persons per residence, the estimated population
at build out will be 3,405. The build out schedule is shown in Table No. 2 below. Build
out is expected to take approximately 10 years.

The Opinion of Probably Construction Costs was used to estimate the projected
construction costs within Tables No. 3, 4 & 5 above. Developer interest is based on the
developer advancing construction funds approximately 24 months before each bond
sale throughout the life of the project.
The costs summarized in the tables represents the total amount of construction costs
necessary to complete the land development on and off site, plus costs associated with
the sale of bonds. The total bond issue requirement for water, wastewater, and
drainage, recreational, and roads is $57,720,000. However, because of limitations on
the District's projected assessed valuation and tax rate, the District is expected to only
be able to issue approximately $30,150,000. See separate Finance Plan from the
District's financial advisor, Public Finance Group, L.L.C.

Proiect Tax Rate
The total bond issue requirement for on-site water, wastewater, and storm water
management ($46,640,000), recreational ($2,360,000) and roads ($8,720,000) as show
in Tables No. 3, 4 & 5.
Revenue to retire the bonds will be generated by valorem taxes. The projected
assessed value of all property within the District at full development is $348,754,000 as
shown in Table No. 6. Public Finance Group, LLC has developed a financial plan which
includes the issuance of seven series of bonds to finance these costs assuming a 100%
reimbursement scenario. The term for the proposed bonds will not exceed 25 years.

Assuming projected home values and build -out schedule, and the ability of the District to
issue the full bond issue requirement of $57,720,000 spread over the several series of
bonds, a debt service tax rate of up to $0.5204 per $100 of assessed value is sufficient
to retire the bonds. The tax rate calculations assume the bonds will be sold at an
interest rate of 4.25% with a tax collection rate that varies between 99% and 100%.
The proposed District will levy an operation and maintenance tax for its ultimate
operation expenses. Since the City will provide water and wastewater service for the
District, the operation and maintenance tax is estimated to be $0.0296, resulting in a
total District tax rate of $0.55 per $100 of assessed value.

A. Low Water Crossing:
a. Use an appropriate length slab or structure to protect the "wetted perimeter" of the
natural flow channel.
b. Protect the structure with cutoff walls, riprap, gabions, concrete slabs, or other scour
protection. The downstream edge may require energy dissipaters or riprap protection
because of the accelerated flows across the structure.
c. Place foundations into scour resistant material or below the depth of scour. Prevent
foundation or channel scour with the use of locally placed heavy riprap, gabion baskets,
concrete reinforcement or native vegetation.

C. Bridge Crossing:
a. The construction of bridges should be a last resort after other trail alignment or
waterway crossing options have been considered. Where a bridge may be required, all
options shall be explored, including but not limited to: open bottom culvert,
prefabricated or custom designs and may be constructed of a variety of materials.
b. Possible locations will be determined based on environmental, accessibility and
economic factors.
c. Bridge landings and ramp grades will follow FSORAG. If trail is not feasible under
FSORAG guidelines, Developer will consult with City concerning alternate design
options.

III. RESPONSIBILITIES OF DEVELOPER
A. Developer shall, at no cost to the City, construct or cause to be constructed in the Parkland all of
those parkland improvements generally identified on the attached Exhibit A (collectively, the "Parkland
Improvements," and each a "Parkland Improvement"). Developer shall Commence Construction, or
(W0794215.8) Berry Creek Highland Parkland Improvement Agreement
Page 1
cause Commencement of Construction to occur, of the Parkland Improvements on or before the deadlines
for same set forth in Section of the Consent Agreement. The Parkland Improvements may

