as amended in Sections and other Division 01 00 00 sections of these Contract
Specifications apply to requirements of this section; this section in turn applies to

1.3 SUMMARY

A. The purpose of the warranty management process shall be to provide the MOI
with a high level of assurance that the building systems as delivered by the
Contractor are free of defect, both patent and latent, that all required warranties
are valid, that warranty support systems and methodologies are in place, both
locally and remote, and that MOI support staff have a full understanding of the
continued operation and maintenance of said systems.
1. The Contractor shall plan for warranty management coverage for this
process, in accordance with the provisions of contract.
2. The period of warranty management coverage is logically greater than
the individual system warranty periods. As a management process it
shall commence early in the start-up and commissioning phase and
end at a period normally one year (12 months) from the issuance by
the MOI of final acceptance certification, unless otherwise agreed
upon.
3. The main action agent during the warranty management period may
be the Commissioning Authority or any other qualified agent certified
by the Contractor to act on its behalf.
