SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION

Substantial completion is defined as that point at which the work is basically complete and ready for use. All specified products shall have been installed and are functionally operational. Remaining work shall be extremely minor or require seasonal opportunity to complete or subject to delayed completion items and shall not impair the functionality of the site.

The Contractor shall notify the COR, in writing as required by the General Conditions, as to the date when in its opinion all or a designated portion of the work will be substantially completed and ready for inspection.

Within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice, the COR will inspect to determine status of completion.

Should the COR determine that the Work is not substantially complete:

The COR promptly will so notify the Contractor in writing, giving the reasons therefore.

Notify COR when ready for reinspection.

The COR will reinspect the Work.

The Contractor shall be liable for expenses incurred by the USFS for reason of such Substantial Completion Reinspection.

When the COR concurs that the Work is substantially complete:

The COR will prepare a Punch List of items to be completed or corrected.

The COR will submit the Punch List to the Contractor for their written acceptance of the responsibilities assigned to them in the Punch List.

Once the Contractor executes the Punch List, the COR must be notified in writing.

Immediately following approval of Substantial Completion, the Contractor shall submit the following documents.

Final Pay Request with final adjustment of accounts stating all adjustments to the contract sum.

Previous change orders.

Deductions or uncorrected work.

Other adjustments.

Contractor's Certificate and Release Operation and Maintenance Manuals.

FINAL INSPECTION

Final Inspection: Final Inspection shall be defined as that period at which all work in the Contract is 100% complete and no minor details remain to be performed.

Final inspection shall not be made until all work under the contract is completed. The Contractor shall notify the COR in writing, at least 14 days prior to the date requested on which the work will be ready for final inspection.

Following notification, the COR will make an inspection of the Contractor's work and record any deficiencies on the Final Punch List. The Contractor shall immediately correct these deficiencies at their own expense and notify the COR in writing when all items have been corrected. The COR will re-inspect the work to assure correction of all deficiencies before release of amounts retained for minor, seasonal or delayed items. The Contractor shall be liable for all costs of reinspection when the Substantial Completion Punch List deficiencies have not been corrected at the time of the Final Inspection and reinspection is required.

Any reasonable delay by the COR in making final inspection shall not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for the work nor shall the USFS be held responsible for damages or claims for compensation on account of continuing overhead, maintenance, etc., occasioned by such a delay.

The Contractor, prior to requesting final payment, shall obtain and submit the following items to the COR for transmittal to the Government:

Written guarantees and warranties for materials and equipment.

Maintenance stock items; spare parts/items; special tools, where required.

During installation, notify authorities having jurisdiction at least 24 hours before inspection must be made. Perform tests specified below in presence of authorities having jurisdiction:

Roughing-in Inspection: Arrange for inspection of piping before concealing or closing-in after roughing-in and before setting fixtures.

Final Inspection: Arrange final inspection for authorities having jurisdiction to observe tests specified below and to ensure compliance with requirements.

Reinspection: If authorities having jurisdiction find that piping will not pass test or inspection, make required corrections and arrange for reinspection.

Reports: Prepare inspection reports and have them signed by authorities having jurisdiction.

Test domestic water piping as follows:

Fill domestic water piping. Check components to determine that they are not air bound and that piping is full of water.

Test for leaks and defects in new piping and parts of existing piping that have been altered, extended, or repaired. If testing is performed in segments, submit separate report for each test, complete with diagram of portion of piping tested.

Leave new, altered, extended, or replaced domestic water piping uncovered and unconcealed until it has been tested and approved. Expose work that was covered or concealed before it was tested.

Cap and subject piping to static water pressure of 50 psig (345 kPa) above operating pressure, without exceeding pressure rating of piping system materials. Isolate test source and allow to stand for four hours. Leaks and loss in test pressure constitute defects that must be repaired.

Repair leaks and defects with new materials and retest piping or portion thereof until satisfactory results are obtained.

Prepare reports for tests and required corrective action.

ADJUSTING

Perform the following adjustments before operation:

Close drain valves, hydrants, and hose bibbs.

Open shutoff valves to fully open position.

Open throttling valves to proper setting.

Adjust balancing valves in hot-water-circulation return piping to provide adequate flow.

Manually adjust ball-type balancing valves in hot-water-circulation return piping to provide flow of hot water in each branch.

Adjust calibrated balancing valves to flows indicated.

Remove plugs used during testing of piping and plugs used for temporary sealing of piping during installation.

Remove and clean strainer screens. Close drain valves and replace drain plugs.

Remove filter cartridges from housings and verify that cartridges are as specified for application where used and are clean and ready for use.

Check plumbing specialties and verify proper settings, adjustments, and operation.

CLEANING

Clean and disinfect potable domestic water piping as follows:

Purge new piping and parts of existing domestic water piping that have been altered, extended, or repaired before using.

Use purging and disinfecting procedures prescribed by authorities having jurisdiction or, if methods are not prescribed, procedures described in either AWWA C651, AWWA C652, UPC or as described below:

Flush piping system with clean, potable water until dirty water does not appear at outlets.

Fill and isolate system according to either of the following:

Fill system or part thereof with water/chlorine solution with at least 50 ppm (50 mg/L) of chlorine. Isolate with valves and allow to stand for 24 hours.

Fill system or part thereof with water/chlorine solution with at least 200 ppm (200 mg/L) of chlorine. Isolate and allow to stand for three hours.

Flush system with clean, potable water until the chlorine residual in the water coming from the system does not exceed the chlorine residual in the flushing water.

Submit water samples in sterile bottles to authorities having jurisdiction. Repeat procedures if bacteriological examination shows contamination.

Prepare and submit reports of purging and disinfecting activities.

Clean interior of domestic water piping system. Remove dirt and debris as work progresses.
