Common use of Scales Clause in Contracts

Scales. CRRA shall provide and use scales for determining the quantity of Acceptable Solid Waste delivered to the Connecticut Solid Waste System by or on behalf of the Municipality. In the event of a dispute as to the accuracy of such scales, the Municipality shall provide written notice of the same to CRRA. Within fifteen (15) days of its receipt of such notice, CRRA have its scales tested for accuracy. If such test reveals that CRRA’s scales are in compliance with the tolerances permitted by the State of Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection, then the Municipality shall pay CRRA’s reasonable expenses for such tests and the Municipality shall withdraw its dispute. Alternatively, if such test reveals that CRRA’s scales are not in compliance with the aforementioned tolerances (whether such non-compliance has resulted in underweights or overweights), then CRRA shall have its scales recalibrated, and CRRA shall pay the Municipality’s expenses for such tests and recalibration.
