2. SERVICES SUMMARY.
The Contractor service delivery requirements are summarized into Performance Objectives that relate directly to standards of performance required to meet mission essential needs. For the Performance Objective to be met, service delivery must be in substantial compliance with applicable performance standards. The performance threshold describes the minimum overall levels of service delivery required for acceptable quality control. Failure to meet these performance thresholds means that Contractor quality control is unacceptable. The following is a list of the key Performance Objectives that will be verified as contractually compliant by Government personnel; however, inspection of any contract requirement is authorized.

Facilities shall be used for performance of this contract only.
3.2.2. The Government may approve repairs, replacements, and/or improvements to the WWTP not covered by any other part of this PWS. These repairs, replacements, and improvements may be approved if it can be shown that they are necessary due to Government requirement or fault (e.g. poor design, etc.). The Contractor shall submit an Unscheduled Maintenance Worksheet to the COR for forwarding to the CO for potential approval. The Government may request three independent price quotes to help determine price fair and reasonable.
3.3. REAL PROPERTY INSTALLED EQUIPMENT (RPIE). All RPIE provided by the Government, such as pumps, blowers, generators, Auger Monster®, grit classifier, grease collector, etc., is listed in the 27 SOCES Real Property records. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) manuals are available at the WWTP.

3.10.1 All publications and forms listed, unless otherwise shown, are available through internet websites. Supplements or amendments to listed publications from any organizational level may be issued during the life of the contract. The Contractor shall immediately implement those changes in publications that result in a decrease or no change in the contract price. Prior to implementing any such revision, supplement, or amendment that will result in an increase in contract price, the Contractor shall submit to the CO a price proposal and obtain prior approval of the CO. Said price proposal shall be submitted within 15 calendar days from the date the Contractor receives notice of the revision, supplement, or amendment giving rise to the increase in cost of performance.
