CITY OF EVERETT SPECIAL PROVISIONS Water Main Replacement “Y” – Ph 1 Div 1 – GENERAL REQMTS March 2024 Work Order No. UP 3814 SP-76 1-05.11(2) Final Inspection and Physical Completion Date When the Contractor considers the Work physically complete and ready for final inspection, the Contractor, by written Notice, shall request the Engineer to schedule a final inspection. The Engineer will set a date for final inspection. The Engineer and the Contractor will then make a final inspection and the Engineer will notify the Contractor in writing of all particulars in which the final inspection reveals the Work incomplete or unacceptable. The Contractor shall immediately take such corrective measures as are necessary to remedy the listed deficiencies. Corrective work shall be pursued vigorously, diligently, and without interruption until physical completion of the listed deficiencies. This process will continue until the Engineer is satisfied the listed deficiencies have been corrected. If action to correct the listed deficiencies is not initiated within seven days after receipt of the written notice listing the deficiencies, the Engineer may, upon written notice to the Contractor, take whatever steps are necessary to correct those deficiencies pursuant to 1-05.7 REMOVAL OF DEFECTIVE AND UNAUTHORIZED WORK.

Upon correction of all deficiencies, the Engineer will notify the Contractor and the City, in writing, of the date upon which the Work was considered physically complete. That date shall constitute the Physical Completion Date of the Contract, but shall not imply acceptance of the Work or that all the obligations of the Contractor under the Contract have been fulfilled. 1-05.11(3) Operational Testing It is the intent of the City to have at the Physical Completion Date a complete and operable system.

During and following the test period, the Contractor shall correct any items of workmanship, materials, or Equipment that prove faulty, or that are not in first class operating condition. Equipment, electrical controls, meters, or other devices and Equipment to be tested during this period shall be tested under the observation of the Engineer, so that the Engineer may determine their suitability for the purpose for which they were installed.
