Corollary services include repairs or replacement of County and or Towns' property, or <br /> private property due to damage caused by Contractor as part of the recycling operation. Any repairs <br /> or replacement must be complete within thirty(30)days of damage. <br /> In the event of severe weather or other event that necessitates the temporary cancellation of <br /> recycling services, County may negotiate with Contractor and receive a reduction in cost of services <br /> for services that were not rendered. In general, if services are temporarily canceled at County's <br /> request, County will pay in full for services which are not performed (except as otherwise noted <br /> within this Contract), and in such case County may request that Contractor provide said services on <br /> a make-up day at no further cost to County. If Contractor is unable to provide service due to severe <br /> weather or other event, County may negotiate with Contractor and receive reduction in the cost of <br /> services,to be deducted from the invoice for the period during which services were not provided,or <br /> from an invoice for any service period following that service period. Any reduction in the costs of <br /> services shall be based upon the pro-rata share of services not rendered minus Contractor's <br /> verifiable overhead expenses plus any verifiable increased expenses (i.e. overtime costs incurred by <br /> Contractor due to excessive amounts of recyclable materials having been held over during period of <br /> cancellation). <br /> SECTION 17 <br /> Protection of Recyclable Materials <br /> County agrees to take such steps as may be reasonably necessary to protect Contractor's ownership <br /> of all Recyclable Materials placed in the recycling containers for collection by Contractor under the <br /> terms of this Contract and may consider adopting anti-scavenging ordinances, if necessary, to <br /> provide such protection. <br /> SECTION 18 <br /> Permits and Licenses <br /> Contractor, at its sole cost and expense, shall maintain throughout the term of this Contract all <br /> permits, licenses and approvals necessary or required for Contractor to perform the work and <br /> services described herein, including but not limited to the collection of Recyclable Materials and <br /> operation of the Processing Center. <br /> SECTION 19 <br /> Independent Contractor <br /> Contractor shall perform all work and services described herein as an independent contractor and <br /> not as an officer, agent, servant or employee of County.
