systems was completed in 2017 by In-

The BLM now requires ISS to answer ISS Training Coordinator
questions regarding the system designs
during the separate installation contract
procurement process and take over the daily inspection of the
resulting installation work. The expectation is that ISS will be
on-site with the installation contractor anytime the installa-
tion contractor is working.

As mentioned above, ISS is not able to do the installation
work directly, due to conflict of interest issues when ISS won
the survey and design portion of this project. BLM however,
wanted to make sure that the project would be sucessful and
done on time. So ISS was put into a supervisory role.

David Burns is the supervisor for this project and oversees
the day to day working of the sub contractor. He also fills
the QC portion of contract by inspecting and, if needed,
showing what corrections are needed to keep the project up
to the ISS standards that government entities have come to
recognize and request.
