3.5 MINOR REPAIRS IDENTIFIED DURING EXECUTION OF ITM SCOPE

It is intent of this Scope of Services for the contractor to dispatch technical staff to perform the ITM work with the capability of performing minor repairs, adjustments, or component replacements on sprinkler and alarm systems in conjunction with the ITM work. This includes adequate consideration of the technical expertise of ITM staff plus adequate consideration of dispatching the ITM staff with commonly needed components and parts for the park’s alarm and sprinkler systems.

On occasion, while performing the ITM work, systems will be encountered for which minor repair or adjustment is necessary.

Any repair work undertaken must be authorized in advance by the Contracting Officer. The NPS field technical staff, requisitioning staff, and the Contracting Officer will attempt to make such authorization quickly as soon as a deficiency that is outside of this Scope of Services is identified.

If authorization by the CO cannot be obtained in time to perform the additional minor repair during the

ITM field work, contractor shall include the deficiency in the appropriate cost estimate.
