Regulators and gauges will be divided into groups of approximately 20 to 30 regulators per week but could be as high as 50 regulators per batch/per week. If the vendor's location is outside of the Seattle commuting area, shipping costs will be at vendor's expense and should be figured into and included in the per item cost. The vendor will be required to either provide shipping account information or shipping labels for use by the NDC and should account for shipping delays in the 7 calendar day turnaround. • All regulators, gauges and hoses must be serviced in accordance with the manufacturers and OSHA's current annual servicing recommendations and procedures. • Annual replacement parts will be provided by NDC. Any additional repair/replacement parts will be provided by the service facility and should be invoiced as a separate line item. Additionally, the vendor is asked to submit a detailed parts price list as part of their bid package to be used in the final calculation and that can be used by NDC as a reference for billing and payment purposes. Service agreement - • All replacement parts must be new and meet the manufacturer's requirements. • For recordkeeping and quality control purposes each regulator must be serviced so that all parts, including gauges and hoses, stay consistent with that regulator. • Equipment shall be picked up, serviced and returned to NDC weekly. • Each component shall be tracked by serial number and all work performed should be documented including: parts replaced, service performed, pressure settings, test results, date of service, and name and signature of certifying technician. • All work is to be performed in a clean and well maintained service area. • All pressure gauges are to be cleaned, tested and all air spools are to be replaced with new.
