Pursuant to these agreements, each manager is responsible for the operation of the garages managed by it other than the establishment of the rates and major repairs.

  • The expenses of operations and maintenance of the garages including payments to employees, utilities, insurance and repairs are reimbursed to each manager by the Authority.
  • Each manager is required, with exception of certain recurring charges such as utilities, to obtain prior authorization from the Authority for any expense item in excess of $500.
  • Each manager indemnifies and holds the authority harmless from and against any and all loss, damage and liability for any and all claims for damages on account of or by reason for bodily injury, including death, which may be sustained or claimed to be sustained by any person, including employees of such manager.
