The State Representative will determine who will proceed with the necessary repairs. The Contractor will be required to notify the State Representative to schedule the monthly preventative maintenance inspections and repairs.

The State Representative will have the right to change schedules due to operational needs and will notify the contractor in writing. Routine maintenance will include, but are not limited to the following items: A. Motor Control Center (MCC) 1. Test proper functioning of all warning/indicator lights. Furnish and install new light bulbs, covers and electrical switches and resistors as needed, at no additional cost to the State. Test for proper operation of all circuit breakers, starter devices, overload relays, low voltage control circuit for starter coil operation; all drivers and variable speed motor controls. Test 110/220 volt loads for lighting systems, pumps, ventilation blowers and receptacles. Any unbalanced 220-volt loads will be reported to the State Representative immediately. 2.
