GENERAL INFORMATION The Contractor shall obtain and pay for any permits, licenses, etc. required in the clean up of lot(s) and shall produce receipts as required by the City. For instance, payment of landfill fees may be required for disposal of rubbish, etc. The Contractor will be required to accomplish clean up of Lot(s) within the allotted time, as per the contract after receiving authorization from the City; however, if the Contractor is awarded a large number of Lots, clean up time may be extended at the option of the City.
