Common use of Cleaning and Disinfection Clause in Contracts

Cleaning and Disinfection. (1) In- demnity for cleaning and disinfection of premises, conveyances, and mate- rials that came into contact with poul- try that are infected with or exposed to H5/H7 LPAI will be based on receipts or other documentation maintained by the claimant verifying expenditures for cleaning and disinfection activities au- thorized by this part. Any cleaning and disinfection of premises, conveyances, and materials for which indemnity is requested must be performed under a compliance agreement between the claimant, the Cooperating State Agen- cy, and APHIS. APHIS will review claims for indemnity for cleaning and disinfection to ensure that all expendi- tures relate directly to activities de- scribed in § 56.5 and in the initial State response and containment plan de- scribed in § 56.10. (2) In the case of materials, if the cost of cleaning and disinfection would exceed the value of the materials or cleaning and disinfection would be im- practicable for any reason, indemnity for the destruction of the materials will be based on the fair market value of those materials, as determined by an appraisal. Materials will be appraised by an APHIS official appraiser and a State official appraiser jointly, or, if APHIS and State authorities agree, by either an APHIS official appraiser or a State official appraiser alone. Indem- nity for disposal of the materials will be based on receipts or other docu- mentation maintained by the claimant verifying expenditures for disposal ac- tivities authorized by this part. Ap- praisals of materials must be reported on forms furnished by APHIS and signed by the appraisers and must be signed by the owners of the materials to indicate agreement with the ap- praisal amount. Appraisals of mate- rials must be signed prior to the de- struction of the materials, unless the owners, APHIS, and the Cooperating State Agency agree that the materials may be destroyed immediately. Any disposal of materials for which indem- nity is requested must be performed under a compliance agreement between the claimant, the Cooperating State Agency, and APHIS. APHIS will review claims for compensation for disposal to ensure that all expenditures relate di- rectly to activities described in § 56.5 and in the initial State response and containment plan described in § 56.10.
