E - Inspection and Acceptance

52.246-12 Inspection of Construction. (AUG 1996)

(a) Definition. Work includes, but is not limited to, materials, workmanship, and manufacture and fabrication of components.

(b) The Contractor shall maintain an adequate inspection system and perform such inspections as will ensure that the work performed under the contract conforms to contract requirements. The

Contractor shall maintain complete inspection records and make them available to the

Government. All work shall be conducted under the general direction of the Contracting Officer and is subject to Government inspection and test at all places and at all reasonable times before acceptance to ensure strict compliance with the terms of the contract.

(c) Government inspections and tests are for the sole benefit of the Government and do not -

(1) Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for providing adequate quality control measures;

(2) Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for damage to or loss of the material before acceptance;

(3) Constitute or imply acceptance; or

(4) Affect the continuing rights of the Government after acceptance of the completed work under paragraph (i) below.

(d) The presence or absence of a Government inspector does not relieve the Contractor from any contract requirement, nor is the inspector authorized to change any term or condition of the specification without the Contracting Officer's written authorization.

(e) The Contractor shall promptly furnish, at no increase in contract price, all facilities, labor, and material reasonably needed for performing such safe and convenient inspections and tests as may be required by the Contracting Officer. The Government may charge to the Contractor any additional cost of inspection or test when work is not ready at the time specified by the Contractor for inspection or test, or when prior rejection makes reinspection or retest necessary. The

Government shall perform all inspections and tests in a manner that will not unnecessarily delay the work. Special, full size, and performance tests shall be performed as described in the contract.

(f) The Contractor shall, without charge, replace or correct work found by the Government not to conform to contract requirements, unless in the public interest the Government consents to accept the work with an appropriate adjustment in contract price. The Contractor shall promptly segregate and remove rejected material from the premises.

(g) If the Contractor does not promptly replace or correct rejected work, the Government may (1) by contract or otherwise, replace or correct the work and charge the cost to the Contractor or (2) terminate for default the Contractor's right to proceed.

(h) If, before acceptance of the entire work, the Government decides to examine already completed work by removing it or tearing it out, the Contractor, on request, shall promptly furnish all necessary facilities, labor, and material. If the work is found to be defective or nonconforming in any material respect due to the fault of the Contractor or its subcontractors, the Contractor shall defray the expenses of the examination and of satisfactory reconstruction. However, if the work is found to meet contract requirements, the Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment for the additional services involved in the examination and reconstruction, including, if completion of the work was thereby delayed, an extension of time.

(i) Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the Government shall accept, as promptly as practicable after completion and inspection, all work required by the contract or that portion of the work the Contracting Officer determines can be accepted separately. Acceptance shall be final and conclusive except for latent defects, fraud, gross mistakes amounting to fraud, or the

Government's rights under any warranty or guarantee.

(End of clause)

52.246-S0038 Smithsonian Institution Inspection and Acceptance (Jun 2000)

Inspection and acceptance may be made on a daily basis on work performed at the job site, by the

Contracting Officers Technical Representative. All work shall be coordinated through the COTR for acceptance of work, payrolls and invoice(s).

52.246-S0039 Final Inspection and Tests (Jun 2000)

The requirements of the Inspection of Construction clause prescribed in FAR 52.246-12, are supplemented to provide that the Contractor shall give the Contracting Officer at least 10 calendar days advance written notice of the date the work will be fully completed and ready for final inspection and tests. Final inspection and tests will be started within 10 calendar days from the date specified in the aforesaid notice unless the

Contracting Officer determines that the work is not ready for final inspection and so informs the

Contractor.

52.246-S0057 Inspection

(a) Upon proper notice and during normal working hours, the Smithsonian Institution reserves the right to perform any inspections and tests as deemed necessary to assure that the Contractor is performing in accordance with the terms and specifications as set forth herein.

(b) Inspection may be at the Contractor's place of business or at any location where work is being performed in conjunction with this contract.

(c) Inspection by the Smithsonian Institution shall not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for any or all quality control aspects during the life of the contract. This shall include quality control for items covered by this contract that may be subcontracted.

F - Deliveries or Performance

52.211-S0025 Commencement, Prosecution, and Completion of Work (Jun 2000)

(a) Definitions.

