(A) Written agreement. The franchisee shall execute a written agreement with the city within 30 days of the franchisee’s acceptance of the city’s offer to franchise. If no agreement is executed within that time, then the city’s offer shall expire without further notice required. The city shall proceed to extend an offer to franchise with any other proposer or shall announce the availability of the franchise, whichever, in the city’s sole discretion, the city decides.
(B) Subcontracts. The franchisee may subcontract with others to provide a portion of the service where franchisee does not have the necessary equipment for service. A subcontract shall not relieve the franchisee of total responsibility for providing maintaining service and for compliance with this subchapter. Except where emergency service is provided by a subcontractor, subcontracts shall:
(1) Be in writing;
(2) Be filed with the City Recorder for any service extending more than 90 days;
(3) Provide that the subcontractor shall have no claim or right of action whatsoever against the city; and
(4) Be available upon request to the city and the public.
