(a) The contractor shall arrange and secure the presence of an independent inspection and/or testing laboratory, from among the list of approved laboratories maintained by Building Commissioner, if problems occur during such two years.
(b) The inspection may require under this section the completion of a form, to be promulgated by the Building Commissioner, which form certifies that the pour is conducted in compliance with the pertinent requirements of this chapter, and which form also certifies various physical criteria, including the amount of water added at the site and the area temperature at the time of pour. A separate form shall be required for each load used on the driveway, sidewalk or street.
(c) Such form shall be completed and signed by the representative of the concrete supplier and the contractor and shall be submitted to the Building Commissioner within one week and, in any event, prior to final inspection or approval by the City.
(d) Whenever a landowner is acting as his or her own contractor, he or she may sign a waiver exempting his or her own work from this section and waiving any subsequent claims against the City in connection therewith. However, such a waiver shall not be permitted in any instance where the actual work is to be performed by a contractor for a fee, even though the landowner names himself or herself at the general contractor.
(e) This section is also effective with respect to concrete which is poured to replace a previously existing hard surface driveway or sidewalk.
