C. The ENGINEER OF RECORD will make, or have made, such inspections and
<br /> test as the ENGINEER OF RECORD deems necessary to see that the Work is
<br /> being accomplished in accordance with the requirements of the Contract
<br /> Documents. Unless otherwise specified in the Supplementary General
<br /> Conditions, the cost of such inspection and testing will be borne by the OWNER.
<br /> In the event such inspections or tests reveal non-compliance with the
<br /> requirements of the Contract Documents, the CONTRACTOR shall bear the cost
<br /> of corrective measures deemed necessary by the ENGINEER OF RECORD, as
<br /> well as the cost of subsequent re-inspection and retesting. Neither observations
<br /> by the ENGINEER OF RECORD nor inspections, tests, or approvals by others
<br /> shall relieve the CONTRACTOR from the CONTRACTOR's obligation to perform
<br /> the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
<br /> D. All inspections, tests, or approvals other than those required by Laws or
<br /> Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction shall be performed by
<br /> organizations acceptable to the ENGINEER OF RECORD and the
<br /> CONTRACTOR.
<br /> E. If any Work (including the Work of others) that is to be inspected, tested, or
<br /> approved is covered without written concurrence of the ENGINEER OF
<br /> RECORD, it must, if requested by the ENGINEER OF RECORD, be uncovered
<br /> for observation. Such uncovering shall be at the CONTRACTOR's expense
<br /> unless the CONTRACTOR has given the ENGINEER OF RECORD timely notice
<br /> of the CONTRACTOR's intention to perform such test or to cover the same and
<br /> the ENGINEER OF RECORD has not acted with reasonable promptness in
<br /> response to such notice.
<br /> F. If any Work is covered contrary to the written request of the ENGINEER OF
<br /> RECORD, it must, if requested by the ENGINEER OF RECORD, be uncovered
<br /> for the ENGINEER OF RECORD's observation and replaced at the
<br /> CONTRACTOR's expense.
<br /> G. If the ENGINEER OF RECORD considers it necessary or advisable that covered
<br /> Work be observed by the ENGINEER OF RECORD or inspected or tested by
<br /> others, the CONTRACTOR, at the ENGINEER OF RECORD's request, shall
<br /> uncover, expose, or otherwise make available for observation, inspection, or
<br /> testing as the ENGINEER OF RECORD may require, that portion of the Work in
<br /> question, furnishing all necessary labor, material, and equipment. If it is found
<br /> that such Work is defective, the CONTRACTOR shall bear all direct, indirect, and
<br /> consequential costs and damages of such uncovering, exposure, observation,
<br /> inspection, and testing and of satisfactory reconstruction, including but not
<br /> limited to fees and charges of ENGINEER OF RECORDs, architects, attorneys,
<br /> and other professionals. However, if such Work is not found to be defective, the
<br /> CONTRACTOR shall be allowed an increase in the Contract Price or an
<br /> extension of the Contract Time, or both, directly attributable to such uncovering,
<br /> exposure, observation, inspection, testing, and reconstruction; and, if the parties
<br /> are unable to agree as to the amount or extent thereof, the CONTRACTOR may
<br /> make a claim therefor as provided in Articles 11 and 12.
