Questions and Answers

1. The user discussed them removing the foldaway bleachers and that the limits of the flooring demo and put back would stop flush with the front face of where the fold away bleachers currently sit.

STANDARD COMMERCIAL WARRANTY

The Contractor shall extend to the Government the full coverage of any standard commercial warranty normally offered in a similar commercial sale, provided such warranty is available at no additional cost to the Government. Acceptance of the standard commercial warranty does not waive the Government’s rights under the “Inspection” clause nor does it limit the Government’s rights with regard to other terms and conditions of this contract. In the event of a conflict, the terms and conditions of the contract shall take precedence over the standard commercial warranty. The standard commercial warranty period shall begin upon final acceptance of the applicable material and/or services listed in the Schedule.
