If the Contractor does not respond in the time frames listed below under “Trouble Calls,” the following month’s billing will be credited in the amount of $500 for each extended trouble call.

If during 30 consecutive days the COR experiences three (3) call backs on the same unit for the same problem, the monthly maintenance cost of that unit will be credited to the next monthly billing.

No penalty shall be assessed under A, or C, if damage is caused by vandalism or any other causes except normal wear and tear.

3.3. Hours of Work

All normal work under this contract is to be performed during regular working days of the elevator trade. Removal of elevators from service shall be coordinated with and approved by the COR, Support Services, or their representative.
