Spare PartsThe list of spare parts submitted shall be completed by Developer and be accompanied by detailed descriptions to identify the spare parts (including the supplier and the address of the supplier) and the specific item or items to which it applies. Developer shall indicate the minimum recommended inventory for routine maintenance at installation, startup, and continuous operation based on manufacturer’s recommendations. Developer shall also indicate whether the recommended spare is a stock item or special-order item, the location of the nearest supply point, and approximate lead-time required for shipment.Any spares supplied by Developer shall be strictly interchangeable with the parts which they are intended to replace and shall be of the same or better quality as the original parts. Each spare shall be clearly marked with the description, purpose, supplier’s name, and supplier’s part number.
Recommended Spare PartsThe recommended spare parts shall be listed and shall be those considered desirable by Developer.The recommended spare parts shall include a quotation of the unit price, quantity, description, catalog number, part number, drawing reference(s) etc., for each recommended spare part to completely identify the item and the equipment component for which it is recommended.PacifiCorp may order all or any of the spare parts at its own discretion. PacifiCorp shall reimburse Developer for any spare parts purchased by Developer.
