(5) Any developer that is a state agency or unit of local government (“municipality”) shall have the option of: (A) complying with any DEA provision that requires a maintenance bond, or (B) agreeing to correct any defects in labor and/or materials associated with work for a period of two years from the date of execution of the DEA. The District in its sole discretion may identify “any defects” that require correction. The District is responsible for re-inspection of the work prior to the two-year anniversary date of execution. If the District identifies no defects, no further correction work will be required of the municipality. [Res. 2704 § 1, 2019].
