Determination of Responsiveness 28.1 The Procuring Entity's determination of a Tender's responsiveness is to be based on the contents of the Tender itself, as defined in ITT28.2.
Aggravating and Mitigating Factors The penalties in this matter were determined in consideration of all relevant circumstances, including statutory factors as described in CARB’s Enforcement Policy. CARB considered whether the violator came into compliance quickly and cooperated with the investigation; the extent of harm to public health, safety and welfare; nature and persistence of the violation, including the magnitude of the excess emissions; compliance history; preventative efforts taken; innovative nature and the magnitude of the effort required to comply, and the accuracy, reproducibility, and repeatability of the available test methods; efforts to attain, or provide for, compliance prior to violation; action taken to mitigate the violation; financial burden to the violator; and voluntary disclosure. The penalties are set at levels sufficient to deter violations, to remove any economic benefit or unfair advantage from noncompliance, to obtain swift compliance, and the potential costs, risks, and uncertainty associated with litigation. Penalties in future cases might be smaller or larger depending on the unique circumstances of the case.
Sustainability Adjustments (a) DEI may deliver a Pricing Certificate to the Administrative Agent in respect of the most recently ended calendar year on any date prior to the date that is 120 days following the last day of such calendar year (the date the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof, each a “Pricing Certificate Date”), which DEI may or may not do, in its sole discretion. If DEI so delivers a Pricing Certificate in respect of a calendar year, (i) the Applicable Percentage for the Revolving Loans incurred by DEI shall be increased or decreased (or neither increased nor decreased), as applicable, pursuant to the Sustainability Margin Adjustment as set forth in the KPI Metrics Certificate delivered with such Pricing Certificate, and (ii) the Applicable Percentage for the Facility Fee for Commitments under the DEI Sublimit shall be increased or decreased (or neither increased nor decreased), as applicable, pursuant to the Sustainability Fee Adjustment as set forth in such KPI Metrics Certificate. If no Pricing Certificate is so delivered in respect of a calendar year, the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Fee Adjustment in respect of such calendar year shall be determined pursuant to Section 1.7(c). For purposes of the foregoing, (A) if a Pricing Certificate is so delivered for any calendar year, the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Fee Adjustment shall be determined as of the fifth Business Day following the Pricing Certificate Date for such Pricing Certificate based upon the KPI Metrics for such calendar year set forth in the KPI Metrics Certificate delivered with such Pricing Certificate and the calculations of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Fee Adjustment in such KPI Metrics Certificate and (B) if no Pricing Certificate is so delivered in respect of such calendar year, the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Fee Adjustment shall be determined pursuant to Section 1.7(c) effective as of the Business Day immediately following the date that is 120 days following the last day of such calendar year (such fifth (5th) Business Day or such Business Day, as applicable, each a “Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date”). Each change in the Applicable Percentages on any Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date shall be effective during the period commencing on and including such Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date and ending on the date immediately preceding the next Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date. (b) For the avoidance of doubt, only one Pricing Certificate (or, in the case of non-delivery of a Pricing Certificate, zero Pricing Certificates) may be delivered in respect of any calendar year. It is further understood and agreed that the Applicable Percentage for Revolving Loans incurred by DEI will never be reduced or increased by more than 0.05% and that the Applicable Percentage for the Facility Fee for Commitments under the DEI Sublimit will never be reduced or increased by more than 0.01%, pursuant to the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Fee Adjustment, respectively, on any Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date. For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment to the Applicable Percentages for such Revolving Loans or such Facility Fee by reason of meeting one or several KPI Metrics in any calendar year shall not be cumulative year-over-year. The adjustments pursuant to this Section made on any Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date shall only apply for the period until the date immediately preceding the next Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date. (c) It is hereby understood and agreed that if no such Pricing Certificate with respect to a calendar year is delivered by DEI within the period set forth in this Section 1.7, the Sustainability Margin Adjustment will be positive 0.05% and the Sustainability Fee Adjustment will be positive 0.01% commencing on the last day of such period and continuing until the day immediately prior to the next Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date. (d) If (i)(A) a Borrower or any Lender becomes aware of any material inaccuracy in the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, the Sustainability Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metrics as reported in a Pricing Certificate (any such material inaccuracy, a “Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy”) and, in the case of any Lender, such Lender delivers, not later than 10 Business Days after obtaining knowledge thereof, a written notice to the Administrative Agent describing such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy in reasonable detail (which description shall be shared with each Lender and the Borrowers), or (B) the Borrowers and the Lenders agree that there was a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy at the time of delivery of a Pricing Certificate, and (ii) a proper calculation of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, Sustainability Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metrics would have resulted in an increase in the Applicable Percentages for the Revolving Loans incurred by DEI and the Facility Fee for Commitments under the DEI Sublimit for any period, the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code (or any comparable event under non-U.S. debtor relief laws), automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), but in any event within 10 Business Days after the Borrowers have received written notice of, or have agreed in writing that there was, a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy, an amount equal to the excess of (1) the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over (2) the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. If a Borrower becomes aware of any Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy and, in connection therewith, if a proper calculation of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, Sustainability Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metrics would have resulted in a decrease in the Applicable Percentages for the Revolving Loans incurred by DEI and the Facility Fee for Commitments under the DEI Sublimit for any period, then, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of notice from the Borrowers of such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy (which notice shall include corrections to the calculations of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, Sustainability Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metrics, as applicable), commencing on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, the Applicable Percentages for the Revolving