(B)    The performance of such Public Works Agreement by the
developer shall be guaranteed by a performance bond executed in
such amount and by such sureties as shall be approved by the De-
partment of Public Works. In lieu of a performance bond, the devel-
oper, at developer's option, may provide a certified check, cash, certifi-
ficate of deposit or an irrevocable letter of credit from a local bank
or other accredited institution in such amount as shall be approved
by the Department of Public Works. In no event, however, shall
