This policy is enacted for the benefit and convenience of the public and the Oak Lawn Fire Department. It is designed for equitability among licensed contracts of participating board-up services and to minimize complaints made to the Oak Lawn Fire Department by business and property owners. The emergency board-up and/or otherwise securing of properties shall be provided pursuant to the terms and conditions of an agreement to be entered into by the Oak Lawn Fire Department and any licensed contractors subject to this policy. The Fire Department may enter into multiple such agreements. The purpose of this policy, with respect to such services, is to incorporate licensed contractors into the rotational duty list to establish an equitable means of distributing such calls for service. Such calls shall be assigned under this policy only to contractors who are insured and bonded within the state and have a Village of Oak Lawn and County of Cook business license currently on file with the Fire Department and/ or Building Department. Contractors shall be required to provide such services in order to participate in the rotational duty assignments. Except where inconsistent with the terms of any agreement between the Village and a licensed contractor, all terms and conditions of this policy shall apply to such services. The rotational list and request of licensed contractors is governed by the provisions of the policy. In the event of conflict, this policy shall be subordinate to any contradictory federal, state or local legislation. This policy shall be amended in the event of applicable changes in federal, state or local legislation. All licensed contractors desiring to participate in this rotational duty assignment list must agree to comply with the conditions in this policy
