Common use of Service Characteristics Clause in Contracts

Service Characteristics. 8.1 Service hereunder shall be at alternating current, 3-phase, 4-wire, 60 Hertz, 13.8Y/7.97 kV, 75 MVA with an allowable variation of 10% above or below nominal voltages. 8.2 The City will use its best efforts in good faith to supply continuous electric service at the Facility Delivery Points; provided, however that the foregoing shall not be deemed or construed to be a guarantee of continuity of service. It shall be the responsibility of Coffeyville Resources to install and maintain protective devices, which will protect the Facility’s equipment or process during abnormal service conditions or the failure of part or all of the electric service. The provisions of the latest edition of the National Electrical Code and the National Electric Safety Code shall be considered as the minimum acceptable standard for the protection and safeguarding of persons, wiring and/or equipment of the Facility. In no event will the City be liable for any damages to Coffeyville Resources if the Facility equipment or process is not protected or safeguarded in conformity with such minimum code requirements, nor shall the City be liable for any service interruption, irregularities, or any other causes or abnormalities not caused by the sole negligence of the City. 8.3 In order to make necessary repairs to or replacements in the City’s facilities for supplying electric service, the City reserves the right in accordance with Good Utility Practice, without incurring any liability therefor, to suspend service without notice to Coffeyville Resources for such periods as may be reasonably necessary. When conditions permit an attempt will be made to notify Coffeyville Resources of such an outage. Insofar as is practicable, any interruption shall be made at a time, which will cause least reasonable inconvenience to the Facility. 8.4 The City also reserves the right to discontinue service to the Facility without advance notice, when a defective condition of wiring or equipment at the Facility results, or is likely to result, in danger to life or property or interference with proper service to others. Electric service to the Facility will not be resumed until the defective condition has been remedied to the satisfaction of the City. If such defective condition is the result of tampering with City equipment, the provisions related to the fraudulent use of electricity shall also apply. 8.5 The City will endeavor at all times to maintain and operate its electrical system with minimal interruption and voltage fluctuations consistent with economically realistic operations and with Good Utility Practice. 8.6 Whenever high or low voltage problems are suspected the City will check the voltage. If necessary, corrective adjustment to the voltage will be made without delay. 8.7 Electric service shall be provided to the Facility by two 13.8Y/7.97 kV, 75 MVA services. 8.8 Coffeyville Resources hereby authorizes agents of the City to enter the Facility at all times for any purpose incidental to the supplying of electric service, including, but not limited to, inspecting the Facility’s equipment and connections; repairing, replacing or removing City property; or tree trimming and tree removal. Refusal on the part of Coffeyville Resources to provide reasonable access for the above purposes shall be deemed to be sufficient cause for discontinuance of service. 8.9 Any and all equipment, apparatus and devices placed or installed, or caused to be placed or installed by the City on or in the Facility’s premises shall be and remain the property of the City, regardless of the mode or manner of annexation or attachment to real property. Upon the termination of this Agreement, the City shall, within a reasonable time, remove such equipment, apparatus, or devices. 8.10 City liability is limited as provided in Article XVI hereof.
