2) Confirm that the CCTV Camera located as shown on the Installation Plans.

3) Confirm that the Camera is properly mounted and secured as shown on the

Installation Plans and as required by the Contract Documents. Generally verify that the camera is aimed in the proper direction and that it has an unobstructed view.

4) Confirm that all equipment, wires, terminals, etc., are labeled and tagged with the Appropriate nomenclature according to the Installation Plans.

5) The test data forms for this procedure shall be a combination of a check-off lists and a Test Copy of the Installation Plans for verification of the cable routing and transitions. Where the routing cannot be confirmed or deviates from the Installation Plans, the Contractor shall mark the plans in Red Pencil and generate the necessary Discrepancy Reports. Any failures to pass inspections documented on the check-off lists shall also result in the Contractor generating a Discrepancy.

3.5 TEST PROCEDURES AND DOCUMENTATION

A. The Contractor shall develop Test Procedures that will guide and support the testing of all system elements and their functions as well as testing the system as a whole.

B. Test Procedures – The Contractor shall develop Acceptance Test Procedures and methods that when performed will completely exercise each component and shall cause each installed system and subsystem to be sequenced through its required operations, including the imposition of simulated conditions to demonstrate that the installation in its final

September 2025 16899 - 15 configuration complies with all specified design requirements and operational functions. All application software, firmware, settings databases, user interfaces, network settings, alignment, etc., shall be verified for compliance and will be the latest stable revision. Testing Procedures shall be developed for the newly installed systems as well as any existing systems that are impacted or are close enough in proximity to the newly installed systems as to warrant testing of the existing systems.

C. The simultaneous recording of data for Test Procedures being performed simultaneously for efficiency shall be considered only if the Contractor demonstrates to MassDOT Security that the simultaneous performance of tests will not in any way degrade the test process or data in any way. The Contractor shall submit all necessary backup documentation within their Test Plan.

D. Test Procedure Data Forms – The Test Procedure Data Forms shall be developed by the Contractor and will be based on the Contractor’s Test Procedures and referenced to (based

on) the Contractor’s application and the Contractor Documents. The Test Procedure Data Forms shall make allowances for referencing electronic means of recording data and eventual combining of all test and configuration data into a standalone PDF file for each system element.

E. Electronic Documentation – The Contractor shall make use of electronic documentation whenever possible. This includes but is not limited to screen dumps/prints, video, photos, data dumps, etc. This data shall serve as proof of configuration verification and testing. All electronic data shall become the property of MassDOT Security. All electronic data developed while testing shall become part of the test data and record documents.

F. Impacts – All elements of the systems being installed under this Project shall be fully exercised and monitored to confirm that they are not and will not be impacted by existing systems. Conversely, the existing systems impacted by and adjacent to the systems installed as part of this Project shall be checked to confirm that their operation or integrity is not, and cannot be impacted by the newly installed systems. To comply with this requirement the Contractor shall make every effort to install the new system elements so that they do not coexist with existing infrastructure. Where proximities are tight, the Contractor, through the MassDOT Security Project Office, shall involve the necessary MassDOT Security departments or external utilities as needed to gain an understanding of the necessary criteria for isolation and/or possible approval for their design and application. The Contractor shall make no assumptions that their application and installation supersedes existing infrastructure functionality.

G. Discrepancies – Discrepancy reports shall be generated for all situations where the system functionality of the Contractor’s Installation does do…
