Scheduled maintenance includes three seasonal cycles: spring startup (approximately April 15), summer inspection (approximately 90 days after de-winterization), and winter shutdown (approximately October 15). Non-routine repairs under $2,500 require approval from the Government Point of Contact; repairs exceeding $2,500 require Contracting Officer approval via bilateral modification.
