Common use of Vehicle Inspection Clause in Contracts

Vehicle Inspection. Vehicles that fail the inspection or fail to comply with applicable laws such as exceeding gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) for the capacity offered, dyed diesel fuel etc. shall be rejected. Equipment may be re-inspected after repairs or other reasons for the failed inspection are rectified. Contractors may not attempt to find another federal or state agency to inspect failed equipment without discussing the circumstances with the affected hiring agency (see Attachment M - Vehicle/ Heavy Equipment Safety Inspection Checklist [OF-296]). If the resource does not pass inspection at the incident or designated inspection point, it is considered non-compliant. The Contractor may be given 24 hours or a timeframe designated by Government representatives to bring the resource into compliance. If the resource does not pass inspection, no payment will be made for travel to the incident or point of inspection or return to the point of hire, or for the time that the resource was not available. Upon rejection, resource will be removed from the geographic resource list until such time that the resource is brought into compliance and re-inspected at the Government’s convenience. Repeated failures at the pre-use incident inspection may be grounds for cancellation of the agreement. The Contractor shall not have any claims or payments due for equipment rejected or for not meeting the specifications/requirements contained herein. If a reassignment is to occur, a post-use inspection by the sending incident as well as a pre-use inspection by the receiving incident must be completed and documented on the OF-296 pre/release inspection report.
