Section D - Packaging and Marking

The Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) and Data Item Description (DID) can be found in Section J, Attachment J.002 and J.003.

Section E - Inspection and Acceptance

Reports, documents and narrative type deliverables will be accepted when all discrepancies, errors or other deficiencies identified in writing by the Government have been corrected.

All work must be closely coordinated with the local authority body for airport operations and will comply with all inspection requirements from governing body.

Prior to the Contractor Acceptance Inspection (CAI), a checklist of punch list items is developed by the task order COR/RE with the assistance of SSC personnel. A carefully prepared checklist will identify corrective actions that should be made by the Installation Contractor before the facility, system, or equipment is accepted by the FAA and should reduce exceptions on the JAI. The task order COR will give the CAI checklist to the installation contractor.

The task order COR/RE will give the installation contractor enough time to complete any punch list items found on the checklist prior to the contractor leaving the site. Any deficiencies noted must be corrected immediately and an amended CAI will be completed to verify repairs/corrections have been completed. Before the installation contractor demobilizes, their site superintendent must review the CAI and sign the form. Their signature on the CAI indicates that the installation contractor acknowledges if any punch list items remain. The Contractor must note that final payment will not be made until the CAI is complete (with all exceptions cleared) and submitted to the CO and task order COR. The CAI checklist is found in Section J, Attachment J.005 Contractor Acceptance Inspection (CAI) FAA Form 6010-5. The CAI checklist must be used unless the FAA task order COR/RE has submitted an alternative CAI checklist before or during the pre-construction meeting.
