In addition to vehicles this requirement also applies to: bicycle racks; fareboxes (installed units, spare units, and parts inventory); farebox portable data unit and audit unit; and any other VCTC provided equipment. VCTC may contract with a qualified, third-party vehicle inspection firm to assist in the vehicle turnover inspection process. The third-party inspector will conduct individual inspections on each vehicle (within its last preventive maintenance cycle) prior to the return of the vehicle to VCTC. Such inspections will ensure that any necessary repairs are completed and will require the Contractor to conduct any needed repairs. Once the Contractor is notified of any deficiencies requiring repair, the Contractor will have seven (7) days in which to complete those repairs. If said repairs are not completed during that time frame, VCTC or the successor contractor may option to complete those repairs and charge the contractor for cost of repair work.
