14. INSPECTION:

14.1. All work is subject to inspection and testing by the Government at all places and at all reasonable times before acceptance, as required by the contract. Government inspections and tests do not relieve the contractor of the responsibility for providing adequate quality control measures, nor does it constitute or imply Government acceptance of the work. The presence or absence of a Government inspector does not relieve the Contractor of complying with the specified requirements, nor is the Government inspector authorized to change any term or condition of the specification without the Contracting Officer’s written authorization.

14.2. Failure to obtain inspection for designated work may result in a requirement for re-performance of installed work (at no additional cost to the Government) to prove compliance before approving progress payments, at the discretion of the Contracting Officer.

14.3. The Government may require the Contractor to “hold” construction (construction hold point) after installing pre-identified work so the Government may verify conformance to the specifications. In order to prevent unreasonable downtime, the Contractor shall coordinate the date/time that the subject work will be ready for inspection with the Government COR, QAR, and PM a minimum of 48 hours in advance of reaching the estimated construction hold point. The Contractor shall keep the Government COR, QAR, and PM updated on progress after the 48-hour notification so a site inspection can be accurately scheduled. The Contractor shall hold subsequent work on the affected features until the designated construction has been accepted by the Government. If the Government elects to require hold points for designated features of work, those features of work will be identified at or prior to the pre-construction meeting or as agreed upon between the Contractor and the Government during construction.

14.4. Beneficial Occupancy Inspection/Pre-Final Inspection, Final Inspection and Acceptance:

14.4.1.

The Contractor's Quality Control personnel, Superintendent or other primary management person, and the Government shall be in attendance at the BOIs, pre-final inspections, and the final acceptance inspection.

Prior to each BOI/pre-final inspection, Contractor will conduct a punch-out inspection to identify any work still required to be done, identify work that needs to be corrected, and identify any work that cannot be completed. Contractor will record results of inspection and correct or complete as many of the items on the punch-out inspection as possible. For any items that cannot be completed, Contractor will annotate all such items with anticipated date for completion/correction. Once as many deficiencies as possible have been completed, the Contactor may request a BOI/pre-final inspection. Contractor shall provide an annotated punch-out inspection list with the request and shall give the Government at least five (5) working days advance notice before the requested date of BOI and/or pre-final inspection.

The Contractor shall record the results of the BOI/pre- final inspections. Any items noted on the BOI/pre-final inspection shall be corrected in a timely manner or the uncorrected items shall be annotated with a projected date for correction.

Contractor will consolidate and record results of all punch-out and BOI/pre-final inspections and correct or complete as many of the items on the punch-out and pre-final inspection as possible. For any items that cannot be completed, Contractor will annotate all such items with anticipated date for completion/correction. Once as many deficiencies as possible have been completed, the Contactor may request a final inspection. Contractor shall provide an annotated consolidated punch-out and pre-final inspection list with the request and shall give the Government at least five

(5) working days advance notice before the requested date of final inspection.

14.4.3. The final acceptance inspection will be formally scheduled by the Contractor based upon results of the BOIs and pre-final inspections. Failure of the Contractor to have all contract work acceptably complete for this inspection will be cause for the Contracting Officer (KO) to bill the Contractor for the Government's additional inspection cost in accordance with the requirements set forth in the contract.

14.4.4. Upon acceptance, Contractor shall provide COR with primary and alternate warranty

POCs.
