18TH STREET PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS 3741 RMT July 03, 2024 14 1-05.11(2) Final Inspection and Physical Completion Date 1 2 When the Contractor considers the work physically complete and ready for final 3 inspection, the Contractor by written notice, shall request the Engineer to schedule a 4 final inspection. The Engineer will set a date for final inspection. The Engineer and the 5 Contractor will then make a final inspection and the Engineer will notify the Contractor in 6 writing of all particulars in which the final inspection reveals the work incomplete or 7 unacceptable. The Contractor shall immediately take such corrective measures as are 8 necessary to remedy the listed deficiencies. Corrective work shall be pursued vigorously, 9 diligently, and without interruption until physical completion of the listed deficiencies. This 10 process will continue until the Engineer is satisfied the listed deficiencies have been 11 corrected. 12 13 If action to correct the listed deficiencies is not initiated within 7 days after receipt of the 14 written notice listing the deficiencies, the Engineer may, upon written notice to the 15 Contractor, take whatever steps are necessary to correct those deficiencies pursuant to 16 Section 1-05.7. 17 The Contractor will not be allowed an extension of contract time because of a delay in 18 the performance of the work attributable to the exercise of the Engineer’s right 19 hereunder. 20 21 Upon correction of all deficiencies, the Engineer will notify the Contractor and the 22 Contracting Agency, in writing, of the date upon which the work was considered physically 23 complete. That date shall constitute the Physical Completion Date of the contract, but shall 24 not imply acceptance of the work or that all the obligations of the Contractor under the 25 contract have been fulfilled. 26 27 1-05.11(3) Operational Testing 28 29 It is the intent of the Contracting Agency to have at the Physical Completion Date a 30 complete and operable system. Therefore when the work involves the installation of 31 machinery or other mechanical equipment; street lighting, electrical distribution or signal 32 systems; irrigation systems; buildings; or other similar work it may be desirable for the 33 Engineer to have the Contractor operate and test the work for a period of time after final 34 inspection but prior to the physical completion date. Whenever items of work are listed in 35 the Contract Provisions for operational testing they shall be fully tested under operating 36 conditions for the time period specified to ensure their acceptability prior to the Physical 37 Completion Date. During and following the test period, the Contractor shall correct any 38 items of workmanship, materials, or equipment which prove faulty, or that are not in first 39 class operating condition. Equipment, electrical controls, meters, or other devices and 40 equipment to be tested during this period shall be tested under the observation of the 41 Engineer, so that the Engineer may determine their suitability for the purpose for which 42 they were installed. The Physical Completion Date cannot be established until testing 43 and corrections have been completed to the satisfaction of the Engineer. 44 45 The costs for power, gas, labor, material, supplies, and everything else needed to 46 successfully complete operational testing, shall be included in the unit contract prices 47 related to the system being tested, unless specifically set forth otherwise in the proposal. 48 49 Operational and test periods, when required by the Engineer, shall not affect a 50 manufacturer’s guaranties or warranties furnished under the terms of the contract. 51 52
