The contractor shall then provide a supplementary quote to the COR for the remainder of the work to be complete. The KO shall determine if the price is fair and reasonable and shall approve the supplementary quote, including any parts and materials, by issuing a NTP for the remaining repair services.

1.6.2. Scheduling Repairs

1.6.2.1. The Contractor shall arrive at PBA within forty-eight (48) hours of issuance of a NTP for repairs.

1.6.2.2. Scheduling of work for each requirement shall be coordinated with the COR. The majority of equipment to be serviced is in a production area. This may mean limited access to those areas during operations.

1.6.2.3. Repairs may include a major problem/breakdown of mechanical equipment or system and the restoration of that equipment to such a condition that it may be effectively utilized for its designated purpose. Repairs may include but not limited to overhaul, reprocessing, replacement of parts/components, balancing airflow, or replacement utilizing load calculation for appropriate sizing of a HVAC-R system or other mechanical equipment.

1.6.2.4. In all repair cases the KO shall determine if the price is fair and reasonable and shall approve each quote for repair in the form of issuing a NTP for repair services.

1.6.2.5.

The COR shall determine if the price is fair and reasonable and shall approve each emergency call out repair quote, including any parts and materials. Upon approval, the COR will issue a NTP for emergency repair services. In the event the contractor anticipates it will surpass the quoted price for the emergency call out requirement, the contractor shall notify the COR prior to exceeding the quoted price. The contractor will provide a supplementary quote on site to the COR for the remainder of the work to be complete. The COR shall determine if the price for the completion of the remaining emergency call out repair is fair and reasonable, including any additional parts or materials, and shall approve the additional quote by issuing a supplementary NTP.

1.7.4. Emergency call out includes labor for making on the spot evaluations, adjustments, resetting controls, adjusting set point/limit switches/sensors, repairing loose connections, cleaning dirty filters, and any and all other similar type repairs/corrections that can typically be performed on the spot with tools and equipment normally carried by a qualified service technician. Emergency call out may also include a major problem/breakdown of a mechanical system and the restoration of that system to such a condition that it may be effectively utilized for its designated purpose.
