Appendix 209. INSPECTION

209.1

The Governmental Engineer, or his designated representative, shall be responsible for inspecting roads, drainage structures, drainage ways or easements, etc., to assure proper completion and construction of all improvements in accordance with the plat and these regulations.

209.2

The Governmental Engineer may appoint such inspectors as he may desire. Inspection will be extended to all parts of the work and to the preparation and manufacture of the materials to be used. An inspector is placed on the work to keep the Governmental Engineer informed as to the progress of construction and the manner in which it is being done; also to call to the attention of the contractor any infringement upon the plans and specifications.

209.3

The inspectors will have authority to reject defective material and to suspend any construction that is being improperly done. The inspectors will not be authorized to revise, alter, enlarge or relax the provisions of these regulations, nor will they be authorized to approve or accept any portion of the completed work not in accordance with plans and specifications.

209.4

The Contractor may request written instructions from the Governmental Engineer upon any important items which lie within the inspectors' jurisdiction.

209.5

Where, in the opinion of the Governmental Engineer, or called for in the specifications, tests of material shall be made by and at the expense of the Contractor unless otherwise provided. Tests, unless otherwise specified, are to be made in accordance with the latest standard methods of the American Society for Testing Materials. The Contractor shall provide such facilities as the Governmental Engineer may require for collecting and forwarding samples, and shall not use the materials represented by the samples until tests have been made. The Contractor, in all cases, shall furnish the required samples without charge.

209.6

The Contractor shall furnish the Governmental Engineer with every reasonable facility for ascertaining whether or not the work as performed is in accordance with requirements and intent of the approved Subdivision plans. If required by the Governmental Engineer, the Contractor shall at any time before acceptance of the work, remove or uncover such portions of the finished work as may be directed for inspection. After inspection, the Contractor shall restore said portions of the work to the conditions required by the specifications. Any work done or materials used without suitable supervision or inspection by the Governmental Engineer (Inspector) may be ordered removed and replaced at the Contractor's expense. The Governmental Engineer shall inspect the work of the contractor as soon as practical after notice (written notice preferred) to the Governmental Engineer.

209.7

Work done without lines and grades having been given; work done beyond the lines or not in conformity with the grades shown on the plans or as given; work done without proper inspection will be done at the contractors risk and, at the Governmental Engineer's option, may be rejected. Upon failure by the contractor to satisfactorily repair or to remove and replace, if so directed, rejected or condemned work or materials immediately after receiving notice from the Governmental Engineer, the Governmental Engineer shall, after giving written notice to the contractor, have the authority to reject the work.

209.8

The Governmental Engineer shall make or cause to have made final inspection of all work in the contract or any portion thereof as soon as practicable after the work is completed and ready for acceptance. If the work is not acceptable to the Governmental Engineer at the time of final inspection, he shall inform the contractor as to the particular defects to be remedied before final acceptance can be made.