B. At least ninety (90) calendar days prior to the Commencement of Construction deadline set forth
in Section of the Consent Agreement, Developer shall submit to the City through the
City's Planning Department a detailed description of each of the Parkland Improvements for review by the
PARD (the "Parkland Improvements Description"). The Parkland Improvements Description shall
include, for each Parkland Improvement, the following information: a detailed description, purpose, size,
location, construction/installation schedule, plans, specifications, construction documents, construction
access, and the estimated cost of constructing each Parkland Improvement as determined by a professional
engineer. The Parkland Improvements Description shall also include a site plan that provides grading,
landscaping, and irrigation information, at a minimum. The Developer shall cooperate with reasonable
requests of the PARD for additional information. The Developer shall use only the City -approved Parkland
Improvements Description, site plan, construction plans, and specifications for the Parkland Improvements
(collectively, the "Plans") for construction of the Parkland Improvements.
C. All work must be performed in compliance with the codes and standards of the City, including but
not limited to the City's Code of Ordinances, Unified Development Code, Construction Specifications and
Standards, Drainage Criteria Manual, Building Codes, Fire Codes, Inspection Guidelines, and Development
Manual to the extent that same are applicable to the construction of the Parkland Improvements
(collectively, the "Standards") and with the Plans. All work performed under this Agreement by Developer
and its contractors (the "Contractors") must also be free from design and construction defects at the time
of completion. In addition, Developer shall follow all City ordinances and other rules and regulations
regarding permits and approvals related to activities and construction of the Parkland Improvements, as
well as those of any other governmental entity having jurisdiction.
D. Construction shall not commence on a Parkland Improvement until PARD has issued a written
"Notice to Proceed" for Parkland Improvement(s) for which the City, in its regulatory capacity, has
approved Plans. A Notice to Proceed shall be issued within three calendar days after PARD has approved
the Plans. If requested by the PARD, the Developer shall attend a pre -construction meeting.
E. Subject to force majeure events and delays caused by governmental authorities, Developer shall
diligently prosecute completion of the Parkland Improvements and coordinate all construction activity with
designated PARD staff following issuance of the Notice to Proceed.
F. Upon completion of each Parkland Improvement, Developer shall request inspection by e-mail
and/or phone, plus deliver to the PARD written notice that construction of such Parkland Improvement has
been completed and is ready for a final inspection; the Developer may combine requests for inspections of
Parkland Improvements. The Developer shall promptly respond to the City's inspection(s) results,
including correcting any deficiencies identified by the PARD and/or City engineer. The Developer shall
seek to correct any deficiencies within ten (10) calendar days and inform the PARD in writing that the
correction will require longer period to correct, if it requires reordering parts to a specific Parkland
Improvement. This process will repeat until the City finds the Parkland Improvements are in conformance
with the approved Plans.
G. Following the inspection process outlined above and prior to the City's acceptance of the Parkland
Improvements and the Plans, the Developer must submit in writing to the City that the Maintenance Security
required by Article VII of this Agreement is in place and submit a set of construction plans for the Plans
(W0794215.8) Berry Creek Highland Parkland Improvement Agreement
Page 2
certified as "as -built" by the engineer responsible for preparing the Plans (collectively, the "Completion
Notice"). The Completion Notice shall be submitted to the City not more than thirty (30) days following
the City's communication to the Developer that the Parkland Improvements are in conformance with the
approved Plans. The Developer shall promptly revise or add to the Completion Notice based upon the
review of the PARD and/or City engineer.
H. Not later than the date that is thirty (30) days after the last to occur of the following events: (i) the
City's acceptance of the last of the Parkland Improvements required to be constructed in the Parkland under
this Agreement and the Consent Agreement, (ii) the City's acceptance of the Trailhead Parking Lot (as that
term is defined in the Consent Agreement), or (iii) the City's acceptance of the Completion Notice (defined
below) by the PARD, the Developer shall dedicate (if by plat) or transfer (if by separate instrument) the
Parkland (and the associated Trailhead Parking Lot) to the City, subject to Developer's maintenance
obligations as provided in Section Vii of this Agreement and to the City's approval of the title commitment
and form of deed (if transferred to the City via separate instrument), after which the City will assume
ownership of the completed Parkland (and the associated Trailhead Parking Lot), subject to Developer's
maintenance obligations as provided in Section VII of this Agreement and to the City's approval of the title
commitment and form of deed (if transferred to the City via separate instrument).
I. Developer and its Contractors and other agents shall perform the obligations under this Agreement
as independent contractors.
IV. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CITY
A. City and PARD staff shall use good faith efforts to assist Developer in securing all permits and
performing inspections necessary to construct the Parkland Improvements. Developer and its Contractors
shall coordinate with City staff to provide any information in the possession or control of Developer or its
Contractors that is necessary or will facilitate applications for permits and approvals.
B. Following submittal of the Plans by the Developer to the City through the Planning Department,
the City shall acknowledge receipt of the Plans and provide the Developer with the results of its
