Upon the VA s request, the vendor will also provide unlimited intervening maintenance and/or repairs to include parts and labor.

For the purposes of this contract, fully trained is defined as factory-trained (or equivalent) to perform maintenance on Life Fitness strength and cardio exercise equipment. NON-ACCEPTANCE OF CONTRACT PROVIDERS. The Contractor shall ensure that all contract providers have met the qualifying criteria. Ultimately, the decision to accept or reject Contractor personnel rests with the VA. Non- acceptance of contract Providers does not relieve the Contractor from satisfying and fulfilling the contract requirements. STANDARD OF CONDUCT. The Government reserves the right to refuse acceptance of contract Providers whose personal or professional conduct jeopardizes patient care or interferes with the regular and ordinary operation of the facility. Breaches of conduct include intoxication or debilitation resulting from drug use, theft, dereliction or negligence in performing directed tasks, or other abuse, or other conduct resulting in formal complaints by patients or staff members to designated Government Representatives. Standards for conduct shall mirror those prescribed by current Federal Personnel Regulations.

The Contracting Officer is the final authority on validating complaints. In the event that contract personnel are involved and named in a validated complaint, the Government reserves the right to refuse acceptance of the services of such personnel. This does not preclude refusal in the event of incidents involving physical or verbal abuse. The final arbiter on questions of acceptability is the Contracting Officer.
