Such suspensions shall not be

1240LT23R0061 Page 5 of 43 considered as suspensions for the Convenience of the Government under FAR 52.242-14, Suspension of Work, and shall not qualify for equitable adjustment.

C.8 LANDSCAPE PRESERVATION AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

(a) The Contractor shall confine operations to within the clearing limits or other areas designated in the contract documents, and prevent the depositing of rocks, excavated materials, stumps, or other debris outside of these limits except as directed by the specifications. Material which falls outside of these limits shall be retrieved, disposed of, or incorporated in the work as directed by the Contracting Officer.

(b) Operation shall be scheduled and conducted to minimize erosion of soils and to prevent silting and muddying of streams, rivers, irrigation systems, lakes, reservoirs, and other surface waters.

Government inspection and test at all places and at all reasonable times before acceptance to ensure strict compliance with the terms of the contract.

C. Government inspections and tests are for the sole benefit of the Government and do not--

1. Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for providing adequate quality control measures;

2. Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for damage to or loss of the material before acceptance;

3. Constitute or imply acceptance; or

4. Affect the continuing rights of the Government after acceptance of the completed work under paragraph (I) below.

D. The presence or absence of a Government inspector does not relieve the Contractor from any contract requirement, nor is the inspector authorized to change any term or condition of the specification without the Contracting Officer's written authorization.

E. The Contractor shall promptly furnish, without additional charge, all facilities, labor, and material reasonably needed for performing such safe and convenient inspections and tests as may be required by the Contracting Officer. The Government may charge to the Contractor any additional cost of inspection or test when work is not ready at the time specified by the Contractor for inspection or test, or when prior rejection makes reinspection or retest necessary. The Government shall perform all inspections and tests in a manner that will not unnecessarily delay the work. Special, full size, and performance tests shall be performed as described in the contract.

F. The Contractor shall, without charge, replace or correct work found by the Government not to conform to contract requirements, unless in the public interest the Government consents to accept the work with an appropriate adjustment in contract price.

H. If, before acceptance of the entire work, the Government decides to examine already completed work by removing it or tearing it out, the Contractor, on request, shall promptly furnish all necessary facilities, labor, and material. If the work is found to be defective or nonconforming in any material respect due to the fault of the Contractor or its subcontractors, the Contractor shall defray the expenses of the examination and of satisfactory reconstruction. However, if the

1240LT23R0061 Page 8 of 43 work is found to meet contract requirements, the Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment for the additional services involved in the examination and reconstruction, including, if completion of the work was thereby delayed, an extension of time.

I. Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the Government shall accept, as promptly as practicable after completion and inspection, all work required by the contract or that portion of the work the Contracting Officer determines can be accepted separately.

Acceptance shall be final and conclusive except for latent defects, fraud, gross mistakes amounting to fraud, or the Government's rights under any warranty or guarantee.

C.11 CONSTRUCTION STAKES, LINES, AND GRADES

(a) Unless a Pay Item for Construction Staking is included in the Schedule of Items, the

Government will set initial construction stakes establishing lines, slopes, and continuous control points, reference lines, and benchmarks for other structures and improvements and will furnish the Contractor with all necessary information relating to lines, slopes, and grades.

(b) These stakes and control points shall constitute the field control from which the Contractor shall establish other necessary controls and execute the work. The Contractor shall furnish, without additional compensation, all additional stakes, all templates, batter boards, and other materials and supplies necessary for marking and maintaining points and lines established. If any construction control points have been destroyed or displaced or are erroneous, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer.

(c) The Contractor is responsible for the preservation of all stakes and control points. The cost of replacing them will be charged to the Contractor when destroyed due to Contractor's negligence or operation.
