The Contractor shall ensure that a stock of two months supply of consumables is available at all times and placed in the location designated by the COR. Each Key Operator will coordinate delivery of supplies to machines and users.

B. Maintenance

Preventive Maintenance - The Contractor shall provide preventive maintenance service calls to ensure that copiers are maintained in good working condition. Maintenance calls shall be at intervals which meet commercial standards, but not less than twice per year. These calls shall be made during normal business hours (See Section 1).

Response To Service Calls - The Contractor shall respond to oral service calls placed by the Key

Operator for the copier requiring service, within twenty-four (24) hours of notification during normal

Embassy working hours. The response time on service calls shall commence when the Key Operator contacts the Contractor. In cases where a copier cannot be repaired within forty- eight (48) hours, the

Contractor shall provide a replacement machine of equal or greater capabilities. Replacement machines shall remain in use until the original machine is repaired or permanently replaced. Copies made on a replacement machine will be taken into account for copy commitment purposes. If a replacement machine is for a higher volume band, the cost-per-copy price for the original machine will apply.

C. Operational Requirements

Equipment Demonstrations - During installation of copiers, the Contractor must demonstrate to the Key

Operator that copiers are in proper operating condition. Following successful demonstration, the

Contractor shall schedule a session to instruct authorized users on operating instructions and service call procedures.

Introduction of New Models - The Contractor is requested to introduce new or improved model copiers at any time for models initially supplied under this contract. The Contractor shall propose such replacements in writing to the Contracting Officer for review. Replacements shall be of equal or greater capability as the model to be replaced. If they are acceptable, the Contracting

Officer shall accept new models and will be appropriately modified, followed by any necessary modification of existing task order(s) or issuance of a new task order(s).

Operator Training - The Contractor shall provide training for Key Operators on site at the time of initial installation, at a mutually agreeable time. At time of training, the Contractor will provide key codes on machines shared by multiple agencies and reported to the Contracting Officer.

Machine Movements

The Contractor is responsible for all machine movements. The Contractor shall coordinate deliveries, installations, and removals at the end of the contract period or when a machine is no longer required.

Requests for Consumables

The Key Operator will place orders with the Contractor for consumables excluding paper. Orders may be placed by phone or fax. The Contractor shall deliver the consumables within six working days of order placement, to either the Key Operator or Embassy Warehouse, as requested by the Key

Operator.

D. Changes in Copier Requirements

The number of copiers in use may change at any time. The Contracting Officer is the only person authorized to increase and decrease the number of machines. Changes are made in the form of a task order or task order modification. The contractor shall place in service new and additional copiers as requested at a copy rate equal to similarly sized machines within volume bands shown in Section 1.

For copiers added during any contract year, the respective contract year rate will apply.

Discontinuance of Service – If the Contracting Officer requests removal, change, or the addition of any copier site by task order or task order modification, the Contractor shall take action within thirty (30) days of receipt of that task order or task order modification. There will be no charge associated with removal, movement or addition of copiers except for adjustments to copier rates as a result of machine location or size changes.

Replacement Copiers - The COR may request a newly manufactured replacement copier at any time in the event of machine breakdown or malfunction resulting in downtime of more than sixteen (16) hours per month. The Contractor shall provide a replacement machine of equal or greater capabilities to assure that offices go no longer than forty-eight (48) hours without copier facilities. Upon delivery of a replacement machine, the Contractor shall advise the COR, (with a copy to the Contracting Officer) of the serial number, location, and model number. If a replacement machine is for a higher volume band, the cost-per-copy price for the original machine will continue to apply. The Contractor is solely responsible for maintaining copiers in good condition.

E. Contractor's Reports

The Contractor shall maintain an inventory of equipment delivered under this contract. At time of monthly invoicing the Contractor shall provide the Key Operator, with a copy to the COR:

(1) Make and model

(2) Location and serial number of machine

(3) Record of repairs and maintenance performed

(4) Monthly volume of copies made by machine

(5) Total cost for copying services for month

F. Machine Usage

The Government will make every effort to ensure that copiers put in place are selected based on volume of copies produced and minimum features required. If the Contractor becomes aware of any particular site where a copier is regularly being over used or under used, the Contractor may recommend replacing that machine with one more appropriate. If the Contracting Officer determines corrective action is appropriate, the Contracting Officer will outline the changes in writing through a modification to the contract or task order.

G. Key Operators

(1) The COR will provide the Contractor a list of Key Operator(s) for each copier which is installed, not later than the date on which the copier is installed. The COR will update this list as necessary.

(2) The Key Operator will be the Contractor’s first point of contact on issues relating to individual copies, except for initial copier installation, for which the COR shall be the first point of contact. If there is an issue that cannot be resolved at the Key Operator level, the Contractor shall elevate the issue to the

COR for resolution.

H. QUALITY ASSURANCE AND SURVEILLANCE PLAN (QASP)

This plan provides an effective method to promote satisfactory contractor performance. The

QASP provides a method for the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) to monitor

Contractor performance, advise the Contractor of unsatisfactory performance, and notify the

Contracting Officer of continued unsatisfactory performance. The Contractor, not the

Government, is responsible for management and quality control to meet the terms of the contract.

The role of the Government is to monitor quality to ensure that contract standards are achieved.
