shall continue in effect for a period of sixty days; or
Failure to Perform Services under Agreement. The Franchisee has defaulted, by failing or
refusing to perform or observe the terms, conditions or covenants in this Agreement or has
wrongfully failed or refused to comply with the instructions of the Contract Manager relative
thereto, whether such default is considered minor or major, and such default is not cured within
thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice by City to do so, or if by reason of the nature of such
default, the same cannot be remedied within thirty (30) days following receipt by Franchisee of
written demand from City to do so, Franchisee fails to commence the remedy of such default
within said thirty (30) days following such written notice or having so commenced shall fail
thereafter to continue with diligence the curing thereof (with Franchisee having the burden of
proof to demonstrate that the default cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, and that it is

curable default.

15.1. Interim Collection Services. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if
Franchisee fails to provide Residential Solid Waste Collection Service for a period of three (3)
consecutive scheduled Collection days, the City may obtain the Franchisee's Collection records on the
fourth Collection day to provide applicable interim Collection services until such time as the Franchisee is
again able to perform pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, if the Franchisee is unable for any
reason or cause to resume performance at the end of ten (10) working days, all liability of the City under
this Agreement to the Franchisee shall cease and this Agreement may be deemed immediately terminated
by the City.
15.2 Habitual Violator. Notwithstanding the foregoing and as supplemental and additional means of
termination of this Agreement under this section, in the event that Franchisee's record of performance
shows that Franchisee has frequently, regularly or repetitively defaulted in the performance of any of the
covenants and conditions required herein to be kept and performed by Franchisee, in the reasonable
opinion of the City and regardless of whether Franchisee has corrected each individual default, Franchisee
shall be deemed a "habitual violator," shall forfeit the right to any further notice or grace period to correct
or cure future defaults, and all of such defaults shall be considered cumulative and, collectively, shall
constitute a condition of iT-edeemable default. The City shall thereupon issue a final warning letter to
Franchisee, setting forth in detail all of the facts and circumstances constituting the determination of
"habitual violator." Thereafter, any single default by Franchisee of whatever nature shall be grounds for
immediate termination of this Agreement. In the event of any such subsequent default, the City may
terminate this Agreement upon the giving of written final notice to Franchisee, such termination to be
effective on the date set forth in the final notice, and all contractual fees due under this Agreement plus
any and all charges and interest shall be payable to such date, and Franchisee shall have no further rights
under this Agreement. Immediately upon receipt of such final notice, Franchisee shall proceed to cease
any further performance under this Agreement.
15.3. Date of Agreement Termination for Default. Except as otherwise provided in this section,
termination shall be effective upon the date specified in City's written notice to Franchisee and upon such
date this Agreement shall be deemed immediately terminated and upon such termination all liability of
the City under this Agreement to the Franchisee shall cease, and the City shall be free to negotiate with
any Person for Collection services. The Franchisee shall reimburse the City for all direct and indirect
costs of providing interim Collection service.
15.4. Termination with or Without Cause. The agreement resulting from this RFP can be terminated
within thirty (30) days written notice from the City with cause if Franchisee is found to have failed to
perform services in a manner satisfactory to the City. The City shall be sole judge of non-performance.
Further, the agreement can be terminated by either party without cause upon one -hundred twenty (120)
days written notice by either Party. In the event of termination without cause, the Franchisee shall be
compensated for all services performed to the City's satisfaction.
Section 16. General Provisions
16.0 Survival. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each obligation in this Agreement to be
performed by Franchisee shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
16,1, Waiver. The failure of the City at any time to require performance by the Franchisee of any
provision hereof shall in no way affect the right of the City thereafter to enforce the same. No waiver by
the City of any breach of any provision hereof shall be taken or held to be a waiver of any succeeding
breach of such provision or as a waiver of any provision itself.
23 of 31
16.2. Remedies. No remedy herein conferred upon any party is intended to be exclusive of any other
remedy and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every such
remedy given under this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or
otherwise. No single or partial exercise by any party or any right, power, or remedy under this Agreement
shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof. If any legal action or other proceeding is brought for

in connection with any provisions of this Agreement, each party shall bear its own costs.

occurrence of any event rendering any portion or provision of this Agreement void, shall in no way affect
the validity or enforceability of any other portion or provision of the Agreement. Any void provision shall
be deemed severed from :he Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be construed and
enforced as if the Agreement did not contain the particular portion or provision held to be void. The
parties further agree to reform the Agreement to replace any stricken provision with a valid provision that
comes as close as possible to the intent of the stricken provision. The provisions of this Section shall not
prevent the entire Agreement from being void should a provision which of the essence of the Agreement,
at the option of the City, be determined to be void.

this Agreement shall be made in whole by the Franchisee without the express prior written consent of the

express prior written consent of the City shall be null and void and shall be grounds for the City to declare

Franchisee. Upon the date of such notice, this Agreement shall be deemed immediately terminated, and
upon such termination all liability of the City under this Agreement to the Franchisee shall cease, and the

in writing and signed by the parties hereto. Such modification shall be in the form of an Amendment

respect to all services performed under this Agreement.
