§ 19-310. Maintenance

(a) Franchisee shall maintain, repair, clean and service all bus shelters within the city's limits. Franchisee shall be at liberty to enter upon and into shelters at any reasonable time with personnel and all necessary materials, including but not limited to electric wires, meters, clock work machinery and other items reasonably necessary for making such shelter or bench effective. All such work shall be performed at the sole expense of franchisee. Each bench, trash receptacle or shelter shall be cleaned not less than two (2) times per week.

(b) Franchisee shall comply with each of the following requirements:

(1) Such bench or shelter shall have displayed, in a conspicuous place thereon, the name, address and telephone number of franchisee.

(2) Franchisee shall, at its sole expense, maintain such bench, shelter or trash receptacle in a neat, attractive, safe and sanitary manner at all times during the terms of this franchise or any extension thereof. Any damaged, defective, defaced, vandalized or worn out part of the bench or shelter that the franchisee is required to maintain shall be repaired or replaced by franchisee within forty-eight (48) hours following discovery thereof by franchisee or receipt of notice thereof by franchisee from city, whichever is earlier; provided, however, that any condition which, in the opinion of the director of public services, constitutes a safety hazard shall be corrected, repaired, replaced or removed by franchisee immediately upon notification thereof by city. In the event franchisee fails to repair or replace such bench or shelter within the time herein specified, city may, at its sole discretion, cause the repair or removal of the bench or shelter and apply franchisee's cash deposit toward the cost thereof, in whole or part. Any costs not so applied shall be paid directly to city by franchisee within ten (10) days following receipt by franchisee of an invoice therefor.
