project shall be the primary point of contact for all notices and dispute resolution
procedures. However, when a DISTRICT representative deems necessary, the DISTRICT
representative may notify the Director of Development Services that further
communications should be directed to either the DISTRICT representative or another
architect or engineer. However, nothing herein waives the legal requirements that a
licensed architect or engineer shall certify plans for a project.
5.14 Required Security of the Unified Development Code ("UDC"). During the term of this
AGREEMENT, CITY will not require DISTRICT to post a performance bond, letter of
credit, trust AGREEMENT, cash, or other form of security in favor of CITY normally
required under the UDC and related provisions; provided that in lieu of posting such
security, DISTRICT provides CITY with a formal Resolution passed and approved by its
Board of Trustees assuring construction, within three years, of all items that would
normally be the subject of the security. The resolution shall be delivered to CITY prior to
the recordation of the plat. The assurances provided under the resolution shall survive any
termination of this AGREEMENT and failure of DISTRICT to comply with the assurances
to complete the construction as resolved by the DISTRICT'S Board of Trustees, shall be
considered a breach of this AGREEMENT. Upon breach, CITY may pursue any and all
Page 14 of 20

transferred with respect to such project from the developer to the DISTRICT.

Extra Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) shall be subject to the rules, regulations, and provisions
of the Unified Development Code.

under one or more permits issued by a County, the DISTRICT may proceed pursuant to

inspections on the basis of such approved plans. The CITY and the DISTRICT'S design
and construction team shall meet so that the DISTRICT can advise the CITY regarding: (i)
an overview of the project, (ii) the permits already issued by the County, and (iii) the
current status of construction. The CITY and the DISTRICT shall negotiate plan reviews,
inspections and any applicable fees. The DISTRICT shall provide copies of any and all
County -approved construction documents for CITY retention per the CITY's building
codes and applicable law.
c. DISTRICT agrees to petition for annexation when DISTRICT's property is contiguous
to the City limits.
5.17 New Contractor. If a DISTRICT changes contractors during a construction project for any
reason, including the default of the original contractor and the replacement of the same
with another contractor hired by the surety, any delay resulting from such change shall not
have the effect of changing the rules, regulations, and Unified Development Code
provisions which govern such construction, provided that the delay resulting from the
removal of an existing contractor and the hiring of a replacement does not exceed eighteen
(18) months. If such delay exceeds eighteen (18) months, then requests for permit
extensions shall be favorably considered to preserve the applicability of the regulations in
effect when the project was commenced, subject to the payment of any applicable permit
extension fees.

the application of Section 419.5 of the International Plumbing Code as adopted by the City
of Corpus Christi, which specifically states "Tempered Water for Public Hand Washing

located in public toilet facilities provided for customers, patrons, and visitors. Tempered
