5.1. In-process Inspection and Testing (Field):

5.1.1. The Contractor shall inspect the test weights for form, fit, and function. The contractor shall ensure the test weights nest when stacked, including set A weights stacked on set B, and are level when lifted by the sling channels. Weight A.10 is not expected to stack on any other weights. After the Contractor’s preliminary inspection and operational test of each weight is complete, the Contactor shall notify the Government.

5.1.2. The contactor shall test the weights in the following manner to ensure adequate strength and construction:

5.1.2.1. Weights shall be lifted by synthetic slings only.

5.1.2.2. Stack A assembled and lifted.

5.1.2.3. Stack B assembled and lifted.

5.1.3. At the option of the Government, a site inspection will be conducted by the Government along with the Contractor. The Contractor will make the test weights available for Government witnessing of the inspection and operational testing. The Contractor will be prepared to stack / un-stack the test weights and lift test weights using slings in sling channels as needed during the visit. Upon completion of the field inspection and testing, a “punch” list of deficient items will be compiled and signed by the Government representative (if applicable) and forwarded to the Contracting Officer.

5.1.3.1. At the option of the Government, the Government may request photos of the weights during the manufacturing process instead of an in-person visitation. Details should include a representative sample of welds, different weight constructions, general dimensions, and photos of some of the lift tests performed to verify function.
