General
Demonstrate compliance of the one-way FM Radio Data Control System with the
supplies necessary to perform site testing. Ensure that test personnel are
regularly employed in the testing and calibration of radio control systems.
Testing shall include the field tests and the performance verification
tests. Field tests shall be conducted by the Contractor to determine the
system is completely operational. Performance verification test shall be a
demonstration to the Government to ensure proper operation of all the
components and proper execution of the sequence of operation.
3.2.2
Test Plan
Submit and obtain approval of the field test plan and performance
verification test plan for each phase of testing before beginning that
phase of testing. Give to the Contracting Officer written notification of
planned testing at least 30 days prior to test. Notification shall be
accompanied by the proposed test procedures. In no case will the
Contractor be allowed to start testing without written Government approval
of field test plan and performance verification test plan.
3.2.3
Test Oversight
Tests are subject to oversight and approval by the Contracting Officer.
3.2.4
Test Reporting
Before scheduling the performance verification test, furnish field test
documentation and written Certified Statement of Field Test Completion to
the Contracting Officer for approval. The statement, certified by the
radio control system provider, states that the installed system has been
tested and is ready for the performance verification test. Do not start
the performance verification test prior to receiving written permission
from the Government. During and after completion of the Field Tests, and
again after the Performance Verification Tests, identify, determine causes,
replace, or repair equipment that fails to meet the specification, and
submit a written report to the Government. Document all tests with
detailed test results. Explain in detail the nature of each failure and
corrective action taken. Provide a written report containing test
