ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

INSPECTIONS:

Customers inspect progress on their new apparatus twice during the build process. The

first inspection should be done upon mounting of the body onto the chassis. At this point,

the customer should select placement of items such as electrical outlets, special shelves,

junction boxes, the battery conditioner, switch layout, placement of hand lights, etc. The

second inspection should be done prior to delivery of the completed apparatus. At this

inspection, the customer should inspect the craftsmanship of unit, verify that the

specifications/design have been met, and can also make any final requests for minor

changes and additions. All travel expenses related to inspections shall be incurred by the

customer. Customers are welcome to make as many inspections as they wish (within

reason). All inspections are to be scheduled in advance with Awarded Vendor sales

personnel. Inspection teams are requested to not exceed six (6) company personnel.

Customers who fail to perform any inspections of their unit, while in production, forfeit

the right to request any changes (free of charge) to the placement of items that were to be

placed by the customer and not specifically spelled out in the specification, after the

completed unit is delivered.

CHANGES & ADDITIONS:

All Changes & Additions to contract, including additional charges or credits, shall be

submitted to customer for approval. All submissions, accepted or rejected, shall be

returned to Awarded Vendor. In the case of an accepted Change & Addition, the work

shall not be implemented until such time as the necessary documents have been returned

to Awarded Vendor and the conditions (terms), if any, of the order have been satisfied.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Due to the constant updating and improvement of designs and equipment by chassis

manufacturers, and subsequent changes in model numbers and designs of chassis-

specific, aftermarket equipment items, Awarded Vendor reserves the right to substitute

model numbers of equipment items for the specific model year of the chassis being

supplied without notice to the customer. Due to constant updating and improvements of

designs by our suppliers, Awarded Vendor reserves the right to supply equipment items

equal or superior to the model number of the equipment items contained within these

specifications, without notice to the customer.

period of five (5) years from the date of the determination that a violation has

occurred.
