alternate is implemented, the system Contractor shall provide any
additional rough-in required for this alternative at no additional cost to
the Government.

to the station faceplate. If the cord set has been removed from the
receptacle and the dummy plug inserted in its place, the disconnect call
shall be cancelled. As an alternate to the dummy plug, fail proof built in
cord out override circuitry that serves the same function as a dummy plug,
is acceptable. If the alternate cord out override circuitry is provided,
