SUMMARY OF WORK

In the event of a Hurricane entering the Gulf of Mexico, a Tropical Storm predicted by the National

Hurricane Center to strengthen to a Hurricane within the Gulf of Mexico or a Hurricane Watch being issued

for the coast of the United States with strike probability of 72 hours, the vendor representative will

request from the Board of Water and Sewer Commissioners, delivery or on-hold instructions. The Board

of Water and Sewer Commissioners will be given a period of 24 hours for commitment of the rental where

the vendor will continue to hold in reserve the listed generators and pumps after notification of an

impending storm. The Board of Water and Sewer Commissioners will select some, all or none of the listed

generators and pumps to be delivered or placed in on-hold status. The Board of Water and Sewer

Commissioners acknowledges that pumps and generators not requested by MAWSS for delivery or

placement in on-hold status during the aforementioned 24 hours can be released by the vendor without

further obligation. If the decision is to activate the plan, the vendor will deliver the requested specified

equipment with the agreed upon timeframe and location after notification. Upon receipt of all listed

equipment, the agreed upon rental rates will go into effect should ANY individual rental items be utilized

with documented run time, otherwise on-hold or reserve status rates will apply. Should On-Hold status

be chosen, the Board of Water and Sewer Commissioners will have five (5) days to discontinue the On-

Hold status and commit to use or contact the vendor for return of the equipment stored on our yard

before full rental rates will apply. Rental rates will discontinue upon receiving call to pick up equipment.

This agreement covers the time period of June 1st through November 30th (26 weeks) with actual dates

decided upon individually. During this 26-week period, the vendor will offer the option of either placing

any units on standby in our yard or vendor’s yard for delivery in a much shorter response time after call is

made.

Fuel tanks on equipment will be shipped full of fuel upon delivery. The Board of Water and Sewer

Commissioners will replace any fuel consumed.

The vendor agrees to fully maintain the equipment during the use and rental period. The vendor agrees

to have maintenance parts on hand and will replace defective equipment immediately.

Generators and pumps will be trailer mounted for easy transportation. Delivery charges will not apply

unless delivery is made to the Board of Water and Sewer Commissioners.
