5. After installation, but prior to acceptance by the Government, the Contractor must perform
diagnostic testing for the telecommunications equipment listed on the delivery order. The
diagnostic testing period cannot exceed seven (7) calendar days. Failure rate/completion rate must
be the acceptable rates in accordance with industry standards. Contractor must provide to the
Government written documentation of the diagnostic testing. If the telecommunications
equipment fails to meet the acceptable industry standards within thirty (30) calendar days, from
the installation date, the Government may at its option request a replacement of the equipment or
terminate the delivery order in accordance with the provision in the “Default” clause
“Termination for Cause” incorporated by reference into the contract.
6. The Contractor shall inspect the site. The Contractor shall report to the Government the dates
of the inspection, any rejections, the reasons therefore, and the final inspections and acceptance.
7. Any alterations or modifications in site preparation, which are attributable to incomplete or
erroneous Contractor-provided specifications, and would involve additional expense to the
Government, shall be made at the expense of the Contractor.
8. The Contractor shall install equipment, ready for use, before an installation date (day, month,
year) agreed to, in writing, by the Contractor and the Government. At the time of such an
agreement, the Contractor shall also specify a period of time within which the order must be
received by the Contractor, and beyond which the agreed to installation date will no longer be
binding. In the event the delivery order is received after the period of time provided for that
purpose, and the Contractor refuses to accept the order, a new agreed to installation date and
delivery order receipt date may be established.
9. The agreed to installation date shall be written into the order and forwarded to the Contractor
by certified mail.
10. Any changes by the Government to an order, or any part thereof, may require the
establishment of a new and/or additional mutually agreed to installation date. The Government
may delay the installation date by notifying the Contractor at least thirty (30) calendar days
before the installation date previously established.
11. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to ensure that all work conforms to accepted industry
installation practices. The installation of cabling and wiring must meet all regulatory and industry
standards.
12. The equipment shall not be considered ready for use until: (a) the Contractor provides the
Government with documentation of the successful system audit performed at the site, which
demonstrates that the equipment meets minimum design capabilities; and (b) after review of the
documentation, the Government agrees that the equipment is ready to begin the acceptance test.
13. If the equipment is certified to be ready for use on a day prior to the installation date, the
Government may, at its option, elect to use the equipment, and change the installation date
accordingly. In this event, the order shall be so amended by the Government.
14. The Government shall provide the Contractor access to the site, prior to the installation date,
for the purpose of installing the equipment. The Contractor shall specify in writing the time
required to install the equipment.
Deinstallation
Deinstallation is the disconnect of telecommunications equipment and, when requested by the
Government, cable and wiring.
a. Deinstallation includes all labor, tools, and incidental parts or materials necessary to
accomplish equipment removal (including cabling that was installed by the Contractor, if
requested by the Government).
b. The only time that both an installation and a deinstallation charge will occur on a delivery
order for the same piece of equipment, is when the equipment is deinstalled in one building or
campus and reinstalled in another building or campus. Deinstallation shall not include packaging
