A. The Contractor agrees that it will transport Students (as hereinafter defined) to and from any school identified in this Contract, or any other school or other facility designated by the District in accordance with this Contract, and requested by the District (all, collectively, the “Schools” and each, individually, a “School”) in accordance with such conditions (e.g., times, routes, and stops) approved by the District. B. The transportation routes to the Schools are to be developed by the Contractor and are subject to District approval. The merging of students from other school districts (“ride sharing”) on a route is subject to District prior approval. The Contractor shall provide the District with detailed route data in a timely fashion including but not limited to: vehicle description; vehicle number; route description and times; mileage; driver and aide details as required by the District and the State. C. Any transportation route may be suspended or terminated without penalty incurred by the City/District/Board where caused by illness, relocation or graduation, conflicts with other students, or determinations of need as solely determined by the District. D. Due to certain student requirements, any route may be cancelled or delayed with 24 hours’ notice to the Contractor, without costs incurred to the District. Cancellations may be made by the District due to weather conditions or other circumstances beyond its control, without penalty. E. Contractor is required to notify the District within twenty four (24) hours if a student who is scheduled to be transported fails to appear for transportation services or does not require transportation services for any reason. The District has the sole right to determine if the Contractor should continue to attempt to transport the student. The District does not assume responsibility for payment to the Contractor, if notification is not provided to the District. F. The Board will, at the daily rate set forth herein (the “Daily Rate”), pay for any Transportation Services hereunder actually performed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Contract by the Contractor. No payment will be made to the Contractor for services not required or not rendered, including any circumstances in which the District determines that transportation services are not required, either temporarily or permanently.
