A. All streets, highways and parcels of land shown on a final map and intended for any public use shall be offered for dedication for public use.

B. Streets or portions of streets may be offered for future dedication where the immediate opening and improvement is not required, but where it is necessary to ensure that the city can later accept dedication when said streets are needed for the further development of the area or adjacent areas.

C. The applicant shall improve, or agree to improve, all land dedicated for streets, highways, public ways and easements as a condition precedent to acceptance and approval of the final map. Such improvements shall include such grading, surfacing, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, culverts, bridges, storm drains, water mains and service connections to the property line with cutoff valves, sanitary sewers, and such other structures or improvements as may be required by this title or deemed by the city council to be necessary for the general use of the lot owners in the subdivision and local neighborhood traffic and drainage needs.

D. All improvements shall be installed to grades approved by the city engineer.

E. Plans, profiles and specifications of proposed improvements shall be furnished to the city engineer prior to the time of submitting the final map and be approved by the city engineer before the final map is filed with the city council. Such plans and profiles shall show full details of the proposed improvements which shall be according to the standards of the city.

F. If such improvement work is not completed satisfactorily before the final map is approved, the owner or owners of the subdivision shall, immediately upon approval and before the certification of the final map by the city, enter as contractor into an agreement with the city whereby, in consideration of the acceptance by the city of the street and easements offered for dedication, the contractor agrees to complete the work within the time specified in the agreement.

G. To assure the city that this work will be completed and lienholders paid, a bond shall be furnished by the applicant guaranteeing faithful performance, and guaranteeing payment for labor and materials. The amount of such bond shall be determined by the city engineer and approved by the city council as to amount and adequacy of the bond, except in cases where a cash deposit is made.
