DELIVERABLE EXPECTATION DOCUMENT. Prior to initiating development of each Contractor Deliverable, the Contractor must prepare a DED and obtain the State’s approval for such DED. The State review period for the DED shall be no less than three (3) calendar days during Phase 1 and no less than ten (10) business days during Phase 2. The DED’s goal is to ensure a common understanding exists between the State and the Contractor regarding the scope, format, and content (depth and breadth) of the Deliverable prior to the Contractor beginning work on the Deliverable. The complexity of the DED will be proportional to the complexity of the Deliverable. The DED must summarize the key content of the Deliverable including, where appropriate, checklists, key figures, diagrams and tables. All DEDs are themselves a Deliverable and due for delivery to the state in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Formal DED approval shall occur in accordance with the Deliverable Acceptance Document (DAD) process below. The Contractor, at Contractor’s risk, may proceed with Contractor Deliverable preparation prior to DED approval.
