The North Warning System (NWS) consists of a sequence of radar sites operating across the northern and eastern coasts of Canada; from the Yukon in the west to the southern Labrador coast in the east. Each Short Range Radar (SRR) site houses an FPS-124 Radar System. Each antenna is protected by a radome and elevated by a tower. Most radomes have an expected life cycle of 20 years. However, many of the USAF radomes are passed 30 years of installed life and are experiencing serious panel decay. The decay will eventually impact operational availability of the FPS-124 radar if the antenna is damaged due to exposure to the elements.

2.5.2 Canadian Theater (NWS)
For tasks in the Canadian theater, the Contractor must coordinate with the Department of National Defence and Operations & maintenance Contractor, currently “Nasittuq Corporation”. For theater/site support the contractor shall submit a “Third Party Support Request Form” Attachment 5.1.2.
2.5.2.1 Canadian Theater Transportation
The contractor shall be responsible for all non-GFE logistics associated with the transportation of the radomes from the manufacturing facility to sites and disposal locations. This includes, but is not limited to: storage, scheduling, sea lift, and ground support. GFE helicopter and/or fixed winged transport, if necessary, will require coordination by submitting a Third-Party Request to the Canadian Department of National Defence and Nasittuq.
The contractor shall inspect each crate prior to loading sealift, airlift, and ground transport. Transportation will require sealift from Hay River and Montreal to each site and helicopter or ground transport from the sealift drop point to the site summit. For sites that require helicopter transport, the helicopter slinging support team must be transported by helicopter from the LSS (or LRR) to each site and returned. The helicopter slinging team shall include a bear monitor at both the beach and summit locations. Radomes shall be sealifted to the nearest recognized drop point for each site including the LSS. From there, the radomes shall be slung by helicopter or driven by truck to their final site install destination. The helicopter transports one crate at a time.
2.5.3 Travel and Living Requirements
Transportation and disposal teams and installation teams shall travel via commercial flights to LSS areas and will be transported via GFE provided helicopter transport or ground transport to the site. For sites that require helicopter transport, the helicopter slinging support team must be transported by helicopter from the LSS (or LRR) to each site and returned daily.
2.6 CDRL Approval Process
Each CDRL required specifies when the delivery is due. The Contractor shall comply with all defined delivery timelines. The Contractor shall ensure all CDRL deliveries comply with the CDRLs associated Data Item Description (DID). In some instances, this PWS or Task Order PWSs requires extra data/details associated with a CDRL delivery and The Contractor shall incorporate the extra data/details as defined by this PWS or the Task Order PWS. If a CDRL is rejected by the Government, The Contractor shall have ten (10) business days to correct or adjudicate the comments and re-deliver the CDRL. If The Contractor determines that if the complexity of the deliverable or number of comments require more than ten (10) business days, then the Contractor shall request an extension providing detailed reasons as to why an extension is needed and a proposed completion date to the PMO PM for consideration and approval. The Contractor shall make that request within five (5) business days of receiving the rejected deliverable.
2.6.1 Definition of Received, Approved and Rejected
CDRL deliverables can quickly hinder a programs ability to progress from one milestone to the next and it is imperative that the Government and Contractor use the same terminology to understand the status of a CDRL delivery.
• Received – The CDRL is received only and not yet reviewed
• Approved – The meaning of approved is the CDRL has met the DID and PWS requirements and the content of the CDRL is sufficient in its current version to be considered a final approved CDRL by the Government and does not require any further updates.
• Rejected – The CDRL deliverable is not approved. A Rejected CDRL will be returned to The Contractor with a standardized Government comment resolution matrix form and/or red line mark ups/comments within the document that require corrections/adjudication from The Contractor prior to Government approval.
If something within the program changes that requires the approved final CDRL to be updated, then the Contractor shall inform the Government. The Contractor and the Government will discuss and agree to an approved re-delivery schedule for review and the CDRL will require another approval prior to considering the CDRL has been successfully met.
2.6.2 Government CDRL review process
The Government shall have thirty (30) calendar days or twenty (20) business days whichever is greater to review and provide comments or a decision to The Contractor using terminology previously defined. Most CDRLs will have an initial, subsequent, and final delivery. If the Government has not provided comments or feedback after thirty (30) calendar days or twenty (20) business days, whichever is greater, the CDRL will be considered approved.
2.6.3 Discrepancies
In case of conflict between this document and any referenced document, contact ACO & PCO for resolution of discrepancy.
2.7 Corrective Actions
In the event Contractor is determined not to perform to the scope of this contract and/or task order, the Government may submit a Comments Resolution Matrix (CRM) to the contractor describing Administrative, Substantive, or Critical issues for non-conformance of tasks the contractor may be responsible or culpable for. An example CRM can be found in Attachment 5.1.2. Upon investigation, the Government may submit a Corrective Action Request (CAR) Non-Conformance Report to the Contractor describing the details, objective evidence, and corrective actions required. The contractor shall submit a Corrective Action Plan in response to the CRM or CAR no later than fifteen
(15) calendar days after receipt.
