REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES:
ACCOUNT NUMBER:
(To be completed by Newtown Township)
The Township Engineer, Solicitor and other professionals review applications in connection with erosion control and
subdivision and land development. The professional fees are chargeable to the applicant/developer under the
Municipalities Planning Code (MPC) Section 503 including but not limited to, plan reviews, meetings, applications
requirements, draft agreements and consultations and for subsequent inspections of site or subdivision
improvements made by the applicant/developer. Bills for professional fees will be charged at the prevailing rate
against any escrow deposits with the Township. A one time $100.00 administrative charge will be added to all
invoices processed under this agreement.
Before any application can be considered and before any contact with our professionals, the applicant/developer
must sign this notice acknowledging that the applicant/developer is aware of the costs to be paid by him/her and by
making an escrow deposit as indicated below:
A. Professional Costs related to Land Development: Professional Escrow Deposits will be in conformance with
funds as required under Section 145: Fees of the Newtown Township General code. These deposits may be
adjusted based on the scale and complexity of projects as recommended by the applicable township
consultants.
B. In the event the deposit is insufficient to cover the review costs incurred, the applicant/developer, shall
immediately, upon receipt of written notice from the Township or its agents, deposits sums with the
Township necessary to replenish the account to its original balance. The Township will use its best efforts to
advise the applicant/developer of the impending likelihood that their costs have exceeded the required
escrow account sums as described above. The township may use the email address you provide on this form
to transmit the written notice. If the balance due is not received within ten (10) days of notification of the
delinquency, all professional reviews will be suspended until the required deposit is received, and the
relevant review periods under the MPC, including periods related to ‘deemed approval’ shall be
suspended/rolled until such times as the escrow is received.
C. Upon completion of the proposed development and/or upon completion of the Township’s review of the
developer/applicants plan or proposal, all unused portions of the escrow account as described above shall be
returned to the applicant upon written request to the Township Manager.
D. Final project approval by Newtown Township will be withheld until all unpaid engineering
services/inspection bills are paid.
I have read and understand this agreement and I am aware of the procedures that will be followed and the costs
that I am required to deposit with Newtown Township.
