6.0 GOVERNMENT FURNISHED ITEMS

The following is a list of specific items of support that the Base CE will provide:

None specific to the project.

6.1 STAGING AREA

The A-E, in coordination with the end user and Base CE, will identify space on the jobsite or in a base A- E staging area where the A-E may deliver non-hazardous materials within the installation. Approval of the staging area is required from Base Planning as part of the AF Form 103.
