If repairs cannot be performed within 60 days, the agency shall document the reasons why. Discovery of such events shall be logged into the annual report. The Maintaining Agency shall ensure that 90% of all critical detectors systemwide are operating properly at all time. Any time the level drops below 90%,the Agency would have ninety(90)days to correct the situation.A 5%retainage of the total annual compensation amount (as shown in Exhibit A) will be withheld whenever the 90% critical detection requirement is not met within the 90-day period. b.
