Activities & Property
9 entries in this section. Every term is a link — open one for the full definition, its sources, and related entries.
- Alteration A physical change to existing property that is none of the other three MRRA activities. The only one of the four with a threshold above which the work becomes Modification.
- Component One part of a larger whole. The term exists to make replacement work — swapping a component is replacement, whatever the contract is worth.
- Existing property Real property that already has prior construction. MRRA can only exist on existing property.
- Maintenance The upkeep of property or equipment. One of the four MRRA activities, and one of the three that carry no threshold at any contract size.
- Real property Land and what is permanently attached to it. Arizona's TPT statutes never define it, and the entire contracting classification depends on it.
- Repair Returning existing property to a usable state from partial or total inoperability. Physically swapping a broken part can be repair rather than replacement.
- Replacement Taking out something already there and putting in something that does the same work — or better. The upgrade still counts, and contract size does not matter.
- System A group of interdependent parts forming a unified whole. Like component, it exists to make replacement work.
- Tangible personal property installed in existing property Something installed into a building that keeps its own identity and could come out in one piece. Swapping it is replacement, even though it never became part of the building.
