Contractor shall reimburse City for such costs within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date of City’s invoice to Contractor for such costs. If the Contractor does not pay the invoice within fourteen (14) days, interest shall accrue at 10% per annum and City may, at it’s election, keep the container.
