GPA may, in its discretion, internally adjust and resolve property damage claims that are $5,000.00 or less and do not involve bodily injury. In addition to the Risk

Management Division of the Georgia Department of Administrative Services, GPA has designated GPA Risk Management Office to which any notice of claim is to be delivered or mailed, in compliance with provisions of the Georgia Tort Claims Act (O.C.G.A. 50-21-20 et seq.). Due to document and data retention policies, any such property damage claim should be made within 30 days of the occurrence which caused the alleged damage or the claim may be automatically rejected by GPA. Any property damage claim filed with GPA must be supported by evidence of causation so that GPA may properly investigate the claim. Any claim presented to GPA without supporting evidence may be automatically rejected. GPA does not waive any rights or defenses it may have under law, including but not limited to, sovereign or governmental immunity nor does this Marine Terminal Operator Schedule waive any rights or defenses available to GPA under the Georgia Tort Claims Act (O.C.G.A. § 50-21-26). Further, any property damage claim that is not resolved by GPA which the claimant wishes to pursue, and all other tort claims for damages presented to GPA, must comply with the requirements of the Georgia Tort Claims Act (O.C.G.A. § 50-21-26).

Nothing in this Marine Terminal Operator Schedule shall be construed to waive or preempt any constitutional or statutory provision, requirement, or law that applies to the State of Georgia and its authorities.
