PART 3 – EXECUTION

3.1. COOPERATION WITH TESTING LABORATORIES AND INSPECTORS

Provide facilities for such access in order that the testing, inspection and the obtaining of samples may be done properly.

3.2. CONTRACTOR PROVIDED SAMPLE

3.2.1. Contractor shall deliver material specimens to the District’s testing lab, which must by terms of the Contract be tested prior to inclusion in the Project, at least 30 days prior to scheduled delivery to the job site.

3.2.2. Material shipped by the Contractor from the source of supply prior to having satisfactorily passed such testing and inspection or prior to the receipt of notice from said representative that such testing and inspection will not be required shall not be incorporated in the job.

3.3. FIELD SPECIMENS

3.3.1. Field specimens and samples for testing, unless otherwise provided in these Contract Documents, shall be selected and taken by the testing laboratory or Inspector and not the Contractor. Sampling equipment and personnel will be provided by the testing laboratory. Deliveries of specimens and samples to the testing laboratory will be performed by the testing laboratory.

3.4.1. Establishing Schedule:

3.4.1.1.1. Provide required time within the construction schedule.

3.4.2. Revising Schedule: When changes of construction schedule are necessary during construction, coordinate such changes of schedule with the testing laboratory as required.

3.4.3. Adherence to Schedule: When the testing laboratory is ready to test according to the determined schedules, but is prevented from testing or taking specimens due to incompleteness of the work, extra charges for testing attributable to the delay may be back-charged to the Contractor and will be deducted by the District from the Contract amount.
