All construction work involving the installation of improvements in LaVerkin City shall be subject to the city's inspection and testing as outlined in this section.
A. The contractor shall give the LaVerkin City representative at least twenty four (24) hours' notice of readiness of the work for all required inspections, tests, or approvals. If an inspection is called in prior to work completion and inspection is made, such inspection shall not be a guarantee of acceptance of unfinished work or material. Any retesting of work or materials rejected by the LaVerkin City representative, after the initial testing, shall be at the contractor's expense until a retest meets the requirements of the submitted documents.
B. LaVerkin City representatives, testing agencies and governmental agencies with jurisdictional interests will have access to the work at reasonable times for their observation, inspecting and testing. The contractor shall provide proper and safe conditions for such access.
C. Material testing shall be conducted by an independent laboratory approved by LaVerkin City at the contractor's expense. All testing shall comply with current ASTM, AASHTO, AWWA, or public drinking water regulation standards, or as specified in special provisions of the contract and shall meet the minimum testing requirements as outlined in the specifications. The cost of any retesting required to bring materials into specification shall be borne by the contractor. If determined necessary by LaVerkin City, additional testing may be required.
D. If any work is covered contrary to the request of the LaVerkin City representative, it must, if requested, be uncovered for city observation/inspection and replaced at the contractor's expense. Any work to be backfilled or covered shall not be backfilled or covered prior to inspection. (Ord. 2006-22, 7-5-2006; amd. Ord. 2007-24, 8-15-2007)
