1.15 AGGREGATE SOURCES
Aggregate must be provided from a commercial source selected by the Contractor and approved by the Government.
1.16 WARRANTY OF CONSTRUCTION
a. Performance Bond.
(1) It is understood that the Contractor's Performance Bond will remain effective throughout the life of all warranties and warranty extensions.
(2) In the event the Contractor or his designated representative fails to commence and diligently pursue any work required under the Warranty of Construction Section of the Technical Provisions within a reasonable time after receipt of written notification pursuant to the requirements thereof, the Contracting Officer must have a right to demand that said work be performed under the Performance Bond by making written notice on the surety. If the surety fails or refuses to perform the obligation it assumed under the Performance Bond, the Contracting Officer must have the work performed by others, and after completion of the work, must make demand for reimbursement of any or all expenses incurred by the Government while performing the work, including, but not limited to administrative expenses.
(3) Warranty repair work which arises to threaten the health or safety of personnel, the physical safety of property or equipment, or which impairs operations, habitability of living spaces, etc., will be handled by the Contractor on an immediate basis as directed verbally by the Contracting Officer or his authorized representative. Written verification will follow verbal instructions. Failure of the Contractor to respond as verbally directed will be cause for the Contracting Officer or his authorized representative to have the warranty repair work performed by others and to proceed against the Contractor as outlined in the paragraph above.
b. Pre-Warranty Conference. Prior to contract completion and at a time designated by the Contracting Officer or his authorized representative, meet with the Contracting Officer to develop a mutual understanding with respect to the requirements of FAR Clause 52.246-21 WARRANTY OF CONSTRUCTION, of this specification. Communication procedures for Contractor notification of warranty defects, priorities with respect to the type of defect, reasonable time required for Contractor response, and other details deemed necessary by the Contracting Officer or his authorized representative for the execution of the construction warranty must be established/reviewed at this meeting.
In connection with these requirements and at the time of the Contractor's quality control completion inspection, the Contractor will furnish the name, telephone number and address of a licensed and bonded company which is authorized to initiate and pursue warranty work action on behalf of the Contractor. This single point of contact will be located within the local service area of the warranted construction, SECTION 01 00 00 Page 6 will be continuously available, and will be responsive to Government inquiry on warranty work action and status. This requirement does not relieve the Contractor of any of his responsibilities in connection with FAR Clause 52.246-21 Paragraph, WARRANTY OF CONSTRUCTION.
c. Equipment Warranty Identification Tags. Provide warranty identification tags on all equipment installed under this contract.
d. Contractor's Response to Warranty Service Requirements. The following warranty service requirements are applicable to this contract.
Following notification by the Contracting Officer or the Contracting Officer's Representative, respond to a warranty service requirement identified by the Contracting Officer's Representative in accordance with the "Warranty Service Priority List" of this program. This list prioritizes warranty work into the categories:
First Priority 1A. Perform on site inspection to evaluate situation, determine course of action, initiate work within 24 hours and work continuously to completion or relief.
Second Priority 1B. Perform on site inspection to evaluate situation, determine course of action, initiate work within 48 hours and work continuously to completion of relief.
Third Priority. All other work to be initiated within 5 work days and work continuously to completion or relief.
The "Warranty Service Priority List" must be compiled by the Contractor and approved by the Contracting Officer.
Should parts be required to complete the work and the parts are not immediately available provide the Contracting Officer's Representative with firm written proposals for emergency alternatives and temporary repairs for Government participation within 12 hours after arrival at the job site, and provide emergency relief until the required parts are available on site for the Contractor to perform permanent warranty repair. Include a firm date and time that the required parts must be available on site to complete the permanent warranty repair. The Contracting Officer's Representative will evaluate the proposed alternatives and negotiate the alternative considered to be in the best interest of the Government to reduce the impact of the emergency condition. Alternatives considered by the Contracting Officer's Representative will include the alternative for the Contractor to "Do Nothing" while waiting until the required parts are available to perform permanent warranty repair. Negotiating a proposal which will require Government participation and the expenditure of Government funds must constitute a separate procurement action by the using service.
