The cost for each ESG report shall be submitted by the Partnership to the City for reimbursement of the actual cost of the report(i.e.,without mark- up or added fees or charges),including supporting documentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the cost of a single report would exceed $1,500 or the total annual costs for ESG reports hereunder would exceed $10,500, the Partnership shall not provide the report unless it receives written authorization from the City Manager to do so. Any ESG report provided shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the third-party report provider. E. Workforce Development.
