1.9.1 Upon completion of Installation, VENDOR shall test the equipment, software and installation for conformity with the standards and specifications set forth in the applicable Manufacturer installation manuals and in accordance with the features and performance specifications described in this RFP, utilizing the test procedures set forth in applicable Manufacturer documentation. Library must be present and witness all such tests at the time of performance by VENDOR. When all such tests have been completed to VENDOR's satisfaction, VENDOR shall give the Library written notice including copies of tests, together with its certification that all applicable standards and specifications have been met. 13
1.9.2 Upon receipt by Library of notice of completion of the tests by VENDOR, the Library may request a retest the equipment, software and installation for conformity with the standards and specifications set forth in the applicable Manufacturer’s documentation. This retest will be at no cost to the library. 13
1.9.3 VENDOR installation of the equipment and software may be staged in a manner such that portions of the Library will begin using the system before the entire system is installed and tested. Such use of the partial system by the Library does not constitute acceptance of the entire system by the Library and does not relieve the VENDOR of testing the system after all installation of equipment and software is complete. Failure of the Library to notify the VENDOR of portions of the system that are functioning incorrectly does not constitute acceptance of the system. 13
1.9.4 Library shall notify VENDOR in writing of its election to accept the system in part or completely after receipt by Library of notice of completion of the tests by VENDOR. 13
1.9.5 When the equipment and software have satisfactorily been tested to manufacturers standards VENDOR shall notify Library of the date on which the equipment and software is ready to be placed into service ("Cutover"). The actual date of Cutover shall be as mutually agreed by the parties. 13
