practices have or will be implemented to ensure that the incident does not recur.  AT&T and Contractor recognize that Contractor may impose stricter requirements on its Subcontractors relating to health and safety by mutual agreement.  In the event of conflict between the requirements of this clause and any Contractor requirements imposed on its Subcontractors, the stricter health and safety requirements of the two shall prevail.

3.18 Site Ready for Third Party 

a. OEM

Contractor shall Actualize ***** (CASPR Milestone *****/*****) prior to Actualizing ***** (CASPR Milestone *****/*****).  Actualization of CAPSR Milestone *****/***** by the Contractor is Contractor’s representation that the Site has been constructed in compliance with the Specifications and Contractor has completed the preparation of the Site for delivery of the material and services ordered by AT&T from the OEM or other third party.  In the event that the OEM or other third party delivers or attempts to deliver the material and services and the Site is found not to be ready as was represented by Contractor then Contractor shall be responsible for any costs incurred by AT&T to reimburse the OEM or other third party for the Site not being ready to accept delivery. Such costs shall be applied as a credit on Contractor’s next invoice applicable to the Order for the Project.

b. LEC

Contractor shall Actualize ***** (CASPR Milestone *****) prior to Actualizing ***** (CASPR Milestone *****/*****).  Actualization of CAPSR Milestone ***** by the Contractor is Contractor’s representation that the Site has been constructed in compliance with the Specifications and Contractor has completed the preparation of the Site for delivery of the material and services ordered by AT&T from the LEC (including AT&T) or other third party. In the event that the LEC or other third party delivers or attempts to deliver the material and services and the Site is found not to be ready as was represented by Contractor then Contractor shall be responsible for any costs incurred by AT&T to reimburse the LEC or other third party for the Site not being ready to accept delivery. Such costs shall be applied as a credit on Contractor’s next invoice applicable to the Order for the Project.

3.19 Turnover Package (Close-out Package)

	
a.
	
The Turnover Package shall include, but not be limited to, documentation required by Appendix A Sections entitled “Procurement of Material” and “Service Work Authorizations”, all document Deliverables identified as an inclusion of individual Drivers, the ND298 Checklist, WA’s, Project and Program Management Deliverables and the documents required per AT&T standards documents ND298 and ND51. 

	
b.
	
AT&T shall endeavor, but shall not be committed, to review the Turnover Package and either 1) approve it by way of Actualizing MS ***** or 2) disapprove it by way of un-Actualizing MS*****, within 60 calendar days of Contractor’s MS***** Actualization.

Actualization of MS*****, such as that a certain document or documents were incorrect or missing. In no event shall AT&T’s use of Material or Service constitute Acceptance, nor will Acceptance be deemed to occur prior to the date Contractor completes its Delivery.

	
c.
	
AT&T’s Actualization of MS***** shall be based on the following criteria. 

	
i.
	
The date of MS***** Actualization is in logical sequence relative to other Project Milestones which have been Actualized or met; and 

	
ii.
	
Punch list items are complete per Section entitled “Punch list Complete”; and

	
iii.
	
AT&T agrees the Turnover Package has been Delivered and that MS***** was properly Actualized. 

	
d.
	
AT&T, in its sole discretion, may allow an exception to the Delivery Date for certain Turnover Package Deliverables when the Delivery delay is beyond Contractor’s control (e.g., *****); requests for any such exceptions must be documented by Contractor and submitted along with an anticipated revised Delivery Date for the delayed documentation. AT&T expects such Deliverables will be delivered by the anticipated revised Delivery Date. 

	
e.
	
For the avoidance of doubt, the Turnover Package is a Deliverable and is due to AT&T on the Turnover Package Delivery Date as described above. While it is AT&T’s desire and intent to receive and accept a correct and complete the Turnover Package, AT&T cannot wait indefinitely for Delivery of the Turnover Package. 

	
f.
	
