2.2 The contractor shall purchase the following Communications and Navigation Equipment and install it per the manufacturer’s recommendations once all electrical circuits are deemed safe for use. Note: this may require a contract mod to award the additional parts and labor costs to correct faulty circuits and components identified in Item 2.1 before the purchased Communications and Navigation Equipment may be installed. Communications and navigation equipment shall be NMEA2000 compliant to the greatest extent practicable. New equipment shall be installed in the same location as the equipment being replaced.
