The lease extended 18 months and required the contractor to provide routine preventative maintenance. Any repairs from damages that were the Government’s fault would be paid for separately. At lease end, the Navy returned the boats in damaged condition. ATSCC tallied the damages and submitted a claim for about $58 thousand.
