available. If ENGINEER is unable to diagnose and repair the problem remotely, ENGINEER
will, at CITY's option, travel to the site within 24 hours of the initial call to provide onsite
assistance.
Each CITY request for planned or emergency support will result in a minimum assessment of
one hour towards the total invoiced amount. Each onsite visit by ENGINEER personnel will
result in a minimum assessment of four hours towards the total invoiced amount. The amount of
time utilized for onsite support services shall include travel time to and from the facility.
