SCOPE OF WORK (Continued) Stair Pressurization Systems Services Contract

5. DELIVERABLES: Within 10 days following each site visit, the Contractor shall provide FAA the following:

Certification of Stair Pressurization Systems: Submit certification documents to confirm the inspected fire protection system complies with applicable model building or national fire codes or standards, and/or applicable OSHA regulation(s). Certification documents shall follow requirements identified in appropriate National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) publications. All certification documents and written reports shall be typed and clearly legible.

6. SCHEDULE: Testing, inspection, adjustment, and repair services for the SPS shall be scheduled to coincide with work schedules at each Tower facility. FAA will verify all proposed site visits. All scheduling will be coordinated with the FAA.

7. MINOR REPAIRS: Repairs may be authorized by the CO, and will be a modification of this contract. As authorized by the CO, the Contractor shall, if possible, perform minor repairs during the testing effort, and must submit an itemized invoice separately listing labor and material costs.

8. OTHER REPAIRS: The Contractor shall identify deficiencies and repairs needed. Repairs work will be identified to the FAA COR and CO, and shall be authorized by the CO through a contract modification. No repair work shall proceed until authorized by the CO. All work shall follow applicable NFPA Codes and Standards, and applicable portions of FAA Specifications. The Contractor shall submit a written trip report to FAA within five (5) working days following the site visit. Reports shall be prepared as follows:

a) If repairs are recommended or deficiencies are noted, the Contractor shall provide a site-specific, system-specific trip report. The report shall include, at a minimum, a detailed system condition description, associated risks with continued operation, recommended corrective actions to repair and certify the system, and a detailed cost proposal, including additional airfare and expenses, and all trades costs to correct identified deficiencies.

Scope of Work (Continued)

9. CRITICAL FACILITIES: Air Traffic Control Towers (ATCTs) are active air traffic facilities and must remain operational with minimal disruption of service or operations. Some facilities may only allow testing and inspection during off-peak hours (evening, early morning). The Contractor shall coordinate all on-site activities with appropriate FAA personnel. FAA activities may supersede ATCT access at any time.

10. FIRE ALARM SYSTEMS: Stair Pressurization Systems are connected to the

Fire Alarm Systems (FAS). Therefore, close coordination with on-site FAA technicians is critical to ensure the FAS are silenced during execution of the SPS testing. All systems must be properly re-set upon completion of SPS testing.

11. DRAWINGS: The FAA will provide the Contractor drawings, as needed.
