Unless otherwise specified, all sampling and testing shall be in accordance with the <br />methods prescribed in the current standards of the ASTM, as applicable to the class and <br />nature of the article or materials considered; however, the CITY reserves the right to use <br />any generally-accepted system of sampling and testing which, in the opinion of the <br />ENGINEER will insure the CITY that the quality of the workmanship is in full accord with <br />the Contract Documents. <br />B. Any waiver by the CITY of any specific testing or other quality assurance measures, <br />whether or not such waiver is accompanied by a guarantee of substantial performance <br />as a relief from the specified testing or other quality assurance requirements as originally <br />specified, and whether or not such guarantee is accompanied by a performance bond to <br />assure execution of any necessary corrective or remedial Work, shall not be construed <br />as a waiver of any requirements of the Contract Documents. <br />C. Notwithstanding the existence of such waiver, the ENGINEER reserves the right to make <br />independent investigations and tests and failure of any portion of the Work to meet any <br />of the requirements of the Contract Do cuments, shall be reasonable cause for the <br />ENGINEER to require the removal or correction and reconstruction of any such work in <br />accordance with the General Conditions. <br />1.02 SITE INVESTIGATION AND CONTROL <br />A.
