City for cancelled abatements when at least twenty-four (24) hours prior notice by the City has been given to the Contractor. 8. Performance: Should the Contractor fail to appear for an appointed abatement at the scheduled time, the City reserves the right to call another abatement Contractor to perform the work. In the event that at any time, it becomes necessary for the City to request the services of another Contractor for the reasons detailed above, the City reserves the right to hold the Contractor responsible for any additional charges at the rate of charges agreed upon in the Contractor's Contract with the City. Any additional charges shall be assessed only if the response time is due to negligence on the part of the Contractor, which negligence may include equipment failure. If the Contractor is called and is unable to respond due to conditions beyond its control, the authorized City officials shall be immediately so informed, and the right is hereby reserved to call another contractor to perform the work. 9. Storage Facility: The Contractor shall operate and maintain a storage facility for all Abated Property in compliance with the terms of this contract and all State and City applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations that are presently in effect or which may hereafter be adopted. Pursuant to Ramsey City Code Section 2-332, unclaimed property and vehicles are eligible for disposal or sale fifteen (15 days) after the abatement, subject to Minnesota Chapter 168B titled "Abandoned Motor Vehicles," when applicable. 10. Reclaiming Property: Within 15 days of the abatement, the property owner can reclaim any items held by paying all fees incurred by the City associated with the abatement. Contractor shall be permitted to schedule appointments with the property owner during normal business hours for purposes of property owner's retrieval of Abated Property. The Contractor will invoice the City for all expenses associated with the Abatement prior to releasing any items to the property owner. The property owner will pay the fees directly to the City, and not the Contractor. 11. In the event of a breach by the Contractor of any terms or conditions of the Contract, the City shall have, in addition to any other legal recourse, the right to terminate the Contract immediately. 12. Either party may terminate the Contract without cause upon the serving of such termination notice to the other, in writing, thirty (30) days prior to the intended termination date. 13. A copy of the Contract(s) shall be readily available for inspection at the Contractor's place of business. 4
