The contractor is responsible for making an appointment with the COR to discuss all repair options before any repair work is started including all additional repairs that are identified after work has started.
Government will haul the Freightliner to and from the Vender’s dealership which is located within 60 miles of the ARS location. The vender must have the ability to unload the Freightliner at their location.
