C. The Contractor shall notify the Inspector before noon of the working day before
inspection is required. Work shall be done only in the presence of the Inspector,
unless otherwise authorized. Any work done without proper inspection will be subject
to rejection. The Inspector and any authorized representatives shall at all times have
access to the Work during its construction at shops and yards and while in storage,
as well as to the Work site. The Contractor shall provide every reasonable facility for
ascertaining that the materials and workmanship are in accordance with these
Specifications. Inspection of the Work shall not relieve the Contractor of the
obligation to fulfill all requirements of the Contract.
D. The Inspector is authorized to determine the acceptability of materials and the
quality of Work. The Inspector is authorized to sample and test all materials to be
incorporated into the Work. The Inspector may delegate this authority to sample
materials for construction to an approved public or private testing laboratory to
perform any necessary tests.
E. No Work shall be backfilled, buried, cast in concrete, hidden or otherwise
covered until it has been inspected by the Inspector and other Agencies for which a
permit is required. Should the Contractor attempt to cover or conceal any item of
Work prior to its approval and acceptance, the Inspector may cause the activity to be
stopped and require said Work to be exposed, if determined necessary by the
Inspector, so that proper inspection may take place. All costs for exposing such
Work, including premium costs resulting from alternate means of inspection, time
delays, and impacts resulting on other portions of the Work, shall be borne by the
Contractor. All costs of such delays, including its effect upon other portions of the
Work, shall be borne by the Contractor. Where Work that was done without
inspection cannot be uncovered, such as in concrete cast over reinforcing steel, all
such Work shall be subject to demolition, removal, and reconstruction under proper
inspection at the expense of the Contractor.
FAULTY AND UNAUTHORIZED WORK
A. Unauthorized work shall be remedied or removed and replaced by the Contractor in
an acceptable manner, and no added compensation will be allowed for such
removal, replacement, or remedial work. If the contractor chooses to propose repair
of non-conforming work, a repair procedure is required for non-conforming work and
shall be submitted to the Engineer for review and approval prior to any corrective
action taking place. Work done beyond the areas indicated or established by the
Engineer, or any “extra work” done without written authority from the Engineer will be
considered as unauthorized work. Work shall be remedied, removed or replaced at
the Contractor's expense. If the Contractor fails to replace any defective or damaged
Work or material after reasonable notice, the Engineer may cause such Work or
materials to be remedied, removed, or replaced, and the cost thereof to be deducted
from any moneys due or which may become due to the Contractor.
B. Except as set forth in this Subsection or elsewhere in Project Specifications, all nonconforming
Work and materials, in place or not, shall be removed immediately from
the Site or corrected to conform to all requirements of the Contract Documents, by
the Contractor, at the sole expense of the Contractor. If the contractor chooses to
propose repair of non-conforming work, a repair procedure is required for non-