(1) The Contract Time is the period of time allotted in the Contract Documents for Final Completion of the

Work as defined in this Construction Contract Clause, including authorized extensions thereto. The

Contractor shall complete his Work within the Contract Time as stated in the SF 1442, or as modified.

(2) The date of commencement of the Work is the date established in the Notice To Proceed issued by the

C.O. Submission by the Contractor of its Performance and Payment Bonds, Preliminary Schedule and all

Certificates of Insurance and their approval by the S.I. are conditions precedent to the issuance of the

Notice to Proceed. The Contractor shall not commence the Work or store materials or equipment on site until written Notice to Proceed is issued or until the Contractor otherwise receives the written consent of the C.O.

(3) The date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof is the date certified by the

COTR when the Work or a designated portion thereof is sufficiently complete, in accordance with the

Contract Documents, so the S.I. can fully occupy the Work or designated portion thereof for the use for which it is intended, with all of the Project's parts and systems operable as required by the Contract

Documents. Only punch list work and any final cleaning beyond that needed for the S.I.'s full use may remain for Final Completion.

(4) The date of Final Completion of the Work is the date certified by the COTR when the Work is totally complete, to include punch list work and final clean up, in accordance with the Contract Documents and the

S.I. may fully occupy and fully utilize the Work for the use for which it is intended.

(5) If a date or time of completion is included in the Contract, it shall be the Date of Final Completion as defined in this Construction Contract Clause, including authorized extensions thereto, unless otherwise provided.

(6) The term Day as used in the Contract Documents shall mean calendar day unless otherwise specifically designated. All dates shall mean midnight of the indicated day unless otherwise stipulated.

(b) Progress and Completion.

(1) All time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of the essence of the Contract.

(2) The Contractor shall prosecute the Work diligently to Final Completion.

(c) Delays and Extensions of Time.

(1) The time during which the Contractor is delayed in the performance of the Work, by the acts or omissions of the S.I., the Architect, or their employees or agents, acts of God, unusually severe and abnormal climatic conditions, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, riots, civil commotion or freight embargoes, or other conditions beyond the Contractor's control and which the

Contractor could not reasonably have foreseen and provided against, shall be added to the Contract Time;

provided, however, that no claim by the Contractor for an extension of time for delays will be considered unless made in compliance with the requirements of this Article and other provisions of the Contract

Documents.

(2) Neither the S.I., nor the Architect shall be obligated or liable to the Contractor for, and the Contractor hereby expressly waives any claims against the S.I. and the Architect on account of any indirect or direct damages, costs or expenses of any nature which the Contractor, Subcontractors, of Suppliers or any other person may incur as a result of any delays, interference, changes in sequence or the like, which are reasonable, foreseeable, contemplated, or avoidable by the Contractor, arising from or out of any act or omission of the S.I. of the Architect, or their agents, employees, consultants, separate contractors or any governmental representative, it being understood and agreed that the Contractor's sole and exclusive remedy in any such events shall be an extension of the Contract Time, but only as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Contract Documents.

(3) The Contract Time shall be adjusted only for Change Orders pursuant to the Construction Contract

Clause entitled "Changes", excusable delays pursuant to Construction Contract Clause entitled "Delays and

Extensions of Time" and Construction Contract Clause entitled "Smithsonian Institution's Right to Stop or to Suspend the Work". In the event the Contractor requests an extension of the Contract Time, he shall furnish such justification and supporting evidence as the C.O. may deem necessary for a determination of whether the Contractor is entitled to an extension of time under the provisions of the Contract. The burden of proof to substantiate a claim for an extension of the Contract Time shall rest with the Contractor, including evidence that the cause was beyond his control. The C.O. shall base his findings of fact and decision on such justification and supporting evidence and shall advise the Contractor in writing thereof. If the C.O. finds that the Contractor is entitled to any extension of the Contract Time, the C.O.'s determination of the total number of days' extension shall be based upon the currently approved Progress Schedule and on all data relevant to the extension. Such data will be incorporated into the Progress Schedule in the form of a revision thereto, accomplished in a timely manner. The Contractor acknowledges and agrees that actual delays (due to said changes, suspensions of work or excusable delays) in activities which, according to the

Progress Schedule, do not affect the Contract Time, do not have any effect upon the Contract Time and therefore will not be the basis for a change therein. The Contractor acknowledges and agrees that time extensions will be granted only to the extent that excusable delays exceed the available float in the

Contractor's Progress Schedule.

