1. The above System Test is intended to reveal system characteristics when operating in a series of different design conditions as well as to reveal operational deficiencies. It is not intended as a substitute for the individual requirements for items defined in the detailed sections of these specifications and all items will be accepted in accordance with those individual requirements.

2. Deficiencies of specified items during the System Test will be remedied during the System Test and that operational phase may be repeated (with the Owner) as necessary to assure compliance with the specifications.

Deficiencies not corrected during the System Test shall be documented by the Contractor for corrective action. The Contractor shall add to the list any un-corrected deficiencies detected by the COR.

3. If during the System Test, components or subsystems are found by the

COR to be inoperable or not substantially complete (due to the

Contractor’s failure to properly install them per the Drawings, Specifications and manufacturer’s instruction or failure to complete the

Component Startups) such that in the opinion of the COR typical system-wide operation cannot be demonstrated, the Contractor shall pay for the

COR’s time and travel expenses for all subsequent system test(s).

4. All automatic and manual modes of operation shall be demonstrated by the

Contractor. Modes and ranges are identified in the Drawings and technical

Specification Sections; for example, per the note regarding flow range on

Sheet P-8, various filtered water pumps shall be operated to achieve filtered water flow from 25 to 150 gpm.

5. If it is determined that permanent system or detail changes are required other than the normal adjustments and good practice, such changes might be done by change order.
