Summary
This is a Warranties and Bonds specification section for ITB No. 27-402/DL, addressing the removal and replacement of telemetry cabinets for an existing SCADA system in Florida through a series of phased projects. The contract requires a licensed Florida General or Electrical Contractor to replace thirty-three (33) telemetry cabinets and provide all associated labor, materials, equipment, and incidentals. The initial contract term is three (3) years with an option for renewal for an additional one (1) year at the Authority's discretion. The specification establishes comprehensive warranty and bonding requirements including manufacturer's standard product warranties, special project-specific warranties covering control panel fabrication and integrated systems, and Performance, Payment, and Maintenance/Warranty Bonds equal to 100% of the panel fabrication contract value. All warranty and bond documents must be submitted in a bound 8.5" x 11" format with a tabbed index within ten (10) days following successful Factory Acceptance Testing but prior to final shipment and payment application.
The specification mandates a two-year systemic integration warranty from the date of Substantial Completion covering the entire assembled telemetry cabinets, with all critical electronic components carrying full manufacturer's warranties registered to the Owner. The Contractor must provide warranty extensions if storage or testing consumes any portion of the manufacturer's standard warranty period. Warranty claim response protocols require acknowledgment within twenty-four (24) hours of notification and qualified technician availability within forty-eight (48) hours for critical control system faults. When critical components are replaced during the warranty period, the warranty for that specific item is reinstated for an additional one (1) year from commissioning. Environmental protection during storage at 0°C to 50°C with non-condensing humidity and space heater energization for outdoor-rated enclosures are required to maintain hardware warranty validity. Bid security in the form of a surety bond or cashier's check equal to at least five percent (5%) of the total bid amount is required, with electronic submission through Bonfire by the specified date and time.

A. If manufactured Telemetry Cabinets are stored at the factory, fabricator's facility, or job site prior to field deployment, they must be housed in a climate-controlled environment conforming strictly to the environmental tolerances of the internal electronic components (typically 0°C to 50°C, non-condensing humidity).
B. Space heaters installed within outdoor-rated enclosures must be energized immediately upon field placement to prevent condensation from invalidating the hardware warranties.
