Vendors must perform all work during normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.) while coordinating with the Chief Engineer to minimize disruption to facility operations, and must guarantee all work and materials defect-free for one year, replacing any defective items at no cost to the Department during the initial year.
