Apparatus and Equipment Clause Samples
The 'Apparatus and Equipment' clause defines the responsibilities regarding the provision, maintenance, and use of tools, machinery, and devices necessary for performing contractual work. Typically, it specifies whether the contractor or the client must supply the required equipment, outlines standards for safety and suitability, and may address inspection or approval procedures. This clause ensures that all parties are clear about who is accountable for supplying and maintaining equipment, thereby minimizing disputes and promoting safe, efficient project execution.
Apparatus and Equipment. If the withdrawing Party has transferred apparatus or equipment to the Authority and such apparatus or equipment has not been cycled through to the end of its usable life or inseparably incorporated in the Authority’s inventory, those units will be returned to the withdrawing Party. All apparatus and equipment purchased through the Authority’s capital replacement plan is owned by the Authority.
Apparatus and Equipment. The Company shall:
(a) Maintain sufficient apparatus and equipment in a serviceable condition and ready for response so as to be able to function at an acceptable level of reliability to affect a reasonably satisfactory disposition of first call fire and emergency calls.
(b) Provide all fuel and bear the expense of maintenance and repairs of all apparatus and equipment owned by the Company. The Borough will consider undertaking major repairs on apparatus, upon request of the Company, when funds are available.
(c) Provide insurance coverage for all apparatus and equipment not titled in the Borough’s name to cover loss due to physical damage. The Borough shall:
(a) Provide basic vehicle liability insurance as required by the law for all apparatus.
(b) Provide worker’s compensation insurance for all volunteers as required by the provisions of the Pennsylvania Workmen’s Compensation Act.
Apparatus and Equipment. The COUNTY has provided emergency response apparatus, equipment and personal protective equipment (“Apparatus and Equipment”) as it has deemed appropriate for attainment of Department objectives. Apparatus and Equipment provided by the COUNTY shall remain the property of the COUNTY. The VFD may augment the Apparatus and Equipment supplied by the COUNTY, either on its own, or jointly with the COUNTY. Apparatus and Equipment provided by the VFD shall remain property of the VFD and shall meet the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards for fire apparatus capability, useable life and safety. Such NFPA standards shall serve as the basis for evaluating the suitability of VFD owned Apparatus and Equipment. The County Fire Chief may designate color and marking of Apparatus and Equipment provided solely by the COUNTY. The VFD Chief after consultation with the County Fire Chief may designate color and marking of Apparatus and Equipment provided by the VFD. The COUNTY shall maintain and repair the Apparatus and Equipment used by the COUNTY and by the VFD as authorized by the COUNTY, without regard to ownership.
Apparatus and Equipment. The responsibilities for Fire Station equipment shall be as follows:
a. The County’s obligations:
i. The County will, at its own expense, provide and equip the Fire Station with Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) equipment the County is required to have at ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Regional Airport to satisfy the requirements of Part 139, Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, applicable National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards or is required by the Airport Director with input from the Fire Chief or their designee.
ii. The County will provide, at its own expense, ARFF vehicle(s) for the Fire Station. Said vehicle(s) may be used for emergencies within the Airport property or in major off-airport property emergencies. In either case, the emergency must require a foam agent and, in the judgment of the Fire Chief or their designee, such major emergency exceeds the City’s regular and on-call equipment capabilities. However, such ARFF use is subject to the following conditions and limitations:
1. Petrochemical type of fire requiring foam capacity above the capacity of the City Fire Department.
2. County ARFF vehicles will be the last unit on the call list.
3. The Fire Chief or their designee will notify the Airport Director of the need to use the County ARFF vehicles at the earliest practical time.

b. The City’s obligations:
i. The City will, at its own expense, provide and equip the fire station with whatever structural firefighting and rescue equipment deemed necessary by the City.
ii. City agrees to replace, at its own expense, any County-owned extinguishing agent, fuel and the like used by City from County owned firefighting and rescue equipment, when the use is caused by the City’s response to a City fire call. The County may request verification of these costs through the Fire Department’s Record Management System or the Duty Chief’s Daily Summary Report. Replacement must be the earliest possible opportunity so as to insure that County owned firefighting and rescue equipment will not be out of service and available for use at the Airport property.
