Likewise, Performance Standards specified at a lower digit level (i.e. spec item 3.1.1, 3.1.2, 3.1.2.1) apply when performance is assessed at a higher tier (i.e., spec item 3.1) based on the composite work requirements.

Partnering should accomplish three goals:

- The first goal is to develop a cohesive team with common purpose, commitment and established communication processes.

- The second goal of partnering is contract specific, identifying risks and opportunities for the team to address.

- The third goal is to sustain the Partnership throughout the contract by identifying and addressing issues that affect the Partnership. Required Conferences and meetings listed in J-0200000-03.

The senior Government stakeholder present will lead the meeting, however, the Contractor’s PM or senior representative is encouraged to participate as co-lead.

The Partners will determine the frequency of the follow-on sessions.

The Core Management Team consisting of the attendees below must be present during the initial and all follow-on partnering sessions. These are the core mandatory attendees. Other stakeholders may attend if they desire or as recommended by the partners.

The Contractor shall bring the necessary personnel to successfully partner on this contract. Asterisk indicates mandatory personnel.

Medical Treatment. Treatment administered by a physician or by registered professional personnel under the standing orders of a physician. Medical treatment does not include first aid treatment even through provided by a physician or registered personnel.

WHE Accident. A WHE accident occurs when any one or more of the eight elements in the operating envelope fails to perform correctly during operation, including operation during maintenance or testing resulting in personnel injury or death; material or equipment damage; dropped load; derailment; two-blocking; overload; or collision, including unplanned contact between the load, crane, or other objects. A dropped load, derailment, two-blocking, overload and collision are considered accidents even though no material damage or injury occurs. A component failure (e.g., motor burnout, gear tooth failure, bearing failure) is not considered an accident solely due to material or equipment damage unless the component failure results in damage to other components (e.g., dropped boom, dropped load, roll over, etc.)
