These repairs include but are not limited to defective detectors, pull stations, batteries, sprinkler heads, gauges, individual modules, or other minor items. A minor repair is defined as any repair of $500 or less. To avoid confusion and to highlight the meaning of "minor repair", the following illustrative example is provided. For example, if a building has 50 sprinkler heads, and three (3) need to be replaced, then the contractor would be responsible to repair all three (3) assuming each sprinkler head repair was $500 or less. Each sprinkler head in the forgoing example is one single, independent minor repair. This example should be used for any other "minor repairs" and its interpretation should be broadly read in the government's favor.

As noted above, the contractor shall at no additional cost to the Government make minor repairs as defined because those repairs are already built into the contractor's pricing. In other words, these minor repairs are not being performed for "free" but rather are part of the contractor's pricing as supplied and relied upon by the Government.

• Other minor items necessary to ensure system functionality and compliance.

5.10.9 Significant Repairs. The Contractor shall submit a proposal to make major repairs and/or replacements to system components found to be defective during any contract inspection that exceed $500.00 for parts and labor. These repairs include but are not limited to fire alarm control panels, power supplies, relay control switches, transmitter devices, and system rewiring. The proposal shall be submitted to the government within five (5) business days of the defect being identified.
