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) of this section.

(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 re-inspection 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

If the quantity of a unit-priced item in this contract is an estimated quantity and the actual quantity of the unit-priced item varies more than 15 percent above or below the estimated quantity, an equitable adjustment in the contract price shall be made upon demand of either party. The equitable adjustment shall be based upon any increase or decrease in costs due solely to the variation above 115 percent or below 85 percent of the estimated quantity. If the quantity variation is such as to cause an increase in the time necessary for completion, the Contractor may request, in writing, an extension of time, to be received by the Contracting Officer within 10 days from the beginning of the delay, or within such further period as may be granted by the Contracting Officer before the date of final settlement of the contract. Upon the receipt of a written request for an extension, the Contracting Officer shall ascertain the facts and make an adjustment for extending the completion date as, in the judgement of the Contracting Officer, is justified.

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

(1) by an act of the Contracting Officer in the administration of this contract, or (2) by the Contracting Officer's failure to act within the time specified in this contract (or within a reasonable time if not specified), an adjustment shall be made for any increase in the cost of performance of this contract (excluding profit) necessarily caused by the unreasonable suspension, delay, or interruption, and the contract modified in writing accordingly. However, no adjustment shall be made under this clause for any suspension, delay, or interruption to the extent that performance would have been so suspended, delayed, or interrupted by any other cause, including the fault or negligence of the Contractor, or for which an equitable adjustment is provided for or excluded under any other term or condition of this contract.

(c) A claim under this clause shall not be allowed—

(1) For any costs incurred more than 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

WBR 1452.236-84 PRESERVATION OF CULTURAL RESOURCES – BUREAU OF RECLAMATION (MAR 2022)

(a) Definitions.

"Cultural items" as defined by Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) include Native American human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects, and objects of cultural patrimony.

"Cultural resources" is a broad term that includes prehistoric, historic, architectural, and traditional cultural properties; specific items include, but are not limited to, human skeletal remains, archaeological artifacts, records, and material remains related to such properties.

"Funerary objects" means Native American items that, as part of the death rite or ceremony of a culture, are reasonably believed to have been placed intentionally at the time of death or later with or near individual human remains.

"Human remains" means the physical remains of the body of a person.

"Native American" means of, or relating to, a tribe, people, or culture that is indigenous to the United States.

"Sacred objects" means Native American items that are specific ceremonial objects needed by traditional Native American religious leaders for the practice of traditional Native American religions by their present-day adherents. These items are specifically limited to objects that were devoted to a traditional Native American religious ceremony or ritual and which have religious significance or function in the continued observance or renewal of such ceremony.

"Objects of cultural patrimony" means Native American items having ongoing historical, traditional, or cultural importance central to the Native American tribe or Native Hawaiian organization itself, rather than property owned by an individual tribal or organization member. These objects are of such central importance that they may not be alienated, appropriated, or conveyed by any individual tribal or organization member.

(b) General. Federal legislation provides for the protection and preservation of cultural resources that may be impacted or altered as a result of any Federal project, activity, or program or federally licensed or assisted project, activity, or program.

(c) Discovery of Resources. Should the Contractor, or any of the Contractor's employees, subcontractors, or parties operating or associated with the Contractor, in the performance of this contract discover evidence of possible cultural resources, the Contractor shall immediately cease work at that location and provide oral notification to the contracting officer, giving location and nature of the findings. The Contractor shall forward a written report of findings to the Contracting Officer within 48 hours.

(i) If a cultural resource is determined by Reclamation to be a Native American cultural item, then the Contractor shall cease the activity in the area of the discovery, make a reasonable effort to protect the items discovered, and wait for written approval from the Contracting Officer before resuming activity.

(ii) If the discovery occurs on tribal lands, the Contractor shall immediately orally notify the responsible tribal official and the Contracting Officer and follow with written confirmation within 48 hours to the responsible tribal official and the contracting officer. (The contracting officer will supply the name and phone number of the tribal official.

(iii) The Contractor shall exercise care so as not to disturb or damage any cultural resources discovered during the execution of this contract and shall provide such cooperation and assistance as may be necessary to preserve the findings for removal or other disposition by Reclamation. The Contractor shall not resume work in the area of a discovery until written notice to proceed is received from the contracting officer.

(d) Approval of Use Areas and Borrow Sources. If the Contractor proposes to use a location other than an approved location (approved locations to be provided by the contracting officer), the location(s) must first be approved for use by the contracting officer. When considering an unapproved use area or borrow source, the Contractor shall submit a map showing the location to the contracting officer at least 45 calendar days in advance of any proposed use. The Contractor or his subcontractors shall take no action to use or alter the proposed location until written approval is provided by the contracting officer.

(e) Compensation for Delays. Where appropriate by reason of discovery, the contracting officer may order changes in the schedule or work. If such delays or changes are ordered, any equitable adjustment under the contract will be provided in accordance with the applicable clauses of the contract.
