The contractor shall be required tD clear all his work- men with the State Department of Employment or such other agency as may be designated by the City Council before such workmen commence work. INITIAL BID The bidder shall specify in his bid a flat monthly (rate of) compensation for which he agrees to perform the collection and disposal service herein described and speci- fied during the calendar months beginning November 1, 1950 and ending June 30, 1951 , based upon a one, two or three year term of contract, as determined by the bid and Resolution of Award. BASIS OF COMPENSATION It is the intention that the bids for the collection of garbage and rubbish shall be based upon the present area -15- c-n; and population of the City, and that the initial monthly compensation to be paid the contractor shall be increased in proportion to the number of inhabitants or to enlarge- ment of boundaries of the City. F It is also understood that the initial monthly com- pensation shall be decreased if the number of inhabitants served decreases whether such decrease is due to decrease of population or to diminution of the size of the City. It is understood that increase or decrease in number of water meters within the City shall be deemed to accurately reflect the increase or decrease in inhabitants served, and periodic adjustments shall be made to reflect such fluctua- tion in population, as hereinafter described. The initial monthly compensation paid the contractor, which is the amount of his bid for the months of November, 1950 to June, 1951 both inclusive, shall not fluc- tuate, and such initial compensation shall be the basic rate of monthly compensation upon which all subsequent semi- annual adjustments of compensation shall be computed. COUNT OF METERS Upon July 10 1951, or within twenty (20) days there- after, a count shall be made by the Director of Public Works of all active connected water meters, as hereinafter defined, installed in said City, as of that date, as shown by the records of the Water Department of the City of El Segundo. He shall also make a similar count of the number of active connected water meters that were installed in the said City upon the beginning date of the contract, viz., as of November 1, 1950 , which latter count shall be the basic meter count upon which all subsequent semi - annual ad- justments of compensation shall be computed. In the event more than one residential, business or other unit is served -16- C oa through any single meter, the number of meters for such place or establishment for the purposes of the count herein referred to shall be considered and reported as equal to the number of units served through such meters. METHOD OF COMPUTING RATE PER METER The meter counts hereinabove described shall be re- ported by the Director of Public Works to the City Clerk, who shall compute the rate per meter in the following manner, viz., the initial monthly compensation shall be divided by the basic meter count, thus establishing a monthly rate or cost per meter. This rate per meter shall prevail throughout the life of this contract. Computation herein described shall be carried to the fourth decimal place. METHOD OF COMPUTING RATE PER MONTH As affecting subsequent payments, the City Clerk shall then multiply the current adjusted count of meters, viz., the count as of July 1, 1951, by the monthly rate per meter as established in the preceding paragraph, thus establishing a new monthly rate of compensation for collection service, which monthly compensation shall be paid the contractor during the ensuing six months' period. Thereafter, during the life of this contract, a similar count subject to adjustment as in the case of the basic meter count shall be made of all active connected water meters installed in said City as of the first day of each July and January and within twenty (20) days thereafter. This count shall be reported to the City Clerk, who shall thereupon adjust said count of meters by subtracting therefrom the number, if any, of refuse disposal services officially exempted from refuse collection and disposal charges. Such count so adjusted shall be used by the City Clerk to compute the (monthly) compensation to be paid the -17- { r contractor during the ensuing six months' collection period, in the manner hereinabove described. Count shall be made by the Director of Public Works only of active connected residential, business and industrial water meters in operation in the City and in no event shall more than one meter be counted with respect to each resi- dential occupancy or business. Churches, lodges and the like shall be included in said count, but shall be itemized separately from residential, industrial and commercial meter service. PROTEST The City Clerk immediately upon receipt of count of meters in each instance, as hereinabove provided, shall notify the contractor of said count. Within thirty (30) days of such notification the con- tractor may protest said count or newly established monthly compensation based thereon, in writing, setting forth the reasons for his objection. Should such protest be filed, the contractor and the City Council shall each select an arbitrator, and the two persons so selected shall choose a third arbitrator. These three persons shall constitute a board of arbitration, and they shall settle the dispute as to such count or monthly compensation within fifteen (15) days of the date of their appointment, and shall make written report to the contractor and the City Council setting forth their decision as to what shall be deemed an equitable count or monthly compensation under the circumstances. The contractor and the City shall be bound by the decision of the said Board of Arbitration and shall be thereafter barred from protesting said count or any payment made pursuant to recommendation of said Board of Arbitration. IM e119s elzc In the event the contractor protests the count or (monthly) compensation as herein described, any payments for services based on said count shall be withheld until the final determination and report by said Board of Arbitration. In the event no protest is filed as herein provided, then the count and (monthly) compensation established by the City Clerk shall be final and binding upon both the City and the contractor. TIME OF PAYMENT Except as otherwise provided in these specifications, monthly payments shall be made by the City to the contractor as far as possible between the first and twentieth days of each calendar month for services rendered during the pre- ceding calendar month. SUBCONTRACTORS The contract shall not be assigned or transferred without the consent of the City Council by resolution first had and obtained, nor shall any subcontractor be recognized or dealt with by the City Council or any of the persons chargeable with the enforcement of the contract, and the contractor shall at all times be personally responsible for the performance of its conditions. BOND TO ACCOMPANY BID Each bid must be accompanied by a certified or cashierts check, or bidder's bond, or a cash deposit, made payable to the City of E1 Segundo in the amount of $5,000.00. The check, bond or deposit of the successful bidder will be for- feited to said City in the event such bidder fails or re- fuses for a period of ten (10) days after written notice of award of contract to enter into the required contract pursuant to the award. -19- BID REJECTION The right is reserved to reject any bid or proposal not suitable in the judgment of the City Council to the best interest of the City, or to reject any and all bids. AFFIDAVIT OF NON - COLLUSION Each bidder shall accompany his bid with an affidavit subscribed and sworn to by him that the said bid is not col- lusive and that said bidder has not filed or presented such bid in collusion with any other bidder. Blank affidavit forms for this purpose will be furnished free on application to the City Clerk. SECTION 2. That the City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this resolution; shall cause the original of the same to be entered in the book of resolutions of said City of El Segundo, and shall make a minute of the passage and adoption thereof in the records of the proceed- ings of the City Council of said City, in the minutes of the meeting at which the same is passed and adopted.
