Buy-Out Equipment Responsibilities

Kitchen equipment commonly known as buyouts are those items manufactured by others but provided by the KES. Some major buyout manufacturers provide start-up services in the cost of their products while others do not. The KES installer’s responsibility is to ensure that major buyouts get set up efficiently and within specifications. Buyouts without furnished manufacturer’s start-up should be set-in-place, ready for start-up as individual site con ditions allow. Certain minimum conditions must be present before the FASC can be called to the site to provide the specified service. The KES installer is not an expert on the operation of this equipment but has the responsibility to notify the FASC (Factory Authorized Service Company) if problems should appear during installation. When uncompleted work by the general contractor and their subcontractors does not allow full installation of buy-out equipment (Site Readiness is missed), the responsibility for having the FASC complete startups falls upon the owner operator. Walk-in Combination Cooler / Freezer The combination cooler / freezer walk-in-box (WIB) and refrigeration system will be released by the KES to arrive during the week prior to full kitchen installation, the refrigeration system generally will deliver with the KES pack age (the ACM will confirm regional policy on delivery and installation of the walk in box). It is the responsibility of the general contractor (GC) to receive, accept and unload the WIB and refrigeration system. The GC will inspect for damage and store on site. If there is any damage to the panels or equipment, the GC must annotate damage on the bill of lading (shipping ticket) prior to accepting delivery, and will notify the ACM. The ACM will notify the KES and the WIB manufacturer that damage was present. The WIB manufacturer will file all claims for damage with their shipping contractor. KES will facilitate the claim process. The GC is responsible for safe storage and protection of the panels and refrigeration equipment until the installer arrives. On site storage must follow manufacturer’s instructions and procedures to avoid damage or discoloration of the panels and refrigeration equipment. Panels and equipment should never be stored in the area where the WIB will be installed, or in areas where double handling would be required. -If the WIB style attaches to the main building, the KES installer will supply and install the roofing membrane. The GC will supply and install materials necessary to complete roof, with flashing and waterproofing the WIB roof and walls to the building. - If the WIB style is freestanding, the KES installer will be responsible for the complete installation of the roof system, including membrane and all applicable flashing materials. - Ensure walk-in is above grade with no down spouts or drains directing water toward walk-in. 5. Supply and install roof curbs per building plans to support refrigeration equipment for the walk in box and any remote refrigeration equipment required for the ABS and SSB. 6. All roof and wall penetrations need to be sealed. 7. For internal building applications, the GC is responsible to install KES supplied flashing materials to seal areas between the building walls and the walls of the WIB. This is to include installing insulation around the WIB service door and the flashing material (supplied by the KES) to seal between the WIB and the HM frame of the WIB service door. 8. It is the responsibility of the GC to furnish and install the floor slab thermal breaks according to the WIB manufacturer’s instructions and layout. 9. The void will need to be back filled between WIB floor and slab under threshold in floored freezer appli cation.
