Mr. Nelson Fialho/Mr. David Haglund Page 22 Preliminary Issues Assessment of Potential Colocation of Maintenance Facilities liability and workers’ compensation insurance. The agreement also delegates responsibility for maintaining Robertson Park Road to LARPD. The agreement stipulates that the City will bill LARPD for 38% of the cost of the following: • Interior and exterior building maintenance; • Pavement, irrigation, fence/gates, trash disposal, fuel dispensing system; • Utilities; • Janitorial services; • Fire extinguisher maintenance; • Property insurance; • Employee parking lot maintenance; and • Warehouse and storage area maintenance. The agreement also calls for LARPD to pay 50% of the following City costs: 1. Building and perimeter security, and 2. Maintenance of public parking area. The City is obligated to reimburse LARPD for 62% of the cost of landscape maintenance.
