Page 24 <br />The amounts listed below are for liquidated damages for losses suffered by the City and are not <br />penalties. Liquidated damages shall be paid within 30 days after assessment by the City and 10 or <br />more such major incidents in a six month period may constitute grounds for termination of the <br />Contract without the ability to cure. <br />The Contractor will be charged liquidated damages for non-compliant missed pickups, area-wide <br />missed pickups/route non-completion, administrative non-compliance and/or other performance <br />failures, as listed below. Liquidated damages will only be assessed for administrative non- <br />compliance after the City has provided written warnings to the Contractor and given the Contractor <br />an opportunity to correct the violation. <br />14.1.Non-Compliant Missed Pickup <br />Whenever the City or a Customer notifies Contractor before 12:00 p.m. of locations that have not <br />received scheduled service, the Contractor shall be required to service such locations before 8:00 <br />p.m. the same day. When notified after 12:00 p.m., the Contractor shall be required to service such <br />locations no later than 4:00 p.m. the following day, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and Holidays. <br />Missed pickup calls shall be entered, by Contractor, into the Contractor’s database identifying the <br />time when the call is received notifying them of the missed pickup and when the service is <br />completed. The missed pickups that fail to comply with the requirements of this section are “non- <br />compliant missed pickups”. The City shall invoice Contractor for each non-compliant missed pickup <br />per Section 14.3. <br />14.2.Area-Wide Missed Pickup/Route Non-Completion <br />An area-wide missed pickup or a non-completion of the route is defined as one or both sides of a <br />street or alley, one block or larger, if contiguous that is not picked up by 8 p.m. on any scheduled <br />Collection day. Whenever the Contractor misses an area that should have received scheduled <br />service, the City shall invoice the Contractor according to Section 14.3. <br />14.3.Administrative Non-Compliance <br />Whenever Contractor performs services in a non-compliant manner, as determined by the City, and <br />Contractor has failed to cure, the City shall invoice Contractor up to $2,500 per occurrence. <br />Assessment amounts may vary and shall be proportional to the serverity of the violation. Examples <br />include, but are not limited to, items such as: <br />¨Failure to operate during basic operating hours. <br />¨Failure to complete the Collections within the specified timeframes without proper notice <br />to the City. <br />¨Failure to respond to legitimate service complaints within 24 hours in a reasonable and <br />professional manner. <br />¨Failure to accurately answer a resident’s question to the Contractor’s Customer service call <br />center. <br />¨Failure to report and clean-up hydraulic spills or clean-up material spills within one hour of <br />notification. <br />139
