1.10.1. GENERAL All materials and workmanship shall be subject to inspection by the COTR, ABS, the USCG and other regulatory bodies having jurisdiction. All inspection and observation of tests by the COTR will be performed in such a manner as not to unnecessarily delay the contract work. The COTR shall promptly approve all work and material conforming to the requirements of this Specification and shall promptly reject all work and materials, which do not conform. Such rejected work or material shall be satisfactorily corrected.

1.10.2. SCHEDULING & ATTENDANCE The CONTRACTOR is responsible for scheduling and presenting all completed work for Acceptance Inspections and for giving written ADEQUATE NOTICE of 24 HOURS to the COTR and other required inspection agencies that such work is complete, has been passed by the CONTRACTOR QA, and is ready for such inspection. Inspections shall, when possible, be scheduled and accomplished during normal workdays on the CONTRACTOR day shift.

The COTR will make every effort to maintain communications with the parties involved and to report to the inspection site per agreed schedule. If the COTR is unable to keep the schedule, he shall notify the CONTRACTOR as soon as possible and reschedule for a mutually agreeable time. Failure of the COTR to attend an inspection does not constitute an acceptance of the work. Inspections by ABS, the Coast Guard or other agency do not eliminate these requirements for inspection and acceptance by the COTR.

1.10.3. PREPARATIONS Work presented for inspection shall be complete in all respects, clean, free of debris, scrap, lines, welding wire ends and all temporary gear.

Reasonable accommodations shall have been made for access, lighting, and fresh air supply in advance of the inspection party.

1.10.4. COVERINGS Prior to the application/installation of paint, deck covering, insulation, sheathing, joiner work, ceilings, etc., all structure and weld that is to be covered will be given final inspection and will be signed off on by the COTR. It must be clearly understood by the CONTRACTOR that the COTR has the right and option to require removal of any or all coverings for inspection in areas that have not been previously inspected and passed. This requirement makes it essential

DTMA‐92‐Q‐2011‐0036 STATEMENT OF WORK Page 17 of 98 that weekend and night shift foremen, for both CONTRACTOR and Subcontractors, be in close communication with the QA Department and Project Manager.

1.10.5. RE‐INSPECTIONS Any welding, burning, heat shrinking, etc. which is performed as rework, repair, or on change orders after an inspection has been completed, may require (at the COTR's option) the removal of any or all coverings for re‐inspection of plate, welds, etc. This requirement will further emphasize the necessity of a formal QA Inspection process and the necessity for close communications between CONTRACTOR and COTR. An initial inspection in no way negates the requirement for re‐inspection if an area is reworked in any manner.

1.10.6. COMPARTMENT COMPLETIONS Living spaces, workspaces and control/machinery spaces shall be inspected and certified complete by the COTR and the CONTRACTOR representative. A compartment shall not be considered accepted until the inspection is complete, deficiencies are corrected, and the COTR and CONTRACTOR have signed off on the space. At this time, so far as is possible, the compartment shall be secured and no further work shall be conducted within the space unless approved by the mutual consent of the COTR and CONTRACTOR.

The intent of the foregoing paragraph is to guarantee that the OWNER will receive, at delivery, a fully operational vessel which is immediately capable of entering service. Any pre‐existing deficiencies not covered in these Specifications or Drawings will be subject to correction at the OWNER expense.

1.11. GUARANTEES All guarantees or warrantees shall begin at the completion of final acceptance the completed work detailed in the specification by the COTR.

1.12. MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP

1.12.4. STORAGE/PROTECTION All material and equipment intended for the vessel in any form shall be adequately stored and protected from the elements and shall be given appropriate security by the CONTRACTOR. Due consideration shall be given to the nature of particular equipment or material with storage and security mutually agreed upon by COTR and CONTRACTOR. Inside storage shall be required for all equipment and material that will be located on the interior of the vessel.

The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible during construction and prior to vessel delivery for the protection of all items installed with finished surfaces such as joiner panels, door frames, deck coverings, joiner ceilings, countertops, furniture, etc.

1.13. HULL PROTECTION

1.13.1. WELDING Rigid control of welding and grounding shall be maintained for the protection of hull and hull appendages.
