EQUIPMENT FOR DOI FUNDING

• Proposed list of airport equipment for each State
  has been forwarded to DOI for review

  quotation from suppliers
• Formal request will be submitted to DOI together
  with the required supporting documents as soon as
  the DOI confirmed that the equipment being
  requested is qualified for funding

CHALLENGES

RESOLUTION TO CHALLENGES

  approved by the FAA
• R2. Pre-construction meeting at earlier stage to
  identify potential sources and suppliers
• R3. FAA waiver for Buy American Requirement
  provided the Contractor could submit proof of
  unavailability of materials
• R4. Regular coordination between FAA, FSM
  National State Government, Consultant and
  Contractor
• R5. Imposition of Retention Money in lieu of
  Payment Bond
• R6. Sufficient funding, completeness of
  supporting documents and constant follow-up
