EQUIPMENT RENTAL AGREEMENT

The Barry County Road Commission (BCRC) and the Kent County Road Commission (KCRC) agree to cooperate in the use and rental of a truck mounted bituminous distributor (Distributor). The BCRC will provide a Distributor for use on KCRC roads in accordance with this agreement.

EQUIPMENT PROVIDED ~ The BCRC owned Distributor will consist of a fully operational distributor tank of 2,500 gallon capacity or greater with motorized pump, heater, distributor bar mounted on a truck. The BCRC is solely responsible for all maintenance, repairs, fuel, and insurance for the equipment.

ADVANCE RENTAL PAYMENT ~ The KCRC will pay to the BCRC $30,000.00 (thirty thousand dollars) as an advance payment for rental of a Distributor. This payment is due to the BCRC within 30 (thirty) days of approval by the Boards of both the BCRC and the KCRC.

CHARGES FOR EQUIPMENT ~ The BCRC will keep an accounting of the advance rental payment as a liability due to the KCRC. The balance of the account will be reduced by equipment rental charges for hours that the equipment is used on KCRC roads after 2009 in accordance with the Schedule C Equipment Rental Rates as published annually by the MDOT using a combined rate for equipment classes 12.504 Tandem-Axle truck and 20.203 Distributor tank with a 2,500 minimum capacity. Rental charges shall not include a factor to recover overhead costs or any other costs above the published Schedule C rates. KCRC use of the equipment during 2009 will not reduce the balance of the advance rental payment account but will be billed to the KCRC by the BCRC. Beginning in 2011, should the rental charges applied exceed the balance available in the account, the BCRC will resume billing the KCRC for equipment rental hours. The BCRC will provide the KCRC with an accounting statement of activity for the advance account immediately following any month in which there was activity within the account.

SCHEDULE OF USE ~ For use of the equipment by KCRC during 2009, the BCRC will bill the KCRC and will not affect the balance of the advance rental account. During 2010, the KCRC will not be using the equipment. During 2011 the equipment will be available for use on KCRC roads and the hours of use will be charged against the balance in the advance rental account at the combined Schedule C Rates described herein. Equipment usage schedules after 2011 will be determined by the BCRC.

TERMINATION ~ This agreement shall be terminated by either the complete depletion of the advance, or after 2010 by written notice by either party to the other within 30 days such notice. Upon the termination of this agreement, any balance remaining shall be returned to the KCRC within 30 (thirty) days of the termination.
