Equipment Rental Service

Equipment Rental Services
1. The monthly rental rate shall be based on a calendar month.
2. The weekly rental rate, per item, shall be based on a 5-day, 8-hour day.
3. The daily rental rate shall be based on an 8-hour day.
4. In the event a daily rental becomes a weekly rental, or a weekly rental becomes a monthly rental, the rental shall be rated as the extension occurs, i.e. the rental is for 3 days, yet the equipment is kept for a week, at the end of the week, the records are changed to reflect the weekly rental rate, so that the rental rate is always the exact rate of rental. If a rental, by the day or weekly, exceeds the 8-hour per day period, the daily rental rate divided by 8 will get the hourly rental rate to be added.
5. Rental rates shall be pro-rated based on the actual rental commencement date.
6. For equipment picked up at a rental facility, rental starts when equipment leaves yard and ends when the equipment is returned to rental facility.
7. For equipment being delivered to a job location, the rental period begins at the time of delivery and ends when the County provides a date when the Contractor shall pick up the equipment. Failure to pick up the equipment, with proper notification, shall not result in an additional charge to the County, nor holds the County responsible for any damages that may occur. Pickup must occur within 24 hours of
notification.

9. Contractors shall be responsible for any repairs relating to the equipment except those proven to be caused by the County.

11. All equipment must be in good working order and clean condition when picked up or delivered. If the equipment is not what the County requested, or not mechanically and/or cosmetically sound, the County has the right to refuse the equipment at the time of delivery or pick-up and shall document the reason in detail at the time of refusal. The documentation of the refusal is to be copied to the County and the Contractor. Any charges incurred due to the rejected delivery will be the full responsibility of the Contractor.
12. Equipment shall come fully fueled and lubricated and be ready for use at the time of pick-up or delivery.
