Notice shall be given to the Contracting Officer at least fourteen (14) days prior to the final acceptance inspection and shall 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 Contracting Officer to bill the Contractor for the Government's additional inspection cost in accordance with FAR 52.246-12 - Inspection of Construction.
3.10 CONSTRUCTION INSPECTIONS
AR 350-19 mandates two inspections, a Construction Compliance Inspection (CCI), and a Target Interface Inspection (TII) during the construction phase of a range project.
SECTION 01 45 04.10 06 Page 10
The CCI is an inspection to ensure the construction contractor understands the concept for constructing each target type. At the CCI, the contractor will provide one emplacement of each type for inspection. (Mock-up emplacements must include all elements of work required for a fully constructed emplacement.) The CCI should occur early in the construction period to minimize re-work by the contractor. It is recommended that the contractor only purchase the materials necessary for the construction the emplacements demonstrated at the CCI.
The TII is a final inspection conducted near the completion of the construction phase of a range project. The TII includes an inspection of all targets, features, and facilities interfaces required by the target system. This inspection validates the construction will interface with standard Army targetry. The transition between the construction contractor and the target installer is coordinated during the TII. The TII generates a list of all deficient interface items requiring correction with a designation of responsibility for the correction. A formal MFR Target Interface Inspection Deficiencies List signed by the Government construction contract Contracting Officer (KO) or the Contracting Officers Representative (COR), verifying that all TII deficiencies have been corrected, must be submitted to the MCX prior to issuing notice to proceed to the target installer.
3.10.1 CONSTRUCTION COMPLIANCE INSPECTION (CCI)
The Government will perform a Construction Compliance Inspection (CCI) to assess construction progress and to identify problem areas with target interface items early to avoid costly and extensive corrective actions and project delays at the Target Interface Inspection (TII).
