G. Repair and Maintenance of Vehicles. The Franchisee shall be responsible for all mechanical and service inspections and repairs of all Vehicles in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, ordinances or regulations, including without limitation, NCDOT vehicle maintenance requirements and any North Carolina Office of Emergency Services ("OEMS") requirements. The Franchisee shall schedule regular Vehicle preventative maintenance and repairs with all non- warranty costs to be paid for by the Franchisee. The County and Franchisee shall perform a joint transition fleet inspection prior to Franchisee's assumption of any Vehicle leases, resulting in the practice that the County shall either: (a) provide the Vehicle in an initial condition such that it meets or exceeds the NC Safety Inspection requirements; or (b) negotiate with the Franchisee to repair the deficiencies identified during the inspection at the County's expense. (c) A similar joint inspection shall be performed thirty days prior to the end of this Agreement. The Franchisee shall be given the opportunity to repair any deficiencies identified on the Vehicles at that time. The County reserves the fight to withhold some or all of the Franchisee's final payment until such time as the Vehicles are determined to be in acceptable condition per the criteria set forth in this Agreement or until a suitable amount is negotiated to cover any needed repairs. (d) The County and Franchisee will mutually agree on the need for any future Vehicles. (e) The County shall provide a two-way radio system including mobile radios for each Vehicle, a base station, and hand-held radios. The County will transfer all existing System equipment currently in the Vehicles to the Franchisee including on-board emergency equipment, Vehicle maintenance records, and other operational equipment and records as may be available, as part of the leased Vehicle. Franchisee shall be responsible for all maintenance of such equipment. (f) It is understood and agreed that all Vehicles are the property of the County and may, in extenuating circumstances, be used by multiple departments with prior approval of the appropriate County officials. Such County use is covered under the County and departmental insurance and no liability will result to the Franchisee unless related to improper maintenance. H. Insurance. Franchisee shall obtain, at its sole expense, all insurance required under any applicable North Carolina law, including without limitation, NCDOT, 0EMS, and any state, local or federal regulation, rule or ordinance requirements, including without limitation, the specific requirements of any applicable County ordinance. Franchisee shall not commence transporting until such insurance is in effect. Franchisee shall name the County as "additional insured", and as "additional insured and co-loss payee" with respect to the Vehicles and equipment during the life of this Agreement.
