2. Trained Personnel: Contractor employees shall be supervised by personnel qualified to perform the work required by the Contract in order to provide immediate and prompt service as ordered and requested by the City. The Contractor shall assume any and all responsibility for the conduct of its employees. The Contractor guarantees that all of the employees performing under this contract will be adequately trained in their profession, will respond promptly to all calls, will provide safe and adequate equipment (as herein specified), be clean and neat in appearance, use language free of profanity, and treat members of the public courteously at all times. 3. Subcontractors: Where two or more Contractors desire to submit a single proposal, the submission should be on a contractor/sub-contractor basis rather than as a joint venture. For this engagement, the City intends to contract with an individual contractor and not with multiple contractors doing business as a joint venture.
