About this file
This document is a Schedule of Special Inspections for a federal construction contract. It details the required inspections and verifications to be performed by a special inspector during the construction of a steel-framed building, including welding, bolting, non-destructive testing, steel deck installation, cold-formed steel framing, concrete placement, masonry construction, and related structural and architectural components.
The related federal contract opportunity is for EHRM Infrastructure Upgrades Construction at the Memphis, TN VA Medical Center. This is a solicitation issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Technology Acquisition Center Austin. The document does not provide additional details about the specific construction project or contract requirements beyond the inspections outlined in the Schedule.

SCHEDULE OF SPECIAL INSPECTIONS (01 45 35) REVISED FOR IBC 2015 ON 9/30/16
SCHEDULE OF SPECIAL INSPECTIONS
Reference 01 45 35 for all requirements not noted as part of this schedule.
INSPECTION DEFINITIONS:
PERFORM: Perform these tasks for each weld, fastener or bolted connection, and noted verification.
OBSERVE: Observe these items randomly during the course of each work day to insure that applicable requirements are being met. Operations need not be delayed pending these inspections at contractor’s risk.
DOCUMENT: Document, with a report, that the work has been performed in accordance with the contract documents. This is in addition to any other reports required in the Special Inspections guide specification.
CONTINUOUS: Constant monitoring of identified tasks by a special inspector over the duration of performance of said tasks.
DESIGNER NOTES (to be deleted after reviewing):
1. This schedule contains minimum requirements. Do not delete applicable inspection tasks unless notes in blue indicate it is acceptable to do so.
2. Blue text = designers notes. The designer must review and edit all blue text in this schedule prior to inserting this schedule into the special inspections spec (UFGS 01 45 35).
3. Check section boxes with ANY inspection tasks applicable to your project. You may choose to delete unchecked sections or leave them in the scheduled unchecked.
4. Individual rows/tasks that that are not applicable to the project may be left in the section, as the inspector can determine whether they occur/apply (e.g. metal trusses in the light gauge framing section for example).
5. Design discipline sections are color coded for easier reference by designers. This schedule does NOT need to be printed in color.
6. When finished editing, delete this note box and save this schedule as a PDF and insert into the project specifications (special inspections section).
