Scheduling of Services <br />i) The Provider shall schedule and perform its activities in a timely manner. <br /> <br />ii) Should the County determine that the Provider is behind schedule, it may require <br />the Provider to expedite and accelerate its efforts, including providing additional <br />resources and working overtime, as necessary, to perform its services in <br />accordance with the approved project schedule at no additional cost to the <br />County. <br /> <br />iii) The Commencement Date for the Provider's Basic Services shall be October 22, <br />2019. <br /> <br />5. Compensation <br /> <br />a. Compensation for Basic Services. Compensation for Basic Services shall include all <br />compensation due the Provider from the County for all services under this Agreement. <br />This Agreement is intended to be an umbrella agreement authorizing the performance of <br />emergency storm debris clearance and removal services that may or may not be <br />necessary during the term of the Agreement. Should activation of a contract become <br />necessary, fees will be estimated based off the initial assessment of damages occurred, <br />using the fee schedules determined by the Local Government Debris Manager in <br />consultation with State and FEMA officials. Prior to any service being provided, the <br />County and Provider shall negotiate a “Not to Exceed” amount for the services required <br />within this Agreement. The written Notice to Proceed issued by the County shall include <br />the negotiated Not to Exceed Amount. Upon completion of the service Provider shall <br />submit an invoice to the County as provided herein. All invoices shall include <br />appropriate detail to satisfy County and current FEMA requirements. In the event the <br />amount stated on an invoice is disputed by the County, the County may withhold <br />payment of all or a portion of the amount stated on an invoice until the parties resolve <br />the dispute. Payment for Basic Services may only be made upon receipt of a properly <br />submitted invoice. Payment shall be made through the County’s purchase order process <br />and any such purchase order shall have attached a corresponding scope of work and shall <br />be pre-audited as required by North Carolina law. Should Provider fail to perform its <br />duties under the terms of this Agreement, County may, without fault or penalty, <br />withhold any payment associated with the work to be performed until such time as said <br />work is completed. <br /> <br />b. Additional Services. County shall not be responsible for costs related to any services in <br />addition to the Basic Services performed by Provider unless County requests such <br />additional services in writing and such additional services are evidenced by a written <br />amendment to this Agreement. <br /> <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 5FA4B1AC-B897-4C32-A1E4-4B4A8885A341
