from the Government.
d.
Phase III (Testing): The test shall be conducted 24 hours per day
for 15 consecutive calendar days, including holidays, and the
system shall operate as specified. The Contractor shall make no
repairs during this phase of testing unless authorized by the
Government in writing.
e.
Phase IV (Assessment): After the conclusion of Phase III, the
Contractor shall identify all failures, determine causes of all
failures, repair all failures, and deliver a written report to the
Government. The report shall explain in detail the nature of each
failure, corrective action taken, results of tests performed, and
shall recommend the point at which testing should be resumed.
After delivering the written report, the Contractor shall convene
a test review meeting at the job site to present the results and
recommendations to the Government. The meeting shall not be
scheduled earlier than 5 business days after receipt of the report
by the Government. As a part of this test review meeting, the
Contractor shall demonstrate that all failures have been corrected
by repeating appropriate portions of the performance verification
test. Based on the Contractor's report and the test review
meeting, the Government will determine the restart date, and may
require that Phase III be repeated. The Contractor shall not
commence any required retesting until after receipt of written
notification by Government. After the conclusion of any retesting
which the Government may require, the Phase IV assessment shall be
repeated as if Phase III had just been completed.
f.
Exclusions: The Contractor will not be held responsible for
failures resulting from the following:
(1) An outage of the main power supply in excess of the capability
of any backup power source, provided that the automatic initiation
of all backup sources was accomplished.
(2) Failure of a Government furnished DTM circuit, provided that
the failure was not due to Contractor furnished equipment,
installation, or software.
(3) Failure of existing Government owned equipment, provided that
the failure was not due to Contractor furnished equipment,
installation, or software.
