The Contractor shall normally conduct first look, with response based on the “Response and Completion” Table below, for all infrastructure systems under warranty, without voiding the warranty. The Contractor shall utilize a warranty response priority system for bringing the appropriate warranty outside Contractor (Manufacturer or their qualified warranty responder) based on the following priority system:

Temporary and emergency services, to include power generation services, may be necessary to accomplish certain maintenance, repair, and new service connections. Such temporary and emergency services will be coordinated with the COR and will be accomplished using methods to avoid service interruptions, where possible, or to minimize system downtime where such interruptions of service are unavoidable. The COR will be notified of the scheduled temporary service conditions at the time of job scheduling and will be notified of all service interruptions as soon as possible, with notification time not to exceed one hour after Contractor identifies emergency situation. For purposes of this specification, an emergency situation is defined as any condition that requires immediate action to eliminate hazards to life or serious injury hazards to personnel, prevent loss or damage to Government property, or restore essential services.

The Contractor may be required to respond to emergency situations with qualified personnel outside of normal duty hours.

The Contractor Program Manager shall be required to visit the site at least twice annually and meet with the COR or their representative(s) as required to discuss and develop mutual understanding relative to work status, safety, quality, and other contractual requirements. This requirement can be cancelled at the discretion of the COR. The Government reserves the right to schedule meetings to discuss or resolve issues/problems it deems to be critical.

Response and completion times will be required as follows:

A. Priority Code 1. Emergency Warranty Response Required.

The facility maintenance Contractor shall determine the EMERGENCY nature, based on criteria noted in the “Response Definitions” table above, of the warranty service call, with confirmation by the on-site COR, where the warranty outside Contractor shall respond on-site within 4 hours to conduct evaluation and determine course of action and initiate work within 2 hours following the on-site response time.

Work shall continue until the problem is repaired/ resolved.

B. Priority Code 2. Urgent Warranty Response Required.

The facility maintenance Contractor shall determine the URGENT nature, based on criteria noted in the “Response Definitions” table above, of the warranty service call, with confirmation by the on-site COR, where the warranty outside Contractor shall respond on-site within 8 hours to conduct evaluation and determine course of action and initiate work within 2 hours following the on-site response time. Work shall continue until the problem is repaired/ resolved.

C. Priority Code 3. Routine Warranty Response Required.

The facility maintenance Contractor shall determine the ROUTINE nature, based on criteria noted in the “Response Definitions” table, of the warranty service call, with confirmation by the on-site COR, where the warranty outside Contractor shall respond on-site within 3 days to conduct evaluation and determine course of action and initiate work within 2 hours following the on-site response time. Work shall continue until the problem is repaired/ resolved.

15. Expired Equipment:

When equipment surpasses life expectancy and is determined to no longer be economically repairable, Contractors shall notify the CO and COR. The Government retains the right to decide whether to replace the equipment or keep it in service. If the COR determines that equipment is to be replaced, COR and the CO will review and decide on the appropriate timeline and mechanism for replacing the equipment. In the event the facility cannot or does not replace identified equipment, coverage for that equipment will cease and contract pricing will be reduced accordingly. Note: the contracting officer shall make the final scope determination. As this is a maintenance contract, replacements should be procured separately and competitively.

16. Privacy Training for contractors without access to VA Sensitive Information All contractor employees and subcontractors participating under this contract are required to complete the VA's Privacy training requirement - “VA Privacy Training for Personnel without Access to VA Computer Systems or Direct Access to or the Use of VA Sensitive Information” Contractors must provide certifications of completion to the COR during each year of the contract.
