Based on the opinion of probable mitigation costs I received for installation,
maintenance, and monitoring for the mitigation project, the total amount of your
installation surety device is $47,981.25 and the maintenance and monitoring surety
device is $30,000.00. The specific breakdown is as follows:
Installation $38,385.00
TOTAL @125% $47,981.25
Maintenance & Monitoring $24,000.00
TOTAL @125% $30,000.00
These amounts are deemed sufficient to guarantee that structures, improvements, and
mitigation required by permit condition will be installed according to plan and perform
satisfactorily for a minimum of five (5) years after they have been completed. Please
come to the 61h Floor of Renton City Hall to pay the surety device.
The following security devices are acceptable for the purposes of installation of required
critical areas mitigation performance and critical areas monitoring/maintenance:

that improvements are not completed as required or maintenance is not performed
satisfactorily, the City will notify the applicant/developer, property owner and guarantor
in writing. The notice will state the specific defects that must be remedied and the date

In the event the applicant/developer fails to complete all improvement work required in
compliance with approved mitigation plan, dated July 18, 2016, the City reserves the
right to proceed against the security for funds necessary to complete the improvements.

The installation surety will be released upon written approval of the City once
installation of all improvements is completed per the approved mitigation plan or
