Regular communication with the Integrated Process Team (IPT) is required, with weekly status reports detailing progress and issues. The project has a designated performance period of 120 days, with work primarily conducted during normal duty hours. The contractor's deliverables include as-built drawings and test reports, demonstrating compliance with established telecommunications guidelines. This SOW reflects the government's commitment to upgrading essential communication infrastructures while ensuring safety and operational efficiency at the base.
