Government will be present during delivery and will install equipment. If needed, the government will supply a standard loading dock to accept delivery of the unit. The government will supply a location with suitable instrument requirements (space, electricity) as needed to operate the instrument. Equipment will be delivered to 1815 North University Street, Peoria, Illinois. Given CoVid restrictions, additional requirements will be in place for entrance to the lab. These will be communicated with the equipment supplier. Attempts will be made to ensure that safety is met for all parties and the equipment delivered in a timely manner.
