Prior experience at Death Valley National Park has identified things like battery replacements in alarm systems, broken gauges on risers, communications failure to the monitoring service, etc.

Any repair work undertaken must be authorized in advance by the Contracting Officer.

The NPS field technical staff, requisitioning staff, and the Contracting Officer will attempt to make such authorization quickly as soon as a deficiency that is outside of this Scope of Services is identified.

If authorization by the CO cannot be obtained in time to perform the additional minor repair during the ITM field work, contractor shall include the deficiency under Paragraph II.D above.
