[Ord. No. 2015-36 §1, 4-13-2015]
Trenton Municipal Utilities may occasionally supply manpower
and equipment on projects not directly related to the operations of
the City of Trenton or Trenton Municipal Utilities. Prior to providing
any assistance, the entity requesting the assistance shall submit
a request to the City Administrator that outlines the assistance requested.
[Ord. No. 2015-36 §1, 4-13-2015]
A. Requests for assistance should be submitted to the City Administrator
at least two (2) business days prior to the work being contemplated.
All requests for assistance must contain at least the following information
to be considered:
1.
The name or the organization seeking assistance, whether such
entity is for profit, the name of the contact person and phone number
for such person;
2.
A description of the project and assistance being requested,
estimated duration of assistance and schedule and frequency of the
assistance being sought; and
3.
Verification that the organization seeking assistance has attempted
to have the work completed without the assistance of the City of Trenton
and is unable to obtain the services so needed. This verification
should include a brief detail of the reasons why others were unable
to provide the services requested.
[Ord. No. 2015-36 §1, 4-13-2015]
All requests are subject to the availability of the equipment
and/or manpower such that the assistance is not expected to be detrimental
to the operations of Trenton Municipal Utilities. The City of Trenton
reserves the right to decline any request submitted for any reason.
The City Administrator has the authority to grant such requests.
[Ord. No. 2015-36 §1, 4-13-2015]
A. Billing for assistance provided pursuant to this Chapter shall be
as follows:
1.
All for-profit entities will be subject to be invoiced for the
work completed unless the City Administrator or City Council waives
some or all of the charges if the work is determined to be a viable
community service that provides a benefit to the community.
2.
Not-for-profit entities will not be billed for labor or equipment
costs incurred within normal operating hours unless the level of assistance
being requested is above and beyond what the City Administrator and/or
City Council considers acceptable. All additional work will be subject
to billing.
3.
All labor costs, if any are billed, will be invoiced at the
actual salary of the employee plus fifty percent (50%) to cover overhead
costs.
4.
If the work is to be completed outside the normal working hours
of the City of Trenton, the costs of labor, including overtime, will
be billed to the organization requesting the assistance.

the rates utilized for equipment at the time of service. These rates
are available in advance if so requested.
