The warranty shall also be void if the Procuring Agency fails to conduct normal inspections and scheduled preventive maintenance procedures as recommended in the Contractor's maintenance manuals and that omission caused the part or component failure. Procuring Agency shall maintain documentation, auditable by the Contractor, verifying service activities in conformance with the Contractor's maintenance manuals. 4.1.3 EXCEPTIONS AND ADDITIONS TO WARRANTY The warranties shall not apply to the following items scheduled maintenance items, normal wear-out items, and items furnished by the Procuring Agency, except insofar as such equipment may be damaged by the failure of a part or component for which the Contractor is responsible. The warranties shall not apply to components and major subsystems specified by the Procuring Agency, and required by the Procuring Agency to be installed on the bus by the Contractor, if the following conditions apply: the Procuring Agency has rejected the Contractor's requests for approved equal under "Offeror Communications and Requests" (Section 1.1.2.2 of Procuring Agency's solicitation), and the component or major subsystem supplier declines to participate in this warranty; and the Contractor notifies the Procuring Agency in writing with, or before submitting, Contractor's original Offer. The Contractor shall pass on to the Procuring Agency any warranty, offered by a component supplier, that is superior to that required herein. 4.1.4 DETECTION OF DEFECTS If the Procuring Agency detects a Defect within the warranty periods defined in "Warranty Requirements" (Section 4.1.1), it shall within 20 (twenty) working days, notify the Contractor's representative. Within five working days after receipt of notification, the Contractor's representative Warranty Provisions 112 10/18/07
Standard Bus Procurement Guidelines shall either agree that the Defect is in fact covered by warranty, or reserve judgment until the subsystem or component is inspected by the Contractor's representative or is removed and examined at the Procuring Agency's property or at the Contractor's plant. At that time, the status of warranty coverage on the subsystem or component shall be mutually resolved between the Procuring Agency and the Contractor. Work shall commence to correct the Defect within 10 (ten) working days after receipt of notification and shall be conducted in accordance with "Repairs by Contractor" (Section 4.2.2). 4.1.5 SCOPE OF WARRANTY REPAIRS When warranty repairs are required, the Procuring Agency and the Contractor's representative shall agree within five working days after notification on the most appropriate course for the repairs and the exact scope of the repairs to be performed under the warranty. If no agreement is obtained within the five-day period, the Procuring Agency reserves the right to commence the repairs in accordance with "Repairs by Procuring Agency" (Section 4.2.3). 4.1.6 FLEET DEFECTS 4.1.6.1 OCCURRENCE AND REMEDY A fleet defect is defined as cumulative failures of any kind in the same components in the same or similar application where such items covered by the warranty and such failures occur in the warranty period in the specified proportion of the buses delivered under this contract. For deliveries of over 50 buses, the proportion shall be 20 (twenty) percent. For deliveries of 4 (four) to 49 (forty-nine) buses the proportion shall be 25 (twenty-five) percent. The Contractor shall correct a fleet defect under the warranty provisions defined in "Repair Procedures" (Section 4.2). After correcting the Defect, the Procuring Agency and the Contractor shall mutually agree to and the Contractor shall promptly undertake and complete a work program reasonably designed to prevent the occurrence of the same Defect in all other buses and spare parts purchased under this contract. Where the specific Defect can be solely attributed to particular identifiable part(s), the work program shall include redesign and/or replacement of only the defectively designed and/or manufactured part(s). In all other cases, the work program shall include inspection and/or correction of all of the buses in the fleet via a mutually agreed to arrangement. 4.1.6.2 EXCEPTIONS TO FLEET DEFECT PROVISIONS The fleet defect warranty provisions shall not apply to Procuring Agency-supplied items such as fareboxes, radio and fare collection equipment, communication systems, and tires. Fleet defect warranty provisions shall not apply to components and major subsystems specified by the Procuring Agency and required by the Procuring Agency to be installed on the bus by the Contractor, if the following conditions apply: the Procuring Agency has rejected the Contractor's requests for approved equal under "Offeror Communications and Requests" (Section 1.1.2.2 of Procuring Agency's solicitation) and the component or major subsystem supplier declines to participate in this warranty; and the Contractor notifies the Procuring Agency in writing with, or Warranty Provisions 113 10/18/07
