Bid Package 08 North Well Field - Garney Construction

3. Evening meetings to review the day's test results and to review or revise the next day's
test schedule.
N. All test data and procedures followed during testing shall be logged, and certified copies of
the logs shall be provided to the Engineer and OWNER.
O. The Engineer will observe each test once on a pass-fail basis. The Engineer alone has the
authority to determine if a test passes or fails. Only four (4) fifteen minute windows per
day will be allowed during the test procedure to make corrections to software and
successfully pass a re-test. Otherwise, that test will be declared a failure. If a test fails, it
will be put on a retest schedule. If other tests to follow rely on a particular test passing,
then the following tests will also be placed on a retest schedule even though they were not
tested before. Retesting shall not interrupt the test schedule. The CONTRACTOR may
schedule retest days during the testing period, but not more than two per week. All
retesting shall only occur on a day designated in the schedule or at the end of testing.
P. All time and expense incurred by the Engineer and/or OWNER’S staff for all retests shall be
borne by the CONTRACTOR and paid to the OWNER. Time and expense incurred shall be on
a time and material basis tracked by the Engineer and OWNER for their own staff and
presented to the CONTRACTOR on a periodic basis.
Q. The CONTRACTOR shall expedite the correction of any deficiency discovered during testing.
The CONTRACTOR shall have personnel from each trade to standby during the test period to
immediately correct, or adjust any item of software or hardware or equipment causing a
test to fail.
3.07 OPERATIONAL READINESS TEST (ORT)
A. General: Prior to start-up, the installed system shall be certified (inspected, tested, and
documented) that it is ready for operation. Download all database on job computers from
this test onwards. The OWNER and ENGINEER shall be notified when ORT starts. Copies of
ORT forms that have been signed off by the CONTRACTOR shall be copied and sent to the
OWNER and ENGINEER on a daily basis for record purposes only. No signature by the
ENGINEER or OWNER is required for ORT forms.
B. Loop/Component Inspections and Tests: The system shall be checked for proper
installation, calibrated, and adjusted on a loop-by-loop and component-by-component basis
to ensure that it is in conformance with related submittals and these specifications. Actual
real-time signals generated from the field devices shall be used. Simulation of field signals
shall not be permitted. This test is intended to actually operate the entire process and to
find and correct all real-time operational deficiencies.
1. The Loop/Component Inspections and Tests shall be implemented using Engineerapproved
forms and checklists.
a. Each loop shall have a Loop Status Report to organize and track its inspection,
adjustment, and calibration. These reports shall include the following:
1) Project name
