(a) The construction of privately financed and publicly financed sanitary sewerage facilities shall be subject to inspection by the Director of Sanitary Sewer Services to insure compliance with the approved plans, specifications, and standards. Inspection by the County shall not relieve the contractor or developer from the responsibility to provide properly constructed facilities.
(b) County inspectors are authorized to inspect, approve or reject materials and workmanship required by the approved plans, specifications and standards. The inspectors are not authorized to alter or waive requirements to the agreement, plans, specifications or standards. Any material alteration or waiver shall be approved by the Director or an authorized design engineer.
(c) Any work which is rejected or which does not conform to the approved plans, specifications and standards shall be considered unacceptable work. All unacceptable work shall be removed immediately and replaced in an acceptable manner.
(d) In the event of a dispute between the contractor and the County's inspector, the matter shall be immediately referred to the inspector's supervisor or superiors whose decision shall be final. Further appeals may be initiated by the contractor as provided in Section 927.13.
(e) No person shall assault, intimidate or threaten an inspector or any other County employee during the performance of job duties related to the construction of sanitary sewerage or water distribution facilities. Violation of this provision shall be grounds for suspension or revocation of the contractor's sewer layer registration and/or suspension from doing any County sewer or water work within the Metropolitan Sewer District for a period of time to be determined by the Director.
