SECTION 5 Scone of Services Contractor shall perform Recycling Collection Services as follows: Contractor shall collect and remove for marketing or reuse all properly prepared Recyclable Materials which are placed in or adjacent to approved Recycling Containers at the curb,roadside(in the case when there is no curb),or other agreed upon location in the case of Handicap/Disabled collection(for further details about proper preparation of Recyclable Materials, see Section 13 of this Contract). In-Town Routes will be run on a once per week collection schedule,and Rural Routes will be run on a once every other week(biweekly)collection schedule. The Recycling Collection Services performed may be expanded or contracted as the budget and other constraints permit. Contractor shall assist in collection effectiveness by ensuring that any materials spilled in the process of recycling collections,or any overflowing recylables,are collected and placed in the truck. Collectors shall carry a broom and dustpan to sweep up any broken glass or litter that occurs in the process of recycling. Collection personnel shall also pick up any recyclables under or immediately next to the recycling containers,when recyclables have been properly contained. When and if County receives a report of spilled recyclables,and County determines that said spillage of materials occurred due to action or inaction of Contractor, County may require Contractor to clean said spilled recyclables on the same business day that the report was received by County. Failure to clean up verifiably spilled recyclable materials on the day of report of said spillage may result in penalty fines being levied by County. County may assess a$25.00 penalty per day for each verifiable occurrence of spilled recyclable materials not cleaned up by Contractor by 5:00 PM of the day of notification. A single verifiable occurrence of spilled recyclables shall be defined as any one pile of materials(i.e. a single mound of broken glass)or any one isolated area where paper or plastic bottles may have been blown from a truck. For example,if there are two(2) piles of broken glass on any one street, separated by a distance of ten(10)or more feet,this shall count as two(2)occurrences of spilled materials. One time each fiscal year the Contractor may request that the County clean up the spilled materials, and in this case County may deduct the cost of providing this service from the invoice for recycling collection services performed by Contractor. The cost to the Contractor for having County provide clean-up services will be$50.00 per hour, with a minimum charge of one hour. Where there are improperly prepared recyclables,unacceptable materials placed in the bins,or recyclable materials placed in an unapproved container, Contractor shall leave form notices for the resident explaining the problem. Said notice forms shall be commonly referred to as "Oops Tags." There shall be three(3)types of Oops Tags:In-Town Oops Tags,Rural Oops Tags,and Dry-Cell Battery Oops Tags. County shall be responsible for providing Contractor with Oops Tags specific to dry-cell batteries. Contractor shall be responsible for providing the general In-Town and Rural Oops Tags. The form and content of the general Oops Tags must be approved by County. The general Oops Tag notice must contain instructions describing how to properly prepare materials for recycling and how to contact County for further information about recycling programs. 5
