SECTION 01450 - QUALITY CONTROL <br />PART 1-- GENERAL <br />1.1 SCOPE OF TESTS <br />A. All materials, equipment, installation, and workmanship included in this contract, if so required by the <br />Engineer, shall be tested and inspected to prove compliance with the contract requirements. <br />B. All tests and inspections shall be completed under the direct supervision of a licensed professional <br />engineer. All tests and inspections shall be the responsibility as identified in the individual sections of these <br />specifications and shall be reported directly to the Owner and Engineer. <br />C. No tests specified herein shall be applied until the item to be tested has been inspected and approval given <br />for the application of such tests. <br />D. Tests and inspections shall include all those specified in the individual sections and shall be compensated in <br />accordance with the individual sections. <br />E. Tests and inspection, unless otherwise specified or accepted, shall be in accordance with the recognized <br />standards of the industry. <br />F. Soil compaction testing performed by the Owner is deemed to be for the convenience of the Owner for <br />documentation of the progress and performance of the work. Soil compaction testing results will be made <br />available to the Contractor. However, the Owner and Engineer make no representations that the number <br />of tests taken will be sufficient to accurately characterize the condition of any trench, and the Contractor <br />shall take any supplemental test it deems necessary to monitor its own performance. The Owner may, at <br />its discretion, eliminate soil and compaction testing on any part or the entire project. The presence or <br />absence of soil and compaction testing or the approval of the results thereof shall in no way reduce the <br />Contractor's obligation to correct trench settlement as described in these Special Provisions. <br />1.2 FINAL TESTING AND START-UP <br />A. If, under test, any portion of the work fails to fulfill the contract requirements and is altered, renewed or <br />replaced, tests on that portion so altered, removed, replaced, together with all other portions of the work <br />as are affected thereby, shall, if so required by the Engineer, be repeated within reasonable time and in <br />accordance with the specified conditions and the Contractor shall pay to the Owner all reasonable expenses <br />incurred by the Owner as a result of the carrying out of such tests. <br />1.3 TESTING AND LABORATORY SERVICES <br />A. Independent Testing Laboratory <br />1. Where in the individual sections of this Specification, tests or inspections are required to be furnished <br />by the Contractor by an independent testing laboratory, the Contractor shall employ and arrange for, <br />at its expense, the services of an approved independent testing laboratory satisfactory to the Engineer <br />to perform the testing utilizing recognized standard procedures and criteria. <br />B. Reports and Certificates <br />1. The Contractor shall submit reports and certificates of all inspections and test to the Engineer in <br />duplicate.
