This file is a milestone payment schedule and deliverables alignment document for the City of Austin's Aviation Telephone System & Services contract at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS). The contract is structured around ten milestones spanning project initiation through closeout, with deliverables-based payment authorization required at each gate. The project phases include Project Initiation & Planning (due within 15 days of kickoff), Network Readiness Confirmation (45 days), System Design Approval (60 days), Installation Readiness (prior to installation start), Cutover Readiness (minimum 30 days prior to first cutover), Deployment Completion (prior to formal testing), Testing and Training Completion (prior to Final Acceptance), Stabilization Completion (within 10 days after stabilization period), Final Acceptance, and Project Closeout (within 30 days after Final Acceptance). Each milestone requires written Aviation approval of specified deliverables before payment authorization.

The payment structure is distributed across the ten milestones with percentages ranging from 5% to 15%, totaling 100% of the contract value upon final acceptance. Milestone payments are contingent solely on written acceptance of required deliverables by Aviation; work performance alone does not authorize payment. The contract establishes a clear acceptance gate framework requiring specific documentation at each phase, including baseline project schedules, network assessment reports, system design packages, installation plans, cutover plans, testing results, training completion evidence, stabilization packages, and final closeout documentation. The warranty period and initial maintenance and support services do not commence until Final Acceptance is granted, and Aviation reserves the right to withhold payment for incomplete or deficient deliverables.
