The contractor must provide monthly preventative maintenance of the building water softener and Hellenbrand TN-2-210 reverse osmosis filtration system, including monthly performance checks, monthly replacement of four 5-micron reverse osmosis pre-filters, bi-annual carbon rebed operations on four tanks, annual cleaning and sanitation, annual filter and ultraviolet lamp replacements, and quarterly mixbed DI regenerations on four tanks. The contractor supplies all labor, materials, equipment, supplies, transportation, utilities, supervision, bonds, insurance, permits, and incidentals.
