Further, if any period of Operation Use Time (OUT) of less than three hours duration is immediately preceded and followed by periods of Down Time, and the CR determines that those Down Times were related, that the period OUT will be considered as Down Time in computing the monthly effectiveness level (EL). EL will be truncated to an integer number. Times are defined as follows: OUT: Scheduled Use Time (SUT) minus down Time. Time, accumulated in complete 15 minute intervals, during which the contractor maintained system/equipment is considered available. SUT: Time during which the contractor maintained system/equipment is scheduled by the Government for operation use. Scheduled and unscheduled time out are not included in SUT.

Down Time: Time during which the contractor maintained system/equipment is not available for operational use. Down Time can only occur during Scheduled Use Time.

A system/equipment will be considered unavailable for use during an entire 15 minute interval if it is unavailable of used during any portion of the interval. Down Time shall be record by the Government representative in the System Maintenance Event Log for the MSRC. The contractor shall maintain equipment under the contract at a monthly effectiveness level of 98%, at a minimum, for each system/equipment identified. If the effectiveness level for a system/equipment drops below 98%, the contractor shall grant a 100% maintenance credit.
