Summary

The Contractor shall provide all necessary labor, transportation, equipment and supervision required to perform inspection, maintenance, repair and component replacement as required to maintain all copiers listed under Attachment 2 at optimal performance level. Repair and maintenance services shall be in accordance with manufacturers specifications. Services also shall include a full time on-site service engineer as back-up maintenance and supervisory assistance for all copiers covered under this contract at no additional cost to the U.S.

Government. Maintenance and repair services shall be performed in accordance with Xerox's world-wide maintenance and repair program (which includes all spare parts necessary for repair, consumables, except paper, with exception of repairs for repeated mishandling of equipment and damage due to lack of adequate voltage stabilizer protection of equipment). The full-time on-site service engineer must be trained in the repair and maintenance of all copiers listed in attachment 2 under RODUCT heading. In the event that a new product copier is purchased by the Government, the Contractor shall as soon as practical, schedule the full-time on-site service engineer for the training on the new product.

Maintenance and Repair Records The Contractor's full-time on-site service engineer shall establish a maintenance record card for each copier covered under this contract. This card shall include the serial number, Embassy inventory (NEPA) number, location of copier, service record, replacement parts and other pertinent information as required by the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) for this contract.

Repair Referral The full-time on-site service engineer shall report immediately to the COR any problems beyond his ability to repair and will notify the COR of any machine that is not suitable for use in an office due to the following factors, and will follow-up with recommendation:

1. Capacity of machine: According to repair records, copier does not have sufficient capacity for the average number of monthly copies.

2. Abuse of copier: According to maintenance records, copiers are suffering an unusual number of repairs due to mishandling by operators.

3. Location of Copier: Location is not suitable due to dust, moisture, etc.

4. Age of copier: Copier is obsolete and continued usage is not economical or efficient due to frequent repairs and non-availability of spare parts.

Consumables The Contractor shall maintain an adequate supply of consumables (exclusive of paper), such as a toner, required to keep all copiers in good operating condition during the duration of this contract at no additional cost to the Government. The full-time on-site service engineer shall be solely responsible for all supplies kept at the American Embassy.

Working Hours

American Embassy Cairo, Egypt Page 27 of 71

The full-time on-site service engineer(s) shall be present at the Embassy between the hours of 9:00 AM through 4:00 PM, Sunday through Thursday, except on holidays.

Record of Copiers Space inspection: The full-time on-site service engineer shall inspect all copiers which have been relocated to ensure their sufficient operation. In the event that a copier has been damaged during a move or relocation, the full-time on-site service engineer shall be responsible for notifying the COR in writing detailing actual damage.

Inventory of Copiers under Maintenance Contract The full-time on-site service engineer shall coordinate with the COR to ensure that any changes to the list of copiers under this contract are acknowledged and documented, and both shall notify the Contracting Officer. On a quarterly basis, the full-time on-site service engineer shall provide the COR with an up-to-date list of copiers and their locations as determined by the maintenance card of each machine.

Spare Parts The Contractor is responsible for ensuring that spare parts for all copiers covered under this contract are readily available. In the event that a copier under this contract becomes obsolete and spare parts are not available, the Contractor shall notify the COR, in writing, at least ninety days in advance.

Major Repairs In the event major repairs for any copiers covered under this contract become necessary and the repairs are due to exclusions as stated in Xerox's worldwide maintenance agreement, the Contractor's full-time on-site service engineer shall be responsible for obtaining advance approval from the COR for the purchase of any spare parts needed. Any repairs with a value that exceeds L.E. 100.00 must have advance written approval by the COR before installation may begin. Failure to obtain this approval may result in a delay or rejection of payment.

Staff Conduct The Contractor's full-time on-site service engineer shall be courteous to all Government employees during performance of duties under this contract. In the event that a problem arises with any Government employee, the full-time on-site service engineer shall report the problem to the COR immediately.

5. Check to insure that the copier is properly connected to electrical outlets with adequate supplies, and that a working voltage stabilizer is connected and in use with each copier.

6. Confirm copiers covered under this contract are positioned or placed in appropriate locations (for example, away from windows, construction, possible water damage)

9. Check the copy usage for copiers covered under this contract in order to determine if there is an unusually high usage for each machine’s capacity.
