the work, such materials, appliances,plants and other property belonging to Subdivider as may be

agrees to pay all costs and expenses incurred by City in securing performance of such obligations,
including but not limited to fees and charges of architects, engineers,attorneys, other professionals,

a breach, shall not be construed as a waiver of that default or breach or any subsequent default or
breach of Subdivider.
12. Warranty. Subdivider shall guarantee or warranty the work done pursuant to this
agreement for a period of one (1) year after final formal acceptance of this subdivision by the City
Council against any defective work or labor done or defective materials furnished. If within the
