services to Employer are specified elsewhere in the Contract.

product warranties do not relieve the Contractor of warranty on work that
incorporates products, nor does it relieve suppliers, manufacturers, and
subcontractors required countersigning special warranties with the
Contractor.

1.2 WARRANTY REQUIREMENTS

A. Related damages and losses: When correcting warranted work that has
failed, remove and replace other work that has been damaged as result of
such failure or that must be removed and replaced to provide access for
correction of warranted work.

the Contract (i.e. technical specifications) shall be measured from the

requirements of Contract. The Contractor is responsible for replacing or
rebuilding defective work regardless of whether Employer has benefited from
use of work through a portion of its anticipated useful service life.

F. Employer’s recourse: Written warranties made to Employer are in addition to

implied warranties, and shall not limit duties, obligations, rights, and
remedies otherwise available under the law, nor shall warranty periods be
interpreted as limitations on time in which Employer can enforce such other
duties, obligations, rights, or remedies.

with the requirements of the Contract and to limit product selections to
products with warranties not in conflict with the requirements of the Contract.
