5.04 POST-CUTOVER TESTING–DATA NETWORK
A. The Contractor shall schedule a “Substantial Completion” meeting after cutover where all of
the features of the entire data communications system shall be demonstrated.
1. This meeting shall be scheduled for a time when the system has been cutover, is
working correctly and is under full usage load.
2. Prior to the meeting, the Contractor shall provide a checklist of all the features and
