About this file

Exhibit C details a Level 1 Scheduled Maintenance specification for standby power systems for Gregg County, outlining comprehensive preventive maintenance procedures for generator equipment. The document provides a detailed checklist covering multiple system components including cooling systems, fuel systems, air induction, exhaust systems, lubrication, starting systems, engine monitors, safety controls, and generator components. The maintenance plan requires the contractor to perform thorough visual inspections, operational checks, and specific maintenance tasks such as oil analysis, filter replacements, battery testing, and obtaining written permission from Gregg County for additional repairs.

The maintenance contract includes provisions for reimbursement of parts and materials at cost, with separate invoicing for fuel top-off services at the contractor's prevailing labor rates. The contractor must provide a checklist of completed items for each preventive maintenance (PM) visit and perform additional specialized tasks like checking radiator caps, draining water separators, applying corrosion protection to battery terminals, and conducting functional testing of the Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS). The specification emphasizes detailed documentation, systematic inspection of all critical generator system components, and a collaborative approach with Gregg County for managing maintenance and potential repair needs.
