SNO-ISLE TECH 2O23 SMALL WORKS Section 00 70 00, Page 64 McGRANAHAN ARCHITECTS GENERAL CONDITIONS 13.5.2 If the Architect, Owner or public authorities having jurisdiction determine that portions of the Work require additional testing, inspection or approval not included under Subparagraph 13.5.1, the Architect will, upon consent of the Owner, instruct the Contractor to make arrangements for such additional testing, inspection or approval by any entity acceptable to the Owner, and the Contractor shall give timely notice to the Architect of when and where tests and inspections are to be made so the Architect may observe such procedures. The Owner shall bear such costs except as provided in Subparagraph 13.5.3. 13.5.3 If such procedures for testing, inspection or approval under Subparagraphs 13.5.1 and 13.5.2 reveal failure of the portions of the Work to comply with requirements established by the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall bear all costs made necessary by such failure including those of repeated procedures and compensation for the Architect's services and expenses. If the Owner is responsible under the Contract Documents, law or regulation to pay only for an inspection of any inspector, consultant or Architect, the Owner shall be required to pay only for the first actual inspection. If the Contractor arranges for an inspection and the inspector is required to wait, to leave without inspecting, to perform a partial inspection, to return to complete or reinspect, or otherwise to expend time other than for the primary inspection, the Contractor shall be responsible for all such costs. If the Contractor does not pay the charges for which it is responsible within thirty (30) days of billing, the Owner may pay the charges directly and backcharge the Contractor on the next progress payment the amount paid plus a 10% handling fee. 13.5.4 Required certificates of testing, inspection or approval shall, unless otherwise required by the Contract Documents, be secured by the Contractor and promptly delivered to the Architect. 13.5.5 If the Architect is to observe tests, inspections or approvals required by the Contract Documents, the Architect will do so promptly and, where practicable, at the normal place of testing. 13.5.6 Tests or inspections conducted pursuant to the Contract Documents shall be made promptly to avoid unreasonable delay in the Work. 13.5.7 No acceptance of any Work shall be construed to result from any inspections, tests or failure to inspect or test by the Owner, the Owner's representatives, the Architect or any other person. No inspection, test, failure to inspect or test, or failure to discover any defect or nonconformity by the Owner, the Owner's representatives, the Architect or any other person shall relieve the Contractor of its responsibility for meeting the requirements of the Contract Documents or impair the Owner's right to reject defective or nonconforming items or right to avail itself of any other remedy to which the Owner may be entitled, notwithstanding the Owner's knowledge of the defect or nonconformity, its substantiality or the ease of its discovery. 13.6 INTEREST 13.6.1 Payments due and unpaid under the Contract Documents shall bear interest from the date payment is due at the rate provided under RCW 39.76.010. mcg-ARC 2120.000 February 28, 2023