Loans incurred by DEI and the Facility Fee for Commitments under the DEI Sublimit shall be adjusted to reflect the corrected calculations of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, Sustainability Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metrics, as applicable. (e) It is understood and agreed that any Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default; provided, that, the Borrowers comply with the terms of this Section 1.7 with respect to such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless such amounts shall be due upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to a Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code (or any comparable event under non-U.S. debtor relief laws), (a) any additional amounts required to be paid pursuant the immediate preceding paragraph shall not be due and payable until the date that is 10 Business Days after a written demand is made for such payment by the Administrative Agent in accordance with such paragraph, (b) any nonpayment of such additional amounts prior to or upon such demand for payment by Administrative Agent shall not constitute a Default (whether retroactively or otherwise) and (c) none of such additional amounts shall be deemed overdue prior to the date that is 10 Business Days after such a demand or shall accrue interest at the rate provided in Section 3.1(b) prior to the date that is 10 Business Days after such a demand. (f) Each party hereto hereby agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agent shall have any responsibility for (or liability in respect of) reviewing, auditing or otherwise evaluating any calculation by any Borrower of any Sustainability Margin Adjustment or Sustainability Fee Adjustment (or any of the data or computations that are part of or related to any such calculation) set forth in any Pricing Certificate (and the Administrative Agent and the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry). (g) As soon as available and in any event within 120 days following the end of each calendar year (commencing with the calendar year ending December 31, 2021), a Pricing Certificate for the most recently-ended calendar year may be provided by DEI as set forth in this Section 1.7; provided, that, for any calendar year the Borrowers may elect not to deliver a Pricing Certificate, such election shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default (but such failure to so deliver a Pricing Certificate by the end of such 120-day period shall result in the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and Sustainability Fee Adjustment being applied as set forth in Section 1.7(c). (h) In the event Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries acquire or divest a business, facility or Subsidiary with Capacity in excess of 100MW, the Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Target and the Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Threshold shall be adjusted to account for such acquisition or divestiture such that the Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Target and the Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Threshold remain neutral to such acquisition or disposition in a manner and methodology that are the same as those used in determining the original Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Target and the Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Threshold. The Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a certificate that (i) calculates in reasonable detail such adjusted Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Target and Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Threshold and (ii) restates Exhibit 1.7-1 with such adjusted amounts, and, if Lenders constituting Required Lenders have not objected to such adjusted Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Target and Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Threshold within 5 Business Days of such delivery, then Exhibit 1.7-1 shall be deemed amended to reflect such adjusted Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Target and Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Threshold.
Professional Development; Adverse Consequences of School Exclusion; Student Behavior The Board President or Superintendent, or their designees, will make reasonable efforts to provide ongoing professional development to Board members about the adverse consequences of school exclusion and justice-system involvement, effective classroom management strategies, culturally responsive discipline, appropriate and available supportive services for the promotion of student attendance and engagement, and developmentally appropriate disciplinary methods that promote positive and healthy school climates, i.e., Senate Bill 100 training topics. The Board will conduct periodic self-evaluations with the goal of continuous improvement. New Board Member Orientation The orientation process for newly elected or appointed Board members includes:
Inclement Weather 24.1 This Inclement Weather clause sets out the full rights, obligations and entitlements of the parties and establishes the conditions under which payment for periods of inclement weather shall be made. 24.2 This Inclement Weather clause is to be read and observed in lieu of the provisions of the award and VBIA. 24.3 Definition – inclement weather Inclement weather shall mean the existence of rain or abnormal climatic conditions (whether they be those of hail, snow, cold, high wind, severe dust storm, extreme high temperature or the like or any combination thereof) by virtue of which it is either not reasonable or not safe for employees exposed thereto to continue working whilst the same prevail.
Abnormally High Tenders 36.4 An abnormally high price is one where the tender price, in combination with other constituent elements of the Tender, appears unreasonably too high to the extent that the Procuring Entity is concerned that it (the Procuring Entity) may not be getting value for money or it may be paying too high a price for the contract compared with market prices or that genuine competition between Tenderers is compromised. 36.5 In case of an abnormally high tender price, the Procuring Entity shall make a survey of the market prices, check if the estimated cost of the contract is correct and review the Tender Documents to check if the specifications, scope of work and conditions of contract are contributory to the abnormally high tenders. The Procuring Entity may also seek written clarification from the tenderer on the reason for the high tender price. The Procuring Entity shall proceed as follows: i) If the tender price is abnormally high based on wrong estimated cost of the contract, the Procuring Entity may accept or not accept the tender depending on the Procuring Entity's budget considerations. ii) If specifications, scope of work and/or conditions of contract are contributory to the abnormally high tender prices, the Procuring Entity shall reject all tenders and may retender for the contract based on revised estimates, specifications, scope of work and conditions of contract, as the case may be. 36.6 If the Procuring Entity determines that the Tender Price is abnormally too high because genuine competition between tenderers is compromised (often due to collusion, corruption or other manipulations), the Procuring Entity shall reject all Tenders and shall institute or cause relevant Government Agencies to institute an investigation on the cause of the compromise, before retendering.
Reasonable Suspicion Testing All Employees Performing Safety-Sensitive Functions A. Reasonable suspicion testing for alcohol or controlled substances may be directed by the Employer for any employee performing safety-sensitive functions when there is reason to suspect that alcohol or controlled substance use may be adversely affecting the employee’s job performance or that the employee may present a danger to the physical safety of the employee or another. B. Specific objective grounds must be stated in writing that support the reasonable suspicion. Examples of specific objective grounds include but are not limited to: 1.
