Womack, Department Director: Development Engineer Contact Number: 407-554-7081 City Manager: Subject: Approval of a Two-Year Warranty Surety and Maintenance, Materials, nd Workmanship Agreement with Letter of Credit with BCI IV Park 429 Logistics Center LLC,for The Park at 429 Lot 3 Commission District#3— Richard Firstner BACKGROUND: The Park at 429, Lot 3, is a part of the overall Park at 429 Industrial Park located at 639 East Crown Point Road. The overall parcel is 45.54 acres in size, while Lot 3 makes up 25.1 acres of the overall development. Lot 3 consists of two light industrial use buildings that are 195,144 SF, and 245,973 SF, respectively. In May of 2018, the original developer, BPG Ocoee 1 LLC completed construction of the infrastructure improvements and entered into a two year Maintenance, Materials, and Workmanship Agreement (MM&W Agreement) with the City and provided a Letter of Credit insuring the public improvements. The property has since changed ownership from BPG Ocoee 1 LLC to BCI IV Park 429 Logistics Center LLC. The current ownership wishes to replace the existing MM&W Agreement and Letter of Credit with a MM&W Agreement and Letter of Credit between themselves and the City. BCI IV Park 429 Logistics Center LLC has provided the City with a Letter of Credit in the amount of 10% of the constructed improvements ($74,722.50). The attached Maintenance, Materials, and Workmanship Agreement with Letter of Credit (Irrevocable Stand-By Letter of Credit issued by Wells Fargo Bank) acts as the executable document between the developer and the City. The Letter of Credit will be kept on file with the signed Maintenance, Materials, and Workmanship Agreement; this will ensure that funds will be available should they be needed during the two-year warranty period. The existing MM&W Agreement with BPG Ocoee 1 LLC will be voided and the original Letter of Credit will be returned to BPG Ocoee 1 LLC. The new Surety will be returned to BCI IV Park 429 Logistics Center LLC upon completion of the two-year warranty period and the repair of any damages caused over that two-year period. ISSUE: Should the City accept the Surety as provided by BCI IV Park 429 Logistics Center LLC, for the two-year warranty for The Park at 429, Lot 3 and execute the Maintenance, Materials, and Workmanship Agreement with Letter of Credit? RECOMMENDATION: The Development Services Department recommends the acceptance of the Surety and the execution of the Maintenance, Materials, and Workmanship Agreement with Letter of Credit with BCI IV Park 429 Logistics Center LLC for The Park at 429, Lot 3. ATTACHMENTS: Maintenance, Materials, and Workmanship Escrow Agreement. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There are no financial impacts to the City in accepting this two-year warranty Surety.
