INTENT AND SCOPE

It is the intent of this contract to have a Contractor provide clean-up work on properties assigned by the City of Kalamazoo. The work required is in response to enforcement notices and corrective actions relating to nuisances created by accumulation of junk, debris, trash, garbage, brush and other unsightly materials on private properties, and the removal of materials from the public right-of-way that are in violation of applicable City ordinances.

Hazardous materials, i.e., batteries (vehicle type), oils, cleaning solvents, liquids stored in drums and paints shall be removed from the property. All hazardous materials shall be transported to the Household Hazardous Waste Center at 1301 Lamont Avenue. Tires are to be removed from the property and recycled in accordance with all applicable state legislation (See Public Act 451 and all applicable amendments).

Contractor's employees will not be required to crawl under porches or crawl spaces to remove debris. Only debris that can be removed by reaching with a rake will be the responsibility of the Contractor. From time-to-time interior cleaning of household trash may also be required, but only at the discretion of the City's Code Compliance Inspector.

The Code Compliance Inspector or designee will direct the clean up operations and will have the final word as to what materials will be removed from and what materials will remain on the property.
