Encl. (3) to COMDTINST 4610.6
issued from stock for use in repair of damaged items, if applicable. Add this amount
to the sum of (1), (2), (3), and (4) above.
(6) If subassembly items or parts recovered incident to repair of the damaged article are
salvaged, the carrier is entitled to the salvage value of those recovered items/parts,
less any costs to process the salvage. Subtract the salvage value from the total repair
costs.
Enclosure (9) is an example of a repair cost statement.
i.
Property on Which Repairs Will Be Estimated. It is not necessary to spend money or
owe a repair bill to recover the cost of repair (78 American Law Reports (A.L.R.) 905).
Use estimated repair costs to settle claims ONLY when repairs will not be made, repairs
will be delayed due to lack of parts or backlog in the repair facility, or the damaged
property must be shipped to another facility for repair.
(1) Property Not To Be Repaired. Generally, this type of property is shipped to the
item or inventory manager for disposal or returned to storage. It eventually may be
marked for plant clearance, disposal, or for possible future use. In-transit damages
may not necessarily be the cause of final disposition action.
(a) Receiving transportation officers should obtain itemized estimates of repair costs
as soon as possible. Each estimate is prepared and signed by technically qualified
personnel familiar with labor costs, parts, and overhead.
(b) The OFA must tell the carrier:
1.
The property will not be repaired.
2.
The estimated cost of repair was computed by technically qualified
personnel.
3.
The claim will be settled on the basis of a cost estimate.
