If approved by the CO, actual test reports may be submitted later with a reference to the test number and date taken. Provide an information copy of tests performed by an offsite or commercial test facility directly to the CO. Failure to submit timely test reports as stated may result in nonpayment for related work performed and disapproval of the test facility for this Contract.

3.7.2 Testing Laboratories

The Government reserves the right to check laboratory equipment in the proposed laboratory for compliance with the standards set forth in the Contract specifications and to check the laboratory technician's testing procedures and techniques.

a. Validation. The validation of a testing laboratory is site-specific and cannot be transferred to a facility at a different location. Costs for validation by the Corps of Engineers MTC must be borne by the laboratory and/or the Contractor. Validation is granted only for the specific testing procedures requested to be validated. The laboratory may select the testing procedures to be validated, except for the Quality Assurance requirements of the applicable ASTM standards listed in this paragraph.

b. Validation Procedures. Validation of a testing laboratory consists of either an inspection or audit, as defined below:

(1) Inspection must be performed by the MTC to verify compliance with the applicable provisions of ASTM C1077, ASTM C1093, ASTM D3666, ASTM D3740, and ASTM E329.

(2) An audit would be performed by the MTC in lieu of an inspection for laboratories holding a current AASHTO accreditation. Inspection by the MTC may be required after auditing if critical testing procedures required in the Contract were not included in the applicable CCRL or AMRL inspections.

c. Validation Schedule. For aggregate, concrete, bituminous materials, soil, rock, riprap, and metal components, the frequency of validation inspections or audits is once every two years. For water quality and sediment testing the validation schedule is every 18 months. When conditions change substantially from the time of the last validation, laboratories must be re-validated.

d. Validation Process. For information on the validation process and costs contact the MTC at (601) 634-2496 or fax at (601) 634-3242.

Procedures for validation, including forms requesting validation may be obtained from the MTC web site at:

The Contractor is cautioned that the validation process is lengthy and that it requires immediate action. Keep the CO informed about the validation process as it proceeds in a timely manner.

3.7.3 Onsite Laboratory

The Government reserves the right to utilize the Contractor's control testing laboratory and equipment to make assurance tests, and to check the Contractor's testing procedures, techniques, and test results at no additional cost to the Government.

3.7.4 Furnishing or Transportation of Samples for Testing

Costs incidental to the transportation of samples or materials must be borne by the Contractor. Samples of materials for test verification and acceptance testing by the Government must be delivered to the Portland District contract commercial Laboratory in the District area. Coordination for each specific test, exact delivery location, and dates must be made through the Portland District Resident Office.

3.8 COMPLETION INSPECTION

3.8.1 Punch-Out Inspection

The CQC Manager must conduct an inspection of the work near the end of the work, or any increment of the work established by a time stated in the specifications, or the Contract Clause 52.211-10, COMMENCEMENT, PROSECUTION, AND COMPLETION OF WORK. As required by paragraph DOCUMENTATION, prepare and include in the CQC documentation a punch list of items which do not conform to the approved drawings and specifications.

Include within the list of deficiencies the estimated date by which the deficiencies will be corrected. The CQC System Manager or staff must make a second inspection to ascertain that all deficiencies have been corrected. Once this is accomplished, notify the Government that the facility is ready for the Government Pre-Final inspection.

3.8.2 Pre-Final Inspection

The Government will perform the pre-final inspection to verify that the work is complete. A Government Pre-Final Punch List may be developed as a result of this inspection. The Contractor's CQC System Manager must ensure that all items on this list have been corrected before notifying the Government, so that a Final inspection with the customer can be scheduled.

Correct any items noted on the Pre-Final inspection in a timely manner.

These inspections and any deficiency corrections required by this paragraph must be accomplished within the time slated for completion of the entire work or any particular increment of the work if the project is divided into increments by separate completion dates.

3.8.3 Final Acceptance Inspection

The Contractor's Quality Control Inspection personnel, plus the superintendent or other primary management person, and the CO must be in attendance at the final acceptance inspection. Additional Government personnel including, but not limited to, those from Base/Post Civil Facility Engineer user groups and major commands may also be in attendance. The final acceptance inspection will be formally scheduled by the CO based upon results of the Pre-Final inspection. Notify the CO at

SECTION 01 45 00.00 25 Page 10 least 14 days prior to the final acceptance inspection and include the Contractor's assurance that all specific items previously identified to the Contractor as being unacceptable, along with all remaining work performed under the Contract, will be complete and acceptable by the date scheduled for the final acceptance inspection. Failure of the Contractor to have all Contract work acceptably complete for this inspection will be cause for the CO to bill the Contractor for the Government's additional inspection cost in accordance with Contract Clause 52.246-12, INSPECTION OF CONSTRUCTION.
