Body
BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
Raul Castro and Claudia Castro, and Roberto Castro and Juana Castro, posted a public improvement security with the City for the construction of a new water line that is 8” in diameter and 400’ in length. The water line provides water service to three newly constructed single-family homes located on the three separate parcels at the northeast corner of Winton Street and Boyd Avenue. Additionally, the parcels are located in the unincorporated area of Riverside County but receive water service from the City of Corona. The City Council at its meeting on June 17, 2020, entered into a public improvement agreement with the property owners to guarantee the construction of the public water facilities.
The single-family homes and the water line serving these homes have been constructed and inspected by City staff.
ANALYSIS:
The public improvement secured by this agreement has been completed and inspected by City staff to ensure conformity with City specifications. Therefore, the security can be released to the owners with the following restrictions:
• Twenty-five percent (25%) of the faithful performance security for the public improvements will be retained by the City for a period of one-year. This is to guarantee repair or replacement of the improvements, if any, within the one-year period. Any written claims against the performance security shall be made prior to the one-year guarantee period, which is set to expire on October 20, 2022. City staff will release the faithful performance security one year after acceptance of the improvements by the City Council, pursuant to California Government Code Section 66499.9 (c).
• Retain the labor and material security for a period of six months, in accordance with the State Subdivision Map Act.
The table below shows the security posted with the City by the owner.