(4) Subject to other provisions of the Contract, the Contractor may be entitled to an extension of the

Contract Time (but no increase in the Contract Price) for delays arising from unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor, his Subcontractors or Suppliers as follows:

(i) Labor disputes and strikes (including strikes affecting transportation), that do, in fact, directly and critically affect the progress of the Work; however, an extension of Contract time on account of an individual labor strike shall not exceed the number of days of said strike;

(ii) Acts of God, tornado, fire, hurricane, blizzard, earthquake, typhoon, or flood that damage completed work or stored materials.

(iii) Abnormal inclement weather; however, the Contract Time will not be extended due to normal inclement weather. The time for performance of this Contract, as stated in the Contract Documents, includes an allowance for calendar days, which may not be available for construction out-of-doors; for the purposes of the Contract, the Contractor agrees that said number of calendar days per month are to be considered as normal inclement weather. Unless the Contractor can substantiate to the satisfaction of the

S.I. that there was greater than normal inclement weather considering the full term of the Contract Time using a ten year average of accumulated record mean values from climatological data compiled by the U.S.

Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for the locale of the Project and that such alleged greater than normal inclement weather actually delayed the Work or portions thereof which had an effect upon the Contract Time, the Contractor shall not be entitled to an extension of time. If the total accumulated number of calendar days lost due to inclement weather, from the start of Work until

Final Completion, exceeds the total accumulated number to be expected for the same period from the aforesaid climatological data, time for completion will be extended by the number of calendar days needed to include the excess number of calendar days lost.

(iv) Acts of the public enemy, acts of the state, Federal or local government in its sovereign capacity, and acts of a separate contractor in the performance of its contract with the S.I. relating to the Project.

(5) The Contractor shall not be entitled to and hereby expressly waives any extension of time resulting from any conditions or cause unless said claim for extensions of time is made in writing to the C.O. within seven

(7) days of the first instance of delay. Circumstances and activities leading to such claim shall be indicated or referenced in a daily field inspection report for the day(s) affected; otherwise, all such claims are waived by the Contractor. In every such written claim, the Contractor shall provide the following information:

(i) Nature of the delay;

(ii) Date (or anticipated date) of commencement of delay;

(iii) Activities on the Progress Schedule affected by the delay, and/or new activities created by the delay and their relationship with existing activities;

(iv) Identification of person(s) or organizations(s) or event(s) responsible for the delay;

(v) Anticipated extent of the delay;

(vi) Recommended action to avoid or minimize the delay.

(d) Responsibility for Completion.

(1) The Contractor shall furnish such manpower, materials, facilities and equipment and shall work such hours, including night shifts, overtime operations and Sundays and holidays, as may be necessary to insure the progress and completion of the Work in accordance with the approved and currently updated Progress

Schedule. If Work actually in place falls behind the currently updated and approved Progress Schedule and it becomes apparent from the current Progress Schedule that the Work will not be completed within the

Contract Time, the Contractor agrees that he will, as necessary, take some or all of the following actions at no additional cost to the S.I., as required to eliminate substantially the backlog of the Work:

(i) Increase manpower in quantities and crafts necessary

(ii) Increase the number of work hours per shift, shifts per working day, working days per week, the amount of equipment, or any combination of the foregoing; and/or

(iii) Re-schedule activities to achieve maximum practical concurrence.

(2) The COTR may require the Contractor to submit a Recovery Schedule in accordance with the

Supplementary Construction Contract Clause, demonstrating his program and proposed plan to make up the lag in scheduled progress and to ensure completion of the Work within the Contract Time. If the COTR finds the proposed plan not acceptable, he may require the Contractor to submit a new plan. If the actions taken by the Contractor or the second plan proposed are not satisfactory, the COTR may require the contractor to take any of the actions set forth in this Construction Contract Clause without additional costs to the S.I., to make up the lag in scheduled progress.

