Marble Falls, TX 78654

WARRANTY

The contractor will provide a minimum twelve (12) month warranty on all work. Major components and sub-assemblies shall be warrantied through their respective manufacturers. In the event a defect in installation workmanship is discovered following delivery of a vehicle at its destination, the contractor shall itself, or sub-contract with a company in that geographic area, to make repairs and shall assume financial responsibility for all costs related to the repair.

SCOPE OF WORK

UP- FITTING

The installation of aftermarket equipment is to be in compliance with the manufacturer instructions for the item to be installed.

The vendor will install all emergency vehicle equipment in a consistent standardized manner.

The vendor will ensure every vehicle is identical in that each component included in the upfitting is the same throughout all vehicles, to include the routes in which the wiring is laid throughout the interior of the vehicle. The wiring must include weatherproof protective sheathing in areas which may subject the wire to outside elements, in areas that are crimped, and/or areas that wear may cause failure of the equipment to which it is connected, and potentially damage to the vehicle.

The wiring standard for FWS vehicles must account for all butt connectors and solder point be shrink wrapped at the connection points. When installing equipment and wiring the vehicles, the vendor shall ensure that performance and workmanship will minimize risk of electrical failure, mechanical failure, and/or fire due to changes made by the vendor.

The vendor will leave a basic wiring and fuse box diagram for any installed or upgrades to the

OEM fuse box, in the glove box of the completed vehicle.

The installed equipment must be able to sustain extremes in vibration, climate, and conditions, from extreme cold, snow-covered highways, to extreme hot, dusty wash-boarded gravel roads, to off-road use.

When selecting mounting location for lights or accessories on or in the vehicle, resale consideration should be factored in, with no holes drilled into the exterior of the vehicles body, and minimal holes drilled within the interior.

Ideally, additional lights and/or accessories are to be mounted (holes) in less conspicuous locations or on aftermarket hardware.

All original equipment removed from the vehicle is to be returned with the vehicle at time of delivery.
