Upon delivery, all valves of the same type must arrive together and will be subject to inspection, actuation testing prior to installation, and leak checking of 10% of each valve type within four weeks of delivery. The contract is performed under U.S. Department of Energy prime contract DE AC02 07CH11359, with place of performance at Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois 60510.