If Contractor fails to complete Delivery by the later of i) the Turnover Package Delivery Date or ii) fifteen (15) calendar days from the date AT&T notified Contractor that the Turnover Package was not correct and complete, AT&T may elect (but shall not be required) to forego such Delivery, in whole or in part, and Contractor agrees to reduce its Final Invoice to AT&T by $2500. AT&T shall notify Contractor in writing of its election to forego such Delivery and shall be entitled to keep whatever portion of the incomplete or incorrect Close-out Package that it so desires. 

	
g.
	
Scoping Division of Payments. AT&T expects the Contractor to act in good faith in scoping Projects. It is normal for scope to be added and removed during the life of a Project. Given the division of payments, AT&T will monitor the Contractor invoicing for specific unacceptable practices, such as front loading scope and excessive revision downward of later payment values. If AT&T, in its sole discretion, determines that Contractor is leaving abnormally little scope at the later pay points for Civil Work, AT&T may suspend the ability of Contractor to submit invoices for progress payments as described in this Section. Actions AT&T may take in this event include, but are not limited to, moving 100% of the Civil compensation to MS*****.

	
h.
	
If AT&T discovers errors or omissions in Turnover Package documents after AT&T Actualizes MS*****, AT&T will notify Contractor accordingly. Contractor will have ***** (*****) days from the date of AT&T’s notification to resolve the discrepancy.  If the discrepancy is not resolved by Contractor in a manner reasonably satisfactory to AT&T

3.20 Warranty

For purposes of this Agreement, the Section of the General Agreement titled “Warranty” is amended to delete and replace items 12 and 13 and to add new items 14 and 15 as follows: 

12) If at any time during the warranty period for Material or Services AT&T believes there is a breach of any warranty, AT&T *****, notify Contractor setting forth the nature of such claimed breach.  Contractor shall promptly investigate such claimed breach and shall either (i) provide Information satisfactory to AT&T that no breach of warranty in fact occurred or (ii) at no additional charge to AT&T, promptly take such action as may be required to correct such breach. If the required corrective action is to re-perform the Services and/or repair the Material, and if Contractor fails or refuses to make such repairs and/or re-perform such Services, commencing within ***** (*****) ***** and completed within  ***** (*****) ***** for Service Affecting Defects, or commencing within ***** (*****) ***** and completed within ***** (*****) ***** for Non-Service Affecting Defects, then, unless waived by AT&T, in addition to any other remedies, AT&T shall have the right to receive a full refund of any amounts paid for such Material and Services.  If Contractor does not perform as detailed herein,  at AT&T’s option, AT&T may either (i) charge the cost of such correction, replacement or other remedy to Contractor, or (ii) deduct the cost of such remedy from any amounts due Contractor for Material or Services under this Agreement. 

13) If a breach of warranty has not been corrected in accordance with the timelines set forth in the preceding paragraph, or if two or more breaches of warranty occur in any sixty (60) day period, AT&T may terminate this Agreement and/or the applicable Order without liability.

14) The warranty period in all cases shall commence upon Acceptance (MS*****) for all Projects, except when a Project is for Site Acquisition Services only.  Acceptance for Site Acquisition only Projects occurs at MS*****.

15) If AT&T requests that Contractor perform warranty Services after MS***** has been actualized and such Services result in charges to AT&T due to any or all of the actual scope of the maintenance or repair work not being covered by Contractor’s warranty, Contractor shall create a maintenance order of magnitude (OOM) in NORAD and, upon approval by AT&T, charge AT&T for the applicable Drivers, *****.  

3.21 Work Summary

Procurement of Material 

	
a.
	
Methods of Contractor Furnished Material

	
1.
	
Incidental Material means materials that cannot physically be counted or are not a permanent part of a cell site.  There is no additional compensation for incidental materials, e.g. nails, zip ties, tape, glue, cold galv, etc. Incidental Materials are compensated via Project Management drivers.

Base Driver Materials (*****) means reoccurring standard items with contracted pricing , e.g. ice bridge, CAT 5, conduit, etc. Payment will be made at contracted paypoints.  AT&T may request contractor to substantiate quantities.

	
3.
	
