Interface Management. Interface Management is responsible for identifying, implementing, and maintaining the internal and external interfaces necessary for system operation. Interface Management ensures a common interface definition and efficient use and compliance among the system elements as well as with other systems. GCSS-MC/LCM Increment 1 exchanges information via more than 30 interfaces across 20+ external parties in all GCSS-MC environments. The current list of interfaces can be found in SDE Technical Data Package. This frequently involves extensive global coordination. The Contractor shall execute full lifecycle management (implement, support, maintain, modify, enhance, and decommission) for GCSS-MC/LCM Increment 1 interfaces. The Contractor shall define, control, and communicate the information needed to enable unrelated objects (i.e., systems, services, equipment, software, and data) to interoperate cohesively. The Contractor shall support the control measures (Configuration Management) to ensure that all internal and external interface requirement changes are properly documented. The Contractor shall define, design, and manage the physical and logical interfaces, both internal (communications between system elements) and external (communications between the system and other systems), to ensure the interfaces perform correctly. The Contractor shall support the definition, implementation, and testing of internal and external interfaces, including any associated dependencies, to ensure that systems operate as designed and meet stakeholder requirements throughout the life cycle. The Contractor shall work closely and cooperatively with internal and external organizations and agencies to manage agreements between GCSS-MC/LCM Increment 1 and other systems owners. The Contractor shall follow established processes and procedures, as documented in Interface Control Documents (ICDs) that capture the technical agreement between the GCSS-MC PMO and the partner system owner, including interface design, data integrity, network, and infrastructure. The Contractor shall organize and lead the monthly GCSS-MC Systems Integration IPT (SI IPT) and provide status and system integration information, as requested, to support PMO briefs. At the SI IPT, the Contractor shall identify, communicate, discuss, plan, and execute approaches toward avoiding or resolving issues related to interfaces between GCSS-MC/LCM and external systems. The Contractor shall deliver Meeting Minutes and Action Item...

Interface Management. Taking into the consideration that the works will be carried out in buildings separated from the operated nuclear installations it is not necessary to manage the interface in a special way. Arrangements will be made directly with Plant Operational management. The Consultant shall identify all Project Interfaces and include within the Inception Report The Consultant is not responsible for interactions with Regulatory bodies (e.g. UJD SR, UVZ SR). The Client is responsible for these interactions. However, the Consultant shall duly support the Client in the interactions with Regulators if requested.
Interface Management. The Contractor shall be responsible for coordinating his own design, technical, programming and construction activities and for coordinating these with the design, technical, programming and construction activities of other Project Contractors, Utility Agencies, Statutory Authorities, Public Service Providers, Developers, Consultants and other Contractors whether or not specifically mentioned in the Contract, that may be working on or adjacent to the site in accordance with the procedures detailed in Appendix 16 of this Employer’s Requirements. This coordination is essential in order to minimise abortive works, and to ensure that the project progress in accordance with schedule and to achieve fully coordinated construction of the facilities. Furthermore, the contractor should be aware that, due to the needs of interfacing works, revisions to his designs may be necessary during detailed design and construction stages. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to liaise, coordinate and manage with their Subcontractors.