Completeness Check within ten (10) calendar days. Within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of the Plans,
City shall respond to Developer by either approving the Plans or conditionally approving the Plans subject
to additional requirements or alterations mutually acceptable to Developer and PARD. Failure of the PARD
to respond to the submittal of the Plans within the 30 -day period shall not be deemed to be acceptance of
same by the PARD or the City. The City's review of the Plans shall repeat until it approves the Plans. The
PARD may request a pre -construction meeting to which the Developer shall attend.
C. The City shall have the right to inspect each Parkland Improvement during and at the completion
of construction; provided, however, that the City shall provide twenty-four hours advance notice to
Developer before coming on site during active construction to allow Developer to take appropriate. site
safety precautions. It will be the City's intent to provide next business day inspections following the
Developer's request for inspections as defined in Section III of this Agreement; however, no advance notice
will be required prior to an inspection that is in response to the Developer's request for an inspection or to
address an emergency.
D. The City will notify the Developer if an inspection reveals that any portion of a Parkland
Improvement is not constructed in substantial accordance with the Plans or the Standards. However, the
City is not responsible for the construction of the Parkland Improvements, the quality of the material, or
the construction methods utilized. In addition, the City is not responsible for making continuous on-site
inspections of the construction work and the City has no privity with or responsibility for Developer's
(W0794215.8) Berry Creek Highland Parkland Improvement Agreement
Page 3
Contractors or any subcontractors during construction; provided, however, that privity may subsequently
exist after construction with the assignments of warranties to the City.
E. Within fourteen (14) calendar days of receipt of the Completion Notice, the City shall respond to
the Developer by either submitting a list of items still requiring completion or modification, requesting
additional information, or by accepting the Completion Notice. Final approval of the Plans, including all
Parkland Improvements, shall be evidenced by a letter of approval from PARD, but shall not be valid unless
and until the Maintenance Security required by Article VII of this Agreement is in place. Failure to respond
to a Completion Notice within the 14 -day period shall be not deemed approval by the PARD or the City.
V. MUTUAL RESPONSIBILITIES
The Parties agree to cooperate in efforts which may benefit or otherwise impact any Parkland
Improvement(s) falling within the terms of this Agreement.
VI. CONSTRUCTION COSTS AND SECURITY
A. Developer shall be solely responsible for all costs of design and construction of the Parkland
Improvements. Any increases in the actual costs of the design and construction of the Parkland
Improvements, including cost increases, change orders and overruns shall be borne by Developer. Costs
include, but are not limited to, landscaping costs, labor costs, site restoration and re -vegetation costs,
materials costs, engineering costs, utility connection fees, permits, and inspection fees, if imposed by the
City, incurred in the design and construction of the Parkland Improvements.
B. To secure the Developer's obligations to design and construct the Parkland Improvements,
Developer shall provide a financial guarantee of performance in the amount of One Hundred Twenty Five
Percent (125%) of the total estimated cost of constructing the Parkland Improvements (the "Construction
Security"), as determined by a professional engineer and approved by the City's designated engineer. The
Construction Security may be a Letter of Credit, Trust Agreement or Performance Bond in a form approved
for use in the City's Development Manual. If at any time the City's designated engineer determines, in his
or her opinion and at his or her discretion, the cost of constructing the Parkland Improvements may exceed
the Construction Security, within thirty (30) days after notice and demand, the Developer shall provide
additional Construction Security in an amount equal to the additional estimated cost.
VII. WARRANTIES AND MAINTENANCE
A. Developer hereby warrants that each Parkland Improvement will be free from defects for a period
of one (1) year from the date the City accepts the construction of said Parkland Improvements (the
"Maintenance Period"). The Developer shall correct and repair, or cause to be corrected and repaired, any
defects in materials or workmanship of an improvement in the Parkland Improvements that occurs before
and during the Maintenance Period due to any cause; provided, however, that Developer shall not be
responsible for any damage, defect or repair caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the City.
Developer shall, at the time of dedication or transfer to the City of the Parkland, assign to the City, without
further recourse against Developer, all warranties that Developer may have received with respect to the
each Parkland Improvement. All transfers of Parkland Improvements to the City under this Agreement
shall include transfers of associated warranties, bonds, and guarantees.
B. For all Parkland Improvements, as a condition of the City's acceptance of dedication of the
Parkland, and to secure the Developer's warranty obligations during the Maintenance Period, the Developer
(W0794215.8) Berry Creek Highland Parkland Improvement Agreement
Page 4
shall provide a maintenance bond, letter of credit, cash escrow, or other form of security acceptable to the
City in the amount of Twenty Five Percent (25%) of the total cost of constructing all of Parkland
Improvements (the "Maintenance Security"). The Maintenance Security, if a bond, must be in a form
approved for use in the City's Development Manual. The Parkland Improvements must meet the Standards
and Plans at the end of the Maintenance Period in order for the City to release the Maintenance Security.
VIII. LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
A. DEVELOPER SHALL DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS CITY, ITS
OFFICERS, APPOINTED OR ELECTED OFFICIALS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ATTORNEYS,

