As most people in this indus1xy are aware, <br />the City of Irvine holds contractors to some of the most rigidly high standards anywhere and MLS <br />has met those standards for more than II years across three different contract terms. <br /> <br />Generally speaking in this type of arrangement, sprinkler line breaks and/or sprinkler head problems <br />are repaired by the entity that is responsible for the upkeep of the irrigation systems. If a sprinkler <br />line or head repair is caused by an MLS crew member, MLS will take responsibility and repair the <br />problem immediately at no charge. <br /> <br />In cases where a quick coupler breaks or is partially open and leaking due to rocks or debris MLS <br />will repair the coupler and will invoice the work at the contractually defined "Special Service" Call <br />Out rate. Parts and consumables will be invoiced at cost and paid receipts will be submitted with the <br />invoice. MLS staff are capable of repairing sprinklers in emergency cases and can assist in <br />emergency situations. <br /> <br />Bid Pricing and Payment Terms <br />The prices provided herewith will be firm for the frrsttwo (2) years ofthis contract In the event that <br />the contract is extended beyond the initial two (2) year period, MLS will expect to increase the <br />Annual Cost for each field by an amount equal to the inflationary increase defined by the Los <br />Angeles, Orange and Riverside County Consumer Price Index. (The original contract <br />commencement date will be used to establish the base.) <br /> <br />Payment terms shall be Net 30 and MLS reserves the right to charge a reasonable Finance Charge <br />on delinquent balances.
