Key Definitions.

· Construction - All work necessary to produce a complete and usable facility or a complete and usable improvement to an existing facility; includes any building, structure, or other improvement to real property to be used by a Government Agency, regardless of whether such use is anticipated to be of a temporary or longer duration.

· Facility/System Replacement – Design, acquisition, installation and/or construction of an entire facility and/or system (e.g. - replacing or repaving a road; replacing a system such as a whole building chiller; construction of a new building; addition to the footprint of an existing building.)

· Refurbishment – Consists of construction, renovation or upgrades to existing facilities, with the intent to provide safe, habitable conditions.

· Technical Inspections – Assessments conducted on facilities and/or equipment prior to the Contractor assuming maintenance responsibility. Upon completion of a technical inspection and correction of any deficiency, the COR will direct the Contractor to assume maintenance responsibility.

· Light Construction – Design, acquisition, labor and materials to perform construction, renovation or remodeling activities not requiring more than 120 man-hours of labor to complete -- the number of hours required shall be negotiated by the Contractor and the COR.

· Minor Construction – Construction exceeding 120 man hours in duration with overall costs above a $250K contracting threshold. These construction projects require higher level approval for funding within a contract.
