Exhibit 3 - Deliverable Product Acceptance Form DPAF.docx

This is a Deliverable Product Acceptance Form (DPAF) developed by the State of Maryland for use in the on-call electrical services contract for the SHA Hanover Complex. The form serves as the official documentation mechanism for contractor deliverables and project completion requirements. The DPAF establishes standardized procedures for submitting, reviewing, and accepting work products throughout the contract term, ensuring that all electrical services performed meet state specifications and quality standards. The form requires detailed information about the nature of deliverables, including descriptions of work completed, materials provided, labor hours expended, and compliance with applicable codes and regulations. It includes sections for contractor certification, project manager verification, and state acceptance authority sign-off, creating a clear chain of responsibility for all work performed under the on-call contract.

The acceptance form incorporates provisions for documenting both tangible products and completed services, with fields for tracking delivery dates, inspection results, and any deficiencies or corrective actions required. The DPAF establishes timelines for state review and acceptance, typically allowing a specified period for inspection before formal acceptance or rejection of deliverables. The form includes space for recording costs associated with each deliverable to facilitate proper invoice reconciliation and payment processing. Additionally, the DPAF provides a mechanism for documenting any work rejections and required rework, ensuring accountability and quality control throughout the contract execution period. This standardized acceptance process protects both the state and contractor by creating clear documentation of completed work and establishing a formal record of project milestones and financial transactions.
