The contractor shall be responsible for all preventative maintenance and repairs not arising out of abuse or negligence by the Government.  The government shall be responsible for daily fluid level checks; however, the contractor shall be responsible for adding fluids to the equipment to ensure the loss of fluid is not due to a more serious mechanical issue.  All service shall be provided within four (4) hours of notification to the contractor.  In the event the equipment cannot be returned to service within twenty-four (24) hours, a replacement shall be provided by the contractor at no charge to the Government.  Contractor shall validate all completed repairs by either signing the appropriate MHE Inspection Sheet, attachment (2) or providing a completed and signed repair order.

The contractor shall provide liquid spill protection to the ground surface during all maintenance and repairs. Any/all spills shall be contained and cleaned up prior to leaving the site.  If during use, a liquid spill is caused by a broken or leaking line or some other system on the contractor’s equipment, the installation spill team will be alerted to contain the spill until the contractor can make the necessary repairs.  It shall be the responsibility of the contractor to reimburse the Government for containing the spill. If fluid leaks become frequent the government may request to have the equipment removed from the shipyard and replaced with a different forklift.
