Common use of Manner of Collection Clause in Contracts

Manner of Collection. All residential collections are to be made curbside, that is, at a point no more than five (5) feet from the point at which a driveway or other main access to the premises intersects either the Village, county or state road in closest proximity to the same. The contractor is also required to collect from any private road (typically designated as a "Way") on which there are seven (7) or more residences. Due care is to be exercised by the contractor to prevent containers from being damaged. Empty containers shall be returned to the locations from which they were collected. Vehicles shall not be loaded to such an extent that the solid waste cannot be covered. Further, the spilling of the same will not be tolerated. Holiday schedules must be arranged with the Village, and in accordance with availability of the disposal site. In the event, however, that a route will be more efficient by changing collection days, the same will be permitted provided a detailed map of the proposed route change(s) is provided to the Village with this bid. Further, it is the obligation of the contractor to notify residents via the written news media as to the specific collection route proposed. With regard to route changes, the contractor shall notify individual residents and commercial enterprises of the change no later than thirty days prior to the proposed change date. Said notification must be approved by the VILLAGE prior to delivery to residents. In the event that inclement weather conditions cause certain roadways on the collection route to be impassable by the contractor’s vehicle(s), such collections may be delayed until such roadways are cleared / repaired. The contractor shall notify the Village of such conditions, and shall complete the collection of all solid waste and recyclables as soon as practicable, but not later than the Sunday following the scheduled collection date. Collection of residential solid waste and recyclables shall not be cancelled by the contractor, under any conditions, without the written consent of the Village.
