Note: In the event of conflict with the State's Standard Terms and Conditions, or other terms, conditions or requirements contained in this ITB, the following provisions will take precedence. In the event of conflict between the installation and workmanship standards in Exhibit 4 and the component manufacturer's installation instructions, the more stringent requirement applies unless the Exhibit 4 requirement would void the manufacturer's warranty, in which case the manufacturer's requirement governs and the Contractor must notify ITD in writing at or before the pre-build meeting.

Where installation is performed by a subcontractor, the Contractor remains solely responsible for compliance with all requirements of this Contract. Approval of a subcontractor by the State or payment for subcontracted work does not relieve the Contractor of any obligation under this Contract.
4.2 All equipment, including standard and supplemental components, must be installed per the manufacturer's specifications and in compliance with the installation and workmanship standards in Exhibit 4, in a manner that promotes ease of maintenance, and must be serviced and ready for continuous operation at the time of delivery.

Manufacturer warranties will remain in effect per their published warranty period.
5.3 Warranty must include all parts, labor, freight and travel to replace a defective warranted item. The Contractor must acknowledge receipt of each warranty claim in writing within three (3) business days after notice from ITD.

Contractor must submit written OEM documentation of the backorder to ITD within five (5) business days after Contractor learns of the backorder. Failure to provide such documentation within the required timeframe may result in denial of the extension at ITD's discretion.
5.4 For any warranty work, the Contractor may elect to authorize a dealer of its choice or authorize ITD to perform the necessary repairs in accordance with the manufacturer's standards. The Contractor must communicate its election in writing to ITD within five (5) business days after acknowledging receipt of the warranty claim under Section 5.3. If the Contractor fails to communicate an election within this period, ITD may proceed with repairs at the Contractor's expense in accordance with the manufacturer's standards, and the Contractor's reimbursement obligations under this Section apply. If the Contractor authorizes ITD to perform any warranty work: 1) it is the responsibility of the Contractor to guarantee that the work is completed in accordance with the manufacturer's standards at the expense of the Contractor, 2) completion of warranty repairs by ITD which are authorized by the Contractor will not adversely affect the warranty, and 3) the Contractor must reimburse ITD for the cost of the warranty repairs (parts, labor, and materials) within sixty (60) calendar days after receipt of ITD's itemized cost statement.

The revised plan may include measures such as partial deliveries, adjusted sequencing, or an extended delivery schedule, and must be designed to minimize disruption to ITD's operations.
8 Installation and Acceptance
8.1. Acceptance of each Truck requires affirmative written notification from ITD to the Contractor. Acceptance will not occur automatically by passage of time. The automatic acceptance provision of Article 2.2.2 of the State Terms and Conditions does not apply to this Contract.

8.4. Where a non-conformity affects more than three (3) Trucks delivered under a single PO, the corrective-action timeframe will be extended to sixty (60) calendar days, or such longer period as mutually agreed in writing, not to exceed ninety (90) calendar days, commensurate with the scope of the correction.
8.5. Latent Defects and Post‑Acceptance Nonconformance. Acceptance under Sections 8.1 through 8.4 does not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for defects, damage, malfunctions, or nonconformities that were not reasonably detectable at the time of delivery, inspection, or acceptance; or that are reasonably determined to have occurred during shipment or transit to ITD.
8.5.1 If ITD identifies any such latent defect or post‑acceptance nonconformance, ITD will provide written notice to the Contractor specifying the issue.
