Preventive maintenance services must be completed within the month prior to certification expiration and returned within 48 hours of pickup; unscheduled repairs must be completed within three business days. Performance thresholds require 98 percent of equipment to remain operational monthly, with services returned on schedule 98 percent of the time.
