> is not normally self-installable, the Contractor\'s technical
> personnel shall be available to the ordering activity, at the ordering
> activity\'s location, to install the equipment and to train ordering
> activity personnel in the use and maintenance of the equipment. The
> charges, if any, for such services are listed below, or in the price

b.  **INSTALLATION, DEINSTALLATION, REINSTALLATION.** The Davis-Bacon
    Act (40 U.S.C. 276a-276a-7) provides that contracts in excess of

    party for construction, alteration, or repair (including painting
    and decorating) of public buildings or public works with the United
    States, shall contain a clause that no laborer or mechanic employed
    directly upon the site of the work shall received less than the
    prevailing wage rates as determined by the Secretary of Labor. The
    requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act do not apply if the construction
    work is incidental to the furnishing of supplies, equipment, or
    services. For example, the requirements do not apply to simple
    installation or alteration of a public building or public work that
    is incidental to furnishing supplies or equipment under a supply
    contract. However, if the construction, alteration or repair is
    segregable and exceeds \$2,000, then the requirements of the
    Davis-Bacon Act applies.

The ordering activity issuing the task order against this contract will
be responsible for proper administration and enforcement of the Federal
labor standards covered by the Davis-Bacon Act. The proper Davis-Bacon
wage determination will be issued by the ordering activity at the time a
request for quotations is made for applicable construction classified
installation, deinstallation, and reinstallation services under SIN
132-8.

> price. The ordering activity must exercise its postacceptance rights
> (1) within a reasonable time after the defect was discovered or should
> have been discovered; and (2) before any substantial change occurs in
> the condition of the item, unless the change is due to the defect in
> the item.

## 6. WARRANTY
