E. Service Requests

The Contractor will provide all repair and installation services in response to specific service requests made by the County Representative or designees of this representative. Service requests may be submitted by telephone, e-mail, or facsimile.

As described in more detail below, service request work exceeding $1,000 and special installation/replacement projects must be documented by the Contractor’s written proposals and the associated written authorizations of the County.

F. Availability and Response Time

The Contractor shall be available on a 24 hour/7day a week basis to respond to service requests and/or perform authorized work. The Contractor shall respond to all service requests in a timely manner. The County Representative will indicate if a service request is an emergency that needs prompt attention. In emergency situations the Contractor is expected to respond on site within three (3) hours. Standard service requests and special projects will be scheduled at times convenient for the County and Contractor, but typically the Contractor will be expected to start within two (2) days of the receipt of the service request or written authorization as applicable. Response time is a critical requirement of the Agreement, and the Contractor’s failure to adhere to this requirement may be considered non-performance.

G. Normal Business Hours/Overtime Rates

Normal business hours are defined as 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday, excluding County and Contractor’s holidays. The Contractor shall charge basic hourly rates for all work or services during normal business hours. The Contractor may charge overtime rates for all work or services outside of these normal business hours.

H. Basis of Compensation

Compensation to the Contractor for service request responses will be based on the hourly labor rates provided in the Bid for the Agreement, the actual cost of equipment, materials and parts plus a percentage markup indicated in the same Bid (but not to exceed 10%), and a fixed trip charge when applicable. Hours shall be calculated daily from the time the Contractor’s personnel arrives at a service location until that personnel leaves the site. Travel time to and from the location will not be compensated, and travel time away from the service location will not be compensated on an hourly basis.

However, one service call charge of a fixed amount may be added to a service request to cover all travel time, including time away from the service site to pick up parts or materials. Overtime labor rates may be charged for time outside of the normal business hours as specified in the Bid. Emergency labor rates may be charged for services provided on an emergency basis. Equipment, materials, and parts must be itemized and billed at actual cost plus the pre-determined markup. The Contractor also agrees that it will provide documentation of costs for parts and materials upon request of the County. Subcontractor services, when authorized by the County, shall be billed at cost plus the same mark-up utilized for parts and materials. Sub-contractor costs must be documented.

I. Limitation on Utilization of Personnel

The Contractor will typically be expected to utilize one technician for a routine service call. If the Contractor anticipates

BL127-21 PAGE 16

using more than one technician for the service, it shall obtain prior approval from the County Representative prior to committing to the use of the additional staff. The County will withhold payment for any invoice reflecting multiple staff, where this support did not have prior approval. Staff utilization on larger scale services with written authorization from the County shall reflect the staffing levels in the Contractor’s approved proposal.

J. Services in Excess of $1,000.00

If the Contractor expects a service to exceed $1,000.00, the Contractor shall contact the County Representative prior to initiating the service and shall provide a written estimate of the costs. This estimate shall include a detailed listing of expected labor costs by personnel classification, rate, and hours; an itemized description of required equipment and parts and their costs; and a schedule for when the work can be performed. This estimate must be approved in writing by the County Representative and the written authorization must be retained and submitted by the Contractor to the County with the final Contractor Service Report.

K. Special Installation/Replacement Projects

The County may on occasion require that the Contractor participate in projects involving the expansion of existing fire alarm systems and the installation of new fire alarm systems utilizing the types of equipment described within this procurement. In such cases, the County Representative will provide a scope of services for said project and solicit a written cost proposal and schedule from the Contractor. The Contractor shall prepare its proposal based on the unit costs and other terms of the Agreement. The County has no projection of the number and magnitude of such project level work, and will solicit such work from the Contractor only if it is in its best interest in terms of cost, schedule, and convenience.

L. Sub-Contractors

The Contractor shall be prepared to perform all of the services called for under this Agreement with its own forces, and its Bid should reflect this approach. Nevertheless, the County, on occasion, may require the Contractor to utilize specialty sub-contractors when the Contractor does not have the in-house expertise. In such cases, the County Representative shall approve such sub-contractors before they are utilized. Sub-contractor expenses shall be billed as “reimbursables” at the documented actual costs plus the Contractor’s pre-determined mark-up for parts/materials.

M. County Representative

In administration of the services under this Price Agreement, the County will be represented by its Department of Support Services/Facilities Management Electrical Supervisor, who is referenced as the County Representative. The role and primary responsibilities of the County Representative are noted in other paragraphs through descriptions of his relationship to the Contractor. The County Representative may designate other personnel to provide the service directions or decisions described herein.