(3) Failure of the Contractor to comply substantially with the requirements of this Construction Contract

Clause may be considered grounds for a determination by the S.I., pursuant to the Construction Contract

Clause entitled "Default", that the Contractor is failing to prosecute the Work with the sufficient diligence to ensure its completion with the Contract Time.

52.228-S0081 Period of Performance-Bonds & Insurance-Construction

Contractor must submit approved Certificate of Insurance and Performance/Payment Bonds within ten (10) days of contract award.

52.236-S0036 Smithsonian Institution's Right to Stop or to Suspend the Work (Jun 2000)

(a) If the Contractor fails to correct defective Work as required by the

Construction Contract Clause entitled "Correction of Work” or fails to carry out the Work or supply labor and materials in accordance with the

Contract Documents, the C.O. by a written order may order the

Contractor to stop the Work, or any portion thereof, without monetary compensation to the Contractor until the cause for such order has been eliminated.

(b) The Contracting Officer may order the Contractor, in writing, to suspend, delay, or interrupt all or any part of the Work for such period of time as he may determine to be appropriate for the convenience of the

S.I.

(c) If the performance of all or any part of the Work is, for an unreasonable period of time, suspended, delayed, or interrupted by the

S.I. or its authorized representatives in the administration of this

Contract, or by failure of any one of them to act within the time specified in this Contract (or if no time is specified, within a reasonable time), an adjustment shall be made for an increase in the actual time required for performance of the Work by the Contractor, due solely to such unreasonable suspension, delay, or interruption and the Contract modified in writing accordingly. However, no claim for an extension of time shall be made under this Construction Contract Clause for any suspension, delay, or interruption pursuant to this Construction Contract

Clause, or for which claim is provided or excluded under any other provision of this Contract. No claim under this Construction Contract

Clause shall be allowed for any claim for an extension of time required for performance, unless within twenty (20) days after the act or failure to act involved, the Contractor submits to the COTR a written statement setting forth, as then practicable, the extent of such claimed time extension and unless the claim for an extension of time is asserted in writing as soon as practicable after the termination of such suspension, delay, or interruption. No claim shall be made for direct or indirect costs incurred by Contractor as a result of the events described in this

Construction Contract Clause, a time extension being the Contractor's sole remedy.

(d) A claim under this clause shall not be allowed (1) for any costs incurred more than twenty (20) days before the Contractor shall have notified the Contracting Officer in writing of the act or failure to act involved (but this requirement shall not apply as to a claim resulting from a suspension order), and (2) unless the claim, in an amount stated, is asserted in writing as soon as practicable after the termination of the suspension, delay, or interruption, but not later than the date of final payment under the contract.

(e) In the event of a suspension of work or delay or interruption of work, the Contractor will and will cause his subcontractors to protect carefully his, and their materials and work against damage or injury from the weather and maintain completed and uncompleted portions of the work as required by the Contract Documents. If, in the opinion of the COTR, any work or material shall have been damaged or injured by reason of failure on the part of the Contractor or any of his subcontractors to so protect same, such work and materials shall be removed and replaced at the expense of the Contractor.

(f) No claim by the Contractor for an equitable adjustment under the

Construction Contract Clause entitled "Equitable Adjustments", shall be allowed if asserted after Final Payment under this Contract.

52.246-S0041 Additional Warranties and Guarantees (Jun 2000)

Work" and "Correction of Work".

(c) The warranties set forth in this Construction Contract Clause entitled "Additional Warranties and

Guarantees" and elsewhere in the Contract Documents shall survive Final Completion of the Work under the Construction Contract Clause entitled "Payments and Completion".

(d) If, within one year after the Date of Final Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof or within one year after acceptance by the S.I. of designated equipment or within such longer period of time as may be prescribed by law or by the terms of any applicable special warranty required by the Contract

Documents, any of the Work is found to be defective, not in accordance with the Contract Documents, or not in accordance with the guarantees and warranties specified in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall correct it within five (5) working days, or such other period as mutually agreed, after receipt of a written notice from the COTR to do so.

(e) Any materials or other portions of the Work, installed, furnished or stored on site which are not of the character or quality required by the specifications, or are otherwise not acceptable to the COTR, shall be immediately removed and replaced by the Contractor to the satisfaction of the COTR, when notified to do so by the COTR.
