§ 185.27 Authority of City Inspector
   (a)   Inspectors as designated by the City shall be authorized to inspect all work done and materials furnished. Such inspection may extend to all or any part of the work, and to the preparation or manufacture of the materials to be used. In case of any dispute arising between the contractor and the inspector as to materials furnished or the manner of performing the work, the inspector shall have the authority to reject materials or suspend the work until the question at issue can be referred to and decided by the City. The inspector shall not be authorized to stop the use of, alter, enlarge, relax or release any requirements of these specifications, nor to approve or accept any portion of the work or to issue instructions contrary to the plans and specifications. The inspector shall in no case act as foreman or perform other duties for the contractor or interfere with the management of the work by the latter. Any advice which the inspector may give the contractor shall in nowise be construed as binding the City in any way or releasing the contractor from the fulfillment of the terms of the contract.
   (b)   The contractor shall not be entitled to any claim for loss of time, damages or anticipated profit due to any time lost from suspension of work and from referral of the questions at issue to the director or his or her representative.