for the duration of the Agreement (unless a longer duration is specified), which shall include items
owned by the City of Georgetown, Texas ("OWNER") in the care, custody and control of
CONTRACTOR prior to and during the term of the Contract and all warranty periods. Failure to
purchase and maintain the required insurance shall be grounds for Termination of the Agreement
or Suspension of the Work by OWNER. Except for the Worker's Compensation policy, the other
insurance policies required by the Agreement to be obtained by CONTRACTOR must state that
OWNER, its officials, directors, employees, representatives, and volunteers are added as additional
insureds with regard to operations and activities by or on behalf of the named insureds performed
under contract with OWNER. The additional insured status must cover completed operations as
well, and the policy covering completed work must remain in effect until the expiration of the statue
of repose.
CONTRACTOR must complete and forward the required Certificates of Insurance to OWNER
before the Agreement is executed as verification of coverage required below. CONTRACTOR
shall not commence Work until the required insurance is obtained and until such insurance has been
reviewed by OWNER. Approval of insurance by OWNER shall not relieve or decrease the liability
of CONTRACTOR hereunder and shall not be construed to be a limitation of liability on the part
of CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR must also complete and forward the required Certificates of
Insurance to OWNER whenever a previously identified policy period has expired as verification of
continuing coverage.
Contractor's insurance coverage is to be written by companies licensed to do business in the State
of Texas at the time the policies are issued and shall be written by companies with A.M. Best ratings
of B+VII or better, except for hazardous material insurance which shall be written by companies

endorsements as well as the Certificate of Insurance shall indicate: City of Georgetown, 113 E. 8t'
Street, Georgetown, Texas 78626, ATTN: Contract Manager.
5. The "other" insurance clause shall not apply to the OWNER where the OWNER is an additional
insured shown on any policy. It is agreed that the CONTRACTOR's insurance shall be considered
primary with respect to any insurance or self insurance carried by OWNER. The
CONTRACTOR'S insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom a claim is made
and/or lawsuits brought, except with respect to the limits of insurer's liability.
6. If insurance policies are not written for amounts specified below, CONTRACTOR shall carry
