The vendor is required to maintain all smallwares in good condition as established by the department at the time the vendor assumes operation of the facility. In the event that any smallwares must be replaced, the vendor will pay the cost of replacement.

In the event that a vendor should discontinue to operate the vending facility, the vendor or the vendor's heirs will furnish to the department an amount of smallwares equal to those initially provided for the vending facility, in suitable condition as determined by departmental policy.