Non Tracked Cost Plus refers to a sale of Material from Contractor to AT&T in which the price of the Material is established by means of the Cost Plus process as described below.

	
a)
	
The Cost Plus method requires Contractor to establish “Cost” by providing AT&T with receipts showing what Contractor paid for the specific Material if the “Cost” differs from the AT&T price for the Material as determined by an agreement between AT&T and the supplier of the Material. AT&T agrees to pay Contractor ***** times Cost (i.e., Contractor’s allowed margin over Cost shall be *****%) (the “Markup”) with the exception of  towers, shelters and generators, for which AT&T agrees to pay Contractor ***** times Cost (i.e., Contractor’s allowed margin over actual Cost shall be *****%) Contractor’s supplier receipts or other documentation as may be used to prove Cost shall be submitted at True up.  

	
b)
	
“Cost” as it relates to “Cost Plus” in this Section or as described in a Driver means the amount paid by Contractor for the Material. Cost specifically excludes Contractor’s overhead and other operating expenses, as well as profit. Contractor’s total compensation for all other direct and indirect expenses, overhead and profit related to the provision of Cost Plus Material to AT&T shall be the Markup.

c)
	
Contracted Materials (CONMAT) – (includes Tracked and Non-Tracked Materials) descriptions and quantities are loaded into NORAD, including for towers, shelters and generators. CONMAT Materials are Materials for which AT&T has a contract with an OEM or other source of such Material, including a contract price (the “AT&T Price”) for direct purchase of the Material by AT&T from the OEM or other source. If the cost plus price of the Material equals the AT&T Price then Contractor is required to provide a packing slip.  If the cost plus price does not match the AT&T’s Price then Contractor is required to provide a packing slip and an invoice from the Contractor’s material supplier to establish the cost.  Materials furnished through the CONMAT process shall be provided in accordance with AT&T RF Cabling Standard ATT 002-290-140 with emphasis on factory made jumpers. Contractor shall use factory made jumpers for all new installations of applicable AT&T equipment.  Handmade or field-made jumpers will be rejected by AT&T and Contractor shall replace such jumpers and install factory-made jumpers at Contractor’s expense.

	
i.
	
Tracked means items for which AT&T has already contracted a price, including Towers, Shelters, Generators, antennas, etc. and are one or more of the following: serialized, CATS-tracked, or maintained as a fixed asset, AT&T policies require these items to have their own line on the purchase order for tracking and depreciation purposes and Contractor shall provide individual line items on its invoice for Tracked items.  Payments shall be made by line item on the purchase order.

	
ii.
	
Non-Tracked means items for which AT&T has already contracted a price but are not tracked, e.g., hoisting grips jumpers, connectors, etc.  All items in CONMAT that are not tracked will receive a single purchase order line under contract paypoint MS*****.

	
iii.
	
Non-Contracted Materials (NONCON) – items which have no negotiated AT&T Price, e.g. lumber, concrete, etc.  These items are entered free-form into the Non-Contracted section of NORAD to capture a wide range of potential items.  In the event these materials are recurring, the Contractor can establish Preapproved Materials (“PAM”) which act as drivers with unique identification numbers in NORAD to allow for rapid input, approval and invoicing.  For the avoidance of doubt, packing slips and Contractor invoices are required to establish the value of Non-Contracted Materials (unless item is loaded as PAM within NORAD; then only packing slips are potentially required).  Invoicing and payment shall be made in accordance with contracted paypoints.

To the extent practicable, Contractor will provide information on the status of the Off-Site Release to the appropriate AT&T representative, in the manner and with the frequency as requested by AT&T, until the release situation has been remedied as provided herein. If, in AT&T’s sole opinion, Contractor does not respond appropriately or in a timely manner to the Off-Site Release, AT&T reserves the right to hire one or more third parties to provide whatever services AT&T deems necessary to remedy the situation in accordance with applicable law. Contractor shall, subject to Section 3.16 of the General Agreement, reimburse AT&T’s expenses thus reasonably incurred.
