General

The Contractor shall perform preventive maintenance as outlined in Exhibit A - STATEMENT OF WORK. The objective of scheduled preventive maintenance is to eliminate system malfunction, breakdown, and deterioration when units are activated/running.

The Contractor shall inventory, supply and replace expendable parts (e.g, filters, belts, hoses, gaskets) that have become worn due to wear and tear. The Contractor shall maintain a supply of expendable and common parts on site so that these are readily available for normal maintenance to include: hoses, belts, oil, chemicals, coolant, filters (Air, Fuel, Oil), grease, sealant, thermostat, fuses; in addition to the appropriate tools, testing equipment, safety shoes and apparel for technicians, personal protective equipment (hands, hearing, eye protection), MSDS, cleaning material and oil spill containment kits.

Maintenance materials shall be unused and are to be industry standard and intended for the task to be performed. Parts shall be OEM approved. Refrigerants shall meet the AHRI Standard 700-2015 or most recent AHRI Standards.

Refrigerants, parts and maintenance materials delivered to the post are to be new and unused. Reclaimed refrigerants are not to be delivered to posts.

Exclusion. This contract does NOT include repair of equipment and replacement of hardware (e.g., bearings, pistons, piston rings, crankshaft, gears.) Hardware replacements will be separately priced out by the Contractor for the Government’s approval and acceptance. The Government has the option to accept or reject the Contractor’s quote for parts and reserves the right to obtain similar spare parts from other competitive sources. If required by the Government, the Contractor shall utilize Government-purchased spare parts, if awarded the work. Such repairs/replacements will be accomplished by a separate purchase order. However, this exclusion does not apply if the repair is to correct damage caused by Contractor negligence.

Replacement/repair of any electronic or electrical parts must be approved by the COR prior to installation of the part. If the Contractor proceeds to replace any electronic or electrical parts without COR approval, the Contractor shall de-install the parts at no cost to the Government.

Stocking of recommended repair parts is at the discretion of the Facility Manager and is dependent upon the nearest location of the Equipment manufacturer, distributor or dealer.
