What must the Contractor do regarding City materials upon program acceptance?

The requirement for the Contractor to return all materials provided by the City upon program acceptance is grounded in the principle of accountability and proper stewardship of public resources. When the City supplies materials, these are often intended for specific projects and initiatives and remain the property of the City.

Returning these materials ensures that they can be reused or redistributed as necessary, contributing to efficiency and sustainability in managing city resources. This requirement also helps prevent any potential misuse or loss of materials that were provided for a defined purpose, aligning with the standards of transparency and accountability expected from contractors engaged with city projects.

The other options involve actions that either imply retention or destruction of City materials, which could lead to waste or misallocation of public assets, contrary to proper administrative protocols.
