17. CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION Upon satisfactory completion of the construction and upon the request of Developer, or at its own election, the City of Santa Ana shall issue a Certificate of Completion. Such Certificate of Completion shall be, and shall so state, conclusive determination of satisfactory completion of the construction. If City declines to furnish a Certificate of Completion after written request from Developer, the City Project Manager shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the request, provide Developer with a written statement of the reasons therefore. The statement shall contain a description of the action Developer must take to obtain a Certificate of Completion. If the reason therefore is that the Developer has not completed a minor portion of the construction, City may, in its sole and absolute discretion, issue the Certificate of Completion upon the posting with City of a bond or other form of security acceptable to the City Project Manager in the amount of the fair value of the uncompleted work. A Certificate of Completion is not evidence of compliance with or satisfaction of the Loan Documents or any obligation of Developer to any other party whatsoever, including any holder of a mortgage or deed of trust. A Certificate of Completion is not "notice of completion" referred to in Section 3093 of the California Civil Code. 18. INDEMNIFICATION 18.1 Nonliability of City.
