The Contractor shall submit a written request to the cognizant Contracting Officer to schedule the final inspection. The Contractor shall submit the request for final inspection in the method and manner prescribed by the task order.

Once the Contractor has requested a final inspection, the

Government inspector may conduct a pre-final inspection. The Contractor shall correct any discrepancies noted prior to the final inspection.

1.2. Final Inspection. The Contractor shall ensure the job site is thoroughly cleaned after construction. The Government will not accept the work until the site satisfies the final inspection.

The cognizant Contracting Officer reserves the right to decline the Contractor’s request for a final inspection or suspend a final inspection when it is evident that the Contractor is not ready for the inspection. The time period required for advance notice prior to a requested re-inspection for completed punch list items shall be specified at the task order level.

The drawings shall also note the average depth below the surface of each run, size and type of material.

2.2.4. There may be instances when record drawings will not be to the advantage of the Government or the Contractor.
