The successful vendor must acknowledge receipt and certify the delivery schedule within 14 calendar days of contract signing, with delivery required no later than 240 days from award. A $200 per day penalty applies for late delivery. The manufacturer's representative must deliver the apparatus and provide three consecutive days of on-site instruction for County personnel.

Service capability and proximity are major evaluation factors. Vendors must document local service facilities, certified technicians, and engineering capacity; provide a minimum of two County inspections at manufacturer expense (including travel and lodging for three representatives); and furnish comprehensive warranty information, operation and maintenance manuals, wiring diagrams, component specifications, and construction records. Proposals must conform to RFP requirements without alternate contract language; deviations not listed in the original proposal will result in rejection.
