| | | | | | | | Summary Statement:
| The City of Waterloo previously entered into an agreement with the Department of Justice to address noncompliance issues of existing bus benches with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the City previously took action to amend the Code of Ordinance regarding bus benches, laying the groundwork for the termination of the program as the City of Waterloo will establish new bus benches that will be ADA compliant. This agreement embodies the terms on which the Operator's participation will be concluded in the City's bus bench program, providing for up to 25 benches (list is attached to the agreement) to remain in place until May 1, 2018. Operator will be responsible for all maintenance, including snow removal of these 25 benches, and will be responsible for removal of these 25 benches. All remaining benches will be removed by the City of Waterloo, and Operator agrees to pay the City of Waterloo $5,000 (in three payments) to offset costs for the City to remove and dispose of the benches. |
