not be an engineer, an engineer should first make a determination of quality workmanship
and that the facility(ies) is/are physically complete and available for use or beneficial
occupancy. This determination is normally made on the basis of an inspection where the
construction contractor is present. Upon successful inspection, the engineer project
manager accepts the construction from a contractor on behalf of the government using
contract procedures. However, the DD Form 1354 deals with the transfer and acceptance
of accountability for real property. Therefore the facility transfer inspection in this UFC
refers to a meeting event involving the construction agent project manager (or losing
accountable officer for transfers of existing facilities) and the gaining RPAO to transfer
accountability for a facility(ies). The gaining RPAO should exchange his/her Accepted By
signature on the DD Form 1354 for permission to occupy the facility, often signified by the
passing of keys.
