WARRANTIES
The SSSMR system shall be warranted as outlined below. Any emergency

1.7.1
Contractor's Weathertightness Warranty
The SSSMR system shall be warranted by the Contractor on a no penal sum
basis for a period of five years against material and workmanship
deficiencies; system deterioration caused by exposure to the elements
and/or inadequate resistance to specified service design loads, water
leaks, and wind uplift damage. The SSSMR system covered under this
warranty shall include the entire roofing system including, but not limited
to, the standing seam metal roof panels, fasteners, connectors, roof
securement components, and assemblies tested and approved in accordance
with ASTM E 1592. In addition, the system shall consist of panel finishes,
slip sheet, insulation, vapor retarder, all accessories, components, and
trim and all connections with roof panels. This includes roof penetration
items such as vents, curbs, and skylights; interior or exterior gutters and
downspouts; eaves, ridge, hip, valley, rake, gable, wall, or other roof
system flashings installed and any other components specified within this
contract to provide a weathertight roof system; and items specified in
other sections of these specifications that are part of the SSSMR system.
All material and workmanship deficiencies, system deterioration caused by
exposure to the elements and/or inadequate resistance to specified design
loads, water leaks and wind uplift damage shall be repaired as approved by
the Contracting Officer. See the attached Contractor's required warranty
for issue resolution of warrantable defects. This warranty shall warrant
and cover the entire cost of repair or replacement, including all material,
labor, and related markups. The Contractor shall supplement this warranty
with written warranties from the installer and system manufacturer, which
shall be submitted along with Contractor's warranty; however, the
Contractor shall be ultimately responsible for this warranty. The
Contractor's written warranty shall be as outlined in attached WARRANTY FOR
STRUCTURAL STANDING SEAM METAL ROOF (SSSMR) SYSTEM, and shall start upon
final acceptance of the facility. It is required that the Contractor
provide a separate bond in an amount equal to the installed total roofing
system cost in favor of the owner (Government) covering the Contractor's
warranty responsibilities effective throughout the five year Contractor's
warranty period for the entire SSSMR system as outlined above.
