1-05.11(3) Operational Testing <br /> It is the intent of the Contracting Agency to have at the Physical Completion Date a <br /> complete and operable system. Therefore when the work involves the installation of <br /> machinery or other mechanical equipment; street lighting, electrical distribution or signal <br /> systems; irrigation systems; buildings; or other similar work it may be desirable for the <br /> Engineer to have the Contractor operate and test the work for a period of time after final <br /> inspection but prior to the physical completion date. Whenever items of work are listed in the <br /> Contract Provisions for operational testing they shall be fully tested under operating <br /> conditions for the time period specified to ensure their acceptability prior to the Physical <br /> Completion Date. During and following the test period, the Contractor shall correct any items <br /> of workmanship, materials, or equipment which prove faulty, or that are not in first class <br /> operating condition. Equipment, electrical controls, meters, or other devices and equipment <br /> to be tested during this period shall be tested under the observation of the Engineer, so that <br /> the Engineer may determine their suitability for the purpose for which they were installed. <br /> The Physical Completion Date cannot be established until testing and corrections have been <br /> completed to the satisfaction of the Engineer. <br /> The costs for power, gas, labor, material, supplies, and everything else needed to <br /> successfully complete operational testing, shall be included in the unit contract prices <br /> related to the system being tested, unless specifically set forth otherwise in the proposal. <br /> Operational and test periods, when required by the Engineer, shall not affect a <br /> manufacturer's guaranties or warranties furnished under the terms of the contract. <br /> Add the following new section: <br /> 1-05.12(1) One-Year Guarantee Period <br /> (March 8, 2013 APWA GSP) <br /> The Contractor shall return to the project and repair or replace all defects in <br /> workmanship and material discovered within one year after Final Acceptance of the <br /> Work. The Contractor shall start work to remedy any such defects within 7 calendar <br /> days of receiving Contracting Agency's written notice of a defect, and shall complete <br /> such work within the time stated in the Contracting Agency's notice. In case of an <br /> emergency, where damage may result from delay or where loss of services may result, <br /> such corrections may be made by the Contracting Agency's own forces or another <br /> contractor, in which case the cost of corrections shall be paid by the Contractor. In the <br /> event the Contractor does not accomplish corrections within the time specified, the work <br /> will be otherwise accomplished and the cost of same shall be paid by the Contractor. <br /> When corrections of defects are made, the Contractor shall then be responsible for <br /> correcting all defects in workmanship and materials in the corrected work for one year <br /> after acceptance of the corrections by Contracting Agency. <br /> Swift Green Line—Corridor Stations Special Provisions SP24 <br /> May 2017 <br />
