Common use of Alternative Facilities Clause in Contracts

Alternative Facilities. If Contractor is unable to use the Approved Recyclable Materials Processing Facility due to an emergency or sudden and unforeseen closure of the Approved Recyclable Materials Processing Facility that is outside the control of the Contractor, Contractor may use an alternative Processing Facility provided that the Contractor provides written notice to Authority Contract Manager. Within forty-eight (48) hours of such emergency or sudden and unforeseen closure, the Contractor shall provide a written description of the reasons the use of the Approved Recyclable Materials Processing Facility is not feasible and the period of time Contractor proposes to use the alternative Processing Facility. Such a change in Processing Facility shall be temporarily permitted until such time as the Authority Contract Manager is able to consider and respond to the use of the proposed alternative Processing Facility. If the use of the proposed alternative Processing Facility is anticipated to or actually does exceed thirty (30) days in a consecutive twelve (12) month period, the use of such Processing Facility shall be subject to approval by the Authority Contract Manager. The Authority Contract Manager may, in their sole discretion, approve, conditionally approve, temporarily approve, or disapprove of the use of the proposed alternative Processing Facility. In the event that the Authority disapproves the use of the proposed alternative Processing Facility, the Parties shall meet and confer to determine an acceptable Processing Facility. If the need to use the alternative Processing Facility is discretionary or for reasons within Contractor’s reasonable control, Contractor’s Compensation shall not be adjusted for any change in Transportation and Processing costs associated with use of the alternative Processing Facility. If the need to use the alternative Processing Facility results from reasons beyond Contractor’s, or its Subcontractor’s, reasonable control, Authority shall adjust, either up or down, Contractor’s Compensation for changes in Transportation and Processing costs associated with use of the alternative Processing Facility. In the event that a change in the Processing Facility results in increased costs, Authority Contract Manager may identify and direct Contractor to an alternative Processing Facility that results in less cost than the Contractor-identified alternative.
