30. 4 Liquidated Damages. The parties further acknowledge that consistent and reliable collection service is of utmost importance to City and that City has considered and relied on Contractor' s representations as to its quality of service commitment in awarding the Agreement to it. The parties further recognize that some quantified standards of performance are necessary and appropriate to ensure consistent and reliable service and performance. The parties further recognize that if Contractor fails to achieve the performance standards, or fails to submit required documents in a timely manner, City, and City' s residents and businesses will suffer damages and that it is and will be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain and determine the exact amount of damages. Therefore, in addition to City' s right to treat such non- performance as a breach of this Agreement, the parties agree that the liquidated damages amount defined in this Section may represent reasonable estimates of the amount of such damages considering all of the circumstances existing on the effective date of this Agreement, including the relationship of the sums to the range of harm to City, customers and the community as a whole that reasonably could be anticipated and the anticipation that proof of actual damages would be costly or impractical. In placing their initials at the places provided, each party specifically confirms the accuracy of the statements made above and the fact that each party has had ample opportunity to consult with legal counsel and obtain an explanation of the liquidated damage provisions at the time that the Agreement was made.
30. 5 Procedure for Review of Liquidated Damages.

At the end of each month during the term of this Agreement, the City Representative shall issue a written notice to Contractor (" Notice of Assessment") of the liquidated damages assessed and the basis for each assessment.
30. 5. 1 The assessment shall become final unless, within ten ( 10) calendar days of the date of the notice of assessment, Contractor provides a written request for a meeting with the City Manager to present evidence that the assessment should not be made.
30. 5. 2 The City Representative shall schedule a meeting between Contractor and the City Manager or the Manager' s designee as soon as reasonably possible after timely receipt of Contractor' s request.
30. 5. 3 The City Manager or the Manager' s designee shall review Contractor' s evidence and render a decision sustaining or reversing the liquidated damages as soon as reasonably possible after the meeting. Written notice of the decision shall be provided to Contractor.
