K. REMEDY FOR FAILURE TO PERFORM <br />The Contractor may be called back to correct deficiencies in adherence to the General <br />Specifications at no additional cost to the City. Response time should be as soon as possible, <br />but shall be no more than two (2) hours from the receipt of the call during normal business hours. <br />Hours not worked will be deducted from monthly payments if these hours are persistent, or if a <br />quality control issue appears. Deduction for hours not worked does not constitute a waiver of the <br />specifications or acceptance of the conditions of performance. Contractor's failure to perform <br />under the term and frequencies specified herein may result in a reduction in the monthly payment <br />due the Contractor, or termination of the contract. The types of reductions described below may, <br />at the City's discretion and after notification to the Contractor, be imposed for any deficiencies <br />and/or failures to provide remedies. <br />Immediate response requires the Contractor to report to the job site to correct deficiencies from <br />the previous night. The deficiencies shall be of such a nature as to warrant immediate correction <br />and/or to negatively affect the enjoyment and/or use of the building. Deficiencies requiring <br />immediate response are those that adversely affect the building's occupants. This may include, <br />but not be limited to, failure to properly restock dispensers and/or to properly clean specified <br />areas. Should the Contractor fail to respond as required to make corrections, the City may, at its <br />sole discretion, deduct a portion of the payment for one day depending on the nature of the <br />infraction. <br />Penalties may be assessed for each item missed on the cleaning schedule that does not require <br />an immediate response; and failure to follow security procedures as outlined herein. City staff <br />may, at periodic intervals, inspect before the start of the business day and note any deficiencies <br />on a written checklist. The Contractor will be called and asked to make corrections based on the <br />aforementioned list. Failure to make corrections before the next inspection will result in the <br />Contractor being assessed one demerit per item left uncorrected. The accumulation of up to <br />twenty demerits in any one calendar month may result in the Contractor being assessed a $100 <br />penalty deduction from the monthly payment. Demerits exceeding twenty in one calendar month <br />may result in a $500 penalty deduction from the monthly payment, and could result in termination <br />of the contract. <br />L. EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR SANTA ANA RESIDENTS <br />Contractor shall solicit and advertise employment opportunities to Santa Ana residents. The City <br />shall inform the contractor of areas to publicize recruitment opportunities, such as work centers <br />and community centers. Such effort and procedure will be provided to the City for review. <br />M. EMPLOYMENT OF DISPLACED SANTA ANA WORKFORCE <br />When applicable, the contractor shall extend offers of employment to any displaced City of Santa <br />Ana employee for a minimum of one (1) year and at a rate commensurate to his/her last base <br />salary amount as an employee of the City of Santa Ana. Thereafter, the contractor may pay <br />according to the contractor normal pay structure. Contractor costs should be amortized over the <br />[number] year contract period. <br />N. COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS <br />1. Contractor shall perform all requirements under this contract in strict observance of and in <br />compliance with all applicable environmental, traffic, safety and any other laws, regulations, <br />ordinances, codes and any other legislative or statutory requirements. <br />2. Contractor warrants that the performance of services under this contract shall be compliant with <br />the current requirements of the [applicable & relevant statutes and/or regulations] and as it may <br />be amended or updated throughout the term of this contract. <br />O.
