Individual loads will vary and the ratio will also vary <br /> 14 seasonally. <br /> 15 The Authority pays Contractor and the Disposal Facility operator on a per Ton basis and <br /> 16 relies on the Gate Fees to contribute revenues to payments due Contractor. Therefore, <br /> 17 it is important that Contractor accurately measure loads of Self-Haul Waste since under <br /> 18 measurements will result in under collection of Gate Fees. <br /> 19 On an annual basis, the Authority will calculate the amount of Tons of Self-Haul Waste <br /> 20 delivered to the Transfer Station through the mass balance formula shown on <br /> 21 Attachment 14. That tonnage will be converted to cubic yards using the 2.76 to 1 ratio. <br /> 22 The Authority will then compare the total Gate Fees collected and remitted by Contractor <br /> 23 to the expected Gate Fee revenue, using the formula shown on Attachment 14. If that <br /> 24 calculation shows that Contractor collected less Gate Fee revenue than indicated, it will <br /> 25 pay the difference to the Authority, as provided in Section 8.08. <br /> 26 7.11 ADJUSTMENTS FOR SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES <br /> 27 A. The Contractor may apply to the Authority for an adjustment to one or more of the <br /> 28 fees provided for in Section 7.03, and the Authority may initiate such a review, if any <br /> 29 of the following events occur, provided that the event wilt increase or decrease <br /> 30 Contractor's component costs of operation by an amount that is two percent (2%) or <br /> 31 more of the total fees earned under Section 7.03 during the immediately preceding <br /> 32 Rate Year and provided further that the costs will not be otherwise recovered through <br /> 33 the per ton and per ton mile fees provided in Section 7.03: <br /> 34 (1) A flood, earthquake, other acts of nature or other similar catastrophic events <br /> 35 outside the control of Contractor that physically damage the Shoreway Center. <br /> 36 (2) A change in law occurring after the Effective Date that requires a change in <br /> 3'7 operations. <br /> 3g (3) A community emergency which requires Contractor to provide increased or <br /> 39 different services. <br /> 40 (4) The annual average Single Family Targeted Recyclable Materials contamination <br /> 41 level exceeds ten percent (10%) for two consecutive years or more. The annual <br /> 42 average Single Family Targeted Recyclable Materials contamination level will be <br /> 43 calculated on the basis of the arithmetic average of the measured contamination <br /> Operating Agreementfor Shoreway Center <br /> Page - 28 - 7/3oio9 <br />
