Edgewater Creek Bridge Replacement November 2023 20 Contractor shall provide the Engineer with a revised schedule indicating when the 1 Contractor expects to reach substantial and physical completion of the work. 2 3 The above process shall be repeated until the Engineer establishes the Substantial 4 Completion Date and the Contractor considers the work physically complete and ready for 5 final inspection. 6 7 1-05.11(2) Final Inspection and Physical Completion Date 8 9 When the Contractor considers the work physically complete and ready for final 10 inspection, the Contractor by written notice, shall request the Engineer to schedule a 11 final inspection. The Engineer will set a date for final inspection. The Engineer and the 12 Contractor will then make a final inspection and the Engineer will notify the Contractor in 13 writing of all particulars in which the final inspection reveals the work incomplete or 14 unacceptable. The Contractor shall immediately take such corrective measures as are 15 necessary to remedy the listed deficiencies. Corrective work shall be pursued vigorously, 16 diligently, and without interruption until physical completion of the listed deficiencies. This 17 process will continue until the Engineer is satisfied the listed deficiencies have been 18 corrected. 19 20 If action to correct the listed deficiencies is not initiated within 7 days after receipt of the 21 written notice listing the deficiencies, the Engineer may, upon written notice to the 22 Contractor, take whatever steps are necessary to correct those deficiencies pursuant to 23 Section 1-05.7. 24 The Contractor will not be allowed an extension of contract time because of a delay in 25 the performance of the work attributable to the exercise of the Engineer’s right 26 hereunder. 27 28 Upon correction of all deficiencies, the Engineer will notify the Contractor and the 29 Contracting Agency, in writing, of the date upon which the work was considered physically 30 complete. That date shall constitute the Physical Completion Date of the contract, but shall 31 not imply acceptance of the work or that all the obligations of the Contractor under the 32 contract have been fulfilled. 33 34 1-05.11(3) Operational Testing 35 36 It is the intent of the Contracting Agency to have at the Physical Completion Date a 37 complete and operable system. Therefore when the work involves the installation of 38 machinery or other mechanical equipment; street lighting, electrical distribution or signal 39 systems; irrigation systems; buildings; or other similar work it may be desirable for the 40 Engineer to have the Contractor operate and test the work for a period of time after final 41 inspection but prior to the physical completion date. Whenever items of work are listed in 42 the Contract Provisions for operational testing they shall be fully tested under operating 43 conditions for the time period specified to ensure their acceptability prior to the Physical 44 Completion Date. During and following the test period, the Contractor shall correct any 45 items of workmanship, materials, or equipment which prove faulty, or that are not in first 46 class operating condition. Equipment, electrical controls, meters, or other devices and 47 equipment to be tested during this period shall be tested under the observation of the 48 Engineer, so that the Engineer may determine their suitability for the purpose for which 49 they were installed. The Physical Completion Date cannot be established until testing 50 and corrections have been completed to the satisfaction of the Engineer. 51 52
