Monthly indices must have sampling error no greater than 5% at the 95% confidence level. The contractor must also conduct a grade recovery survey in 2029 to provide new index logs by January 1, 2030, deliver a methodology for updating index logs by January 1, 2027 (finalized by March 31, 2027), and submit a transition plan four weeks before contract end.
