EXHIBIT A
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPER AGREEMENT
An Agreement between the City of Southlake, Texas, hereinafter referred to as the
City", and the undersigned Developer, hereinafter referred to as the "Developer", of
hereinafter referred to as the "Addition" to the City of Southlake, Tarrant County,
Texas, for the installation of certain community facilities located therein, and to provide
city services thereto. It is understood by and between the parties that this Agreement is
applicable to the lots contained within the Addition and to the off-site
improvements necessary to support the Addition.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
A. It is agreed and understood by the parties hereto that the Developer shall
employ a civil engineer licensed to practice in the State of Texas for the
design and preparation of the plans and specifications for the construction
of all facilities covered by this Agreement.
B. Since the Developer is prepared to develop the Addition as rapidly as
possible and is desirous of selling lots to builders and having residential
building activity begin as quickly as possible and the City is desirous of
having the Addition completed as rapidly as possible, the City agrees to
release 10% of the lots, 7-1, after installation of the water and sewer
mains. Framing shall not commence until water quality is approved by the
City and all appropriate Fire Code requirements are satisfied and street
signs with street names are in place. Temporary all-weather metal signs
securely fastened in the ground are acceptable until permanent street
signs are installed. The Developer recognizes that the remaining building
permits or Certificates of Occupancy for residential dwellings will not be
issued until the supporting public works infrastructure including permanent
street signs with block numbers and regulatory signs within the Addition
have been accepted by the City. This will serve as an incentive to the
Developer to see that all remaining items are completed.
C. The Developer will present to the City either a cash escrow, Letters of
Credit or performance bond and payment bond acceptable to the City
guaranteeing and agreeing to pay an amount equal to 100% of the value
of the construction cost of all of the facilities to be constructed by the
Developer, and providing for payment to the City of such amounts, up to
the total remaining amounts required for the completion of the Addition if
the Developer fails to complete the work within two (2) years of the signing
of this Agreement between the City and Developer. All bonds shall be
issued by a Best -rated bonding company. All Letters of Credit must meet
the Requirements for Irrevocable Letter of Credit attached hereto and
incorporated herein.
Page 1 of 20
The value of the performance bond, Letters of Credit or cash escrow will
reduce at a rate consistent with the amount of work that has been
completed by the Developer and accepted by the City. Each request for
reduction or payment of escrow funds must be accompanied by lien
release(s) executed by all subcontractors and/or suppliers prior to the
release of escrow funds or reduction in value of the account. Performance
and payment bond, Letters of Credit or cash escrow from the prime
contractor(s) or other entity reasonably acceptable to the City; hereinafter
referred to as Contractor, will be acceptable in lieu of Developer's
obligations specified above.
D. The Developer agrees to furnish to the City maintenance bonds, letters of
credit or cash escrow amounting to 100% of the cost of construction of
underground utilities and 100% of the construction cost for paving. These
maintenance bonds, letters of credit or cash escrow will be for a period of
two (2) years and will be issued prior to the final City acceptance of the
Addition. The maintenance bonds, letters of credit or cash escrow will be
supplied to the City by the contractors performing the work, and the City
will be named as the beneficiary if the contractors fail to perform any
required maintenance.
If the Developer chooses to construct bar ditches in lieu of curb and gutter,
and the City approved the design and grade of bar ditches, Developer
understands and agrees to provide maintenance on the bar ditches for a
period of two years from the date of acceptance of the Addition.
Maintenance includes trash and debris cleanup, mowing, and erosion
control.
E. Until the performance and payment bonds, Letters of Credit or cash
escrow required in Paragraph C have been furnished as required, no
approval of work on or in the Addition shall be given by City and no work
shall be initiated on or in said Addition by Developer, save and except as
provided above.
F. It is further agreed and understood by the parties hereto that upon
acceptance by the City, title to all facilities and improvements mentioned
hereinabove shall be vested in the City and Developer hereby relinquishes
any right, title or interest in and to said facilities or any part thereof. It is
further understood and agreed that until the City accepts such
improvements, the City shall have no liability or responsibility in
connection with any such facilities. Acceptance of the facilities shall occur
at such time that the City, through its City Manager or his duly authorized
representative, provides Developer with a written acknowledgement that
all facilities are complete, have been inspected and approved and are
being accepted by the City.

awards his own construction contract, Developer agrees to the following
procedure:

responsible for the replacement of these amenities under any
circumstances and further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the City
from any and all damages, loss or liability of any kind whatsoever by
